Summary
While Business of HYPE currently takes a seasonal break, we’d like to bring to attention our other podcasts under the HYPEBEAST Radio network. HYPETALKS rebroadcasts live recordings from HYPEBEAST-hosted events around the world, so you can listen to gems of advice from the comfort of your home without waiting in a line or dealing with a crowd.
Our latest show, The Anthropology, dedicates each season to one brand where our host, fashion journalist Tiffany Godoy, takes a deep dive into the companies, brands and people shaping fashion and culture today. Each season focuses on a different topic that criss-crosses borders, languages, genres and eras to tell the story and break down the ethos of these key figures.
Finally, we’d like to spotlight our long-standing music show, MIC/LINE. Hosted by our music editor Emmanuel Maduakolam, he interviews key figures in the music industry to deliver their origin story, current projects, advice and much more. With guests ranging from Freddie Gibbs to Doja Cat, each season delivers a wide spectrum whether it be viral sensations, producers, or legendary rappers. Now in its fourth season, MIC/LINE most recently had the pleasure of interviewing the award-winning artist Lupe Fiasco.
In case you missed it, we sat down with the Food & Liquor rapper at Mission Chinese to discuss his prolific career and his current martial arts docu-series Beat N Path. Produced by Studio SV, alongside Bonnie Chan Woo, the show details Lupe’s travels to China, investigating various martial arts cultures and historical importance.
