Late last year, Mero sent me a text and asked if I knew how to produce radio. This was after the news broke that he’d be taking over the Hot 97 morning show. I told him, what he’s gonna be doing is more than radio. It’s gonna be a multi-platform operation. I imagine if I could see him on the other side of my response he slapped the table and said THIS IS WHAT WE NEEED!!! So he threw me the pass like Magic to Jordan in 92 and I joined the team as executive producer 40 episodes into their run. 60 episodes later, we hit 100 yesterday. Mero, Miabelle and Kaz should be extremely proud of what they’ve done. It’s not an easy task to follow a previous show that was a hallmark in the market. But together, we, along with Kast One and Shani Kulture, have made something wholly original. There’s a lot of good options out there. Salute to them all. We’re one of them too. We are local; a New York show with that POV in a New York market. We’re silly but serious; we talk about hip-hop, culture, politics, technology and CRAZY CRAZY ISH (that last one is the title of a regular segment, btw).Then at 8am everyday we’re a TV show on the Hot 97 TV Fast Chanel (Spectrum) with a monologue (The Mind of Mero), games and more; while still being a radio show. Our callers are the illest—they call for Messy Monday, Trauma Bond Tuesday, Win Pon It Wednesday, Power to the People Thursday and Fried Day. We got flavors. If you ain’t up on it, tune in, listen on our app/radio apps, and watch on YouTube. I put my head down and did the work to get us going and am enjoying it for a sec today. Back to the grind on Monday. And since my first day was on March 9th will end on this: same number, same good. It’s all good. 🫡😤 📸 @djrobdinero | 🎥 @iamchristinediaz 05 Jun 2026

Jayson Rodriguez (@jaysonrodriguez) is a well-known culture writer, producer and editor with a long list of accomplishments to celebrate. Critical Minded was thrilled to sit with him to discuss hip-hop journalism at the 2024 Word Life gathering celebrating 50 years of the culture. Covering hip-hop, R&B and popular culture for over 20 years, Jayson has interviewed some of the biggest names in music during his distinguished career, including Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Drake, Queen Latifah and Dr. Dre, among others. He’s held high-profile positions at MTV News, Vibe and XXL; more recently, Jayson has guided a number of prominent multimedia projects as an executive producer, includingThe Breakfast Club on BET and Spotify’s The Bridge: 50 Years of Hip Hop hosted by Nas. And he still writes about hip-hop often via his Backseat Freestyle newsletter. Are you committed to the craft of hip-hop journalism?

On the eve of the biggest release of his career, in terms of volume and importance, J.Cole has the challenge, according to some (or many, depending on your timeline), of ensuring his place in the cannon of hip-hop, perhaps adding a final punctuation to the defining rap battle of his era and…speaking on all of society’s ills. Of course, he also doesn’t have to speak on any of this. He already has, in so many different ways, so many times before. So, what more can he say? Hit the link in the bio for more and to subscribe to the newsletter if you aren’t already: you’ll get essays, recommendations to new music, music videos and podcasts. Plus, we’ll send you a couple of playlists as soon as you sign up. #jcole #thefalloff #hiphop #hiphopmusic 05 Feb 2026

Hip-hop men of a certain age are releasing new music more than ever. Why now and what does it mean? I connected with the good brother Datwon Thomas (King, XXL, Vibe) to chat about albums from Common, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Tip, LL and more. We had ball talking about it. I think you’ll feel the same listening to it. #hiphopculture #hiphop #hiphopcommunity #adulthiphop #explorepage✨ 28 Sep 2026

Tuskegee University’s new dress code has everyone talking. 👀 Do we agree or disagree with banning bonnets and durags on campus? Is it about professionalism, personal expression, or something more? We broke it all down on the latest episode of Selective Ignorance. 🎙️ Watch the full episode and let us know where you stand in the comments. ⬇️ #SelectiveIgnorance #TuskegeeUniversity #CollegeCulture 06 Aug 2026

Should an Uber driver have the right to kick out a disorderly passenger, or is the “customer always right”? 🤔 A viral video sparked a heated debate on this week’s episode of Selective Ignorance—and the room was completely split. 👀 Whose side are you on? Listen to the episode and join the conversation. #SelectiveIgnorance #Podcast #Uber 02 Aug 2026

FATHER TIME REMAINS UNDEFEATED is one of the great idioms in sports. It a reference to the physical limitations of mankind. Michael Jordan was beset by a cranky knee; LeBron’s back is starting to bark like a Beagle. But you don’t have to make your bones on the court to know that time is not on our side. Take Jay-Z, for instance. The rapper’s last solo offering was way back in 2017. Sure, he’s put out verses here and there. But he’s been relatively inactive for what amounts to a generation or two (maybe even three!) in social media years. So as the societal views on capitalism, morality and social justice evolve and shift among the younger set, his long track record is not solely a marker of his success but fuel for those with active fingers and an iPhone. Now that the volume has perhaps become too loud for his liking, Jay is grabbing the mic to have his say during his three-night run at Yankee Stadium following his headlining appearance at The Roots Picnic. Friend or foe, yo? Hit the link in the bio to read the rest and to subscribe for more like this. 🚙 #jayz30 #eminem #yankeestadium 17 Jul 2026
