What up this is open mic ego welcome to season three episode nine

Whoops

episode eight

I don't always count well. You know what this either eight or nine

It would be really hard for me to stop and check and also continue

To talk so this is episode eight or nine depending on

If I was right with my first mind or my second yes

Anyway, the topic of this episode

Where we're chronicling the life and career of mr. Dante Ross and at this point

He discovers signs. I mean not necessarily discovered in this case, but he signs a

Very important hip-hop duo one of the greatest producers of all time on beach. This is Pete rock and CL smooth

So Dante signs them put some on at Electro and he puts out albums that are

Pretty well regarded. I mean, I would say almost universally regarded as classics for people who are into

rap from that era and

I think one came out 92 and the other one came out 94 and

I don't think I heard either of them until 95 and 96 so when I'm hearing them I

Am thinking oh this is classic material because everybody knows these are classic albums

So it's interesting to talk to Dante and hear that

And that ends up being an interesting part of Dante's story going forward

Let's get into it
