On this show, Isabella Sobieski does a deep dive into the world of hip hop - the old school and new school. What's the latest? Why are the old classics still so popular? How has vinyl replaced CDs? Why do artists release their new albums on cassettes? What are the peaks and perks of marketing and how can new artists find their voice? All this and much more along with good music. Isabella shares her love for hip hop every Monday at 21:00 on Absalon Radio.
