ORDER THE QUESTIONS HIP-HOP TRIVIA GAME
Original Broadcast: October 28, 2020
For nearly two decades, producer/musician RJD2 has put his own unique spin on the genre of instrumental hip hop. RJ's music has always been a compelling listen, with or without vocals – but he's also collaborated with a gang of artists, including rapper Blueprint (under the Soul Position moniker), as well as projects with singer Aaron Livingston (pka Son Little) and underground legend Aceyalone. Along the way, RJ has produced songs for commercials and TV shows – in fact, an instrumental of one of his songs was used as the theme to AMC's smash hit show 'Mad Men.' RJ's most recent project is 'The Fun Ones,' released on his own record label RJ's Electrical Connections. Songs we explore in this episode:

"Indoor S'mores" ('The Fun Ones', 2020)
"A Beautiful Mine" ('Magnificent City', 2006)
"Wander" (Icebird 'The Abandoned Lullaby', 2011)
"Someday" ('The Third Hand', 2007)
"The Stranger" ('The Colossus', 2010)
"Ring Finger" ('Since We Last Spoke', 2004)
"Saboteur" feat Phonte Coleman ('Dame Fortune', 2016)
