ADAM 22

Adam Grandmaison, known the world over as Adam22, became one of the leader hip hop podcasters nearly overnight. He’s recognized for scouting and profiling some of today’s leading rappers, from Lil Yachy to XXXTentacion to 6ix9ine, right before they made it to the mainstream charts. However, while Grandmaison has had a love for hip hop since a young age, his success as a music interviewer occurred almost by happenstance after one of his videos went viral.
