    Bob Power (A Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu, SO Many More)

    Bob Power (A Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu, SO Many More)
    Bob Power is a legendary Engineer and Mixer who's known for his work with A Tribe Called Quest on ground breaking albums like "The Low End Theory" and "Midnight Marauders", having also worked with more artists than I can name (De La Soul, Jungle Bros, Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, The Roots, Meshell Ndegeocello, and so many more).

    In our conversation Bob tells me about his work on these albums, how he got his start in music, and we even get into some mix tips. 

    Portions of this interview appear in the video breakdown of Midnight Marauders, go check out that full video on the Digging the Greats YouTube. 

    Do You Remember, The 29th Day of September 1998?

    Do You Remember, The 29th Day of September 1998?

    Was September 29, 1998, the most significant album release date in hip-hop history? Cultural writer and critic Jacinta Howard joins Panama Jackson to answer that question. Jay-Z, A Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, Brand Nubian, and Black Star all released albums that day that shaped their careers in significant ways, and it may have been the last time that a Tuesday drop had that kind of star power.
