The real is back.
After over two years, the Rap Radar Podcast will finally make its return on August 18.
The Rap Radar Podcast will now be set up shop at Interval Presents, a new podcast network that was launched in April by Warner Music Group. Hosts Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller plan to stick to the script with their extensive interviews with the biggest names in hip hop.
“We feel we’re hip-hop’s most trusted space. We deliver these definitive interviews. It may get repetitive at times but even our colleagues know what we bring and there’s still a need for that,” Elliott tells The Root. “That’s the exciting and humbling part. It’s hard to maintain interest in this world, but there has been this consistent outcry of ‘when is Rap Radar coming back?’ Now you have to deliver.”
B.Dot adds, “I think those guests have value. The approach Elliott and I have with every interview is why now? Elliott and I have never been the type to go after numbers. We care more about a quality product. We know that an executive or businessman will not go viral the way Jay-Z would. But they still have meaningful things to say and our audience craves that. We are still going to provide that balance.”
Since 2015, Elliott and B.Dot have welcomed some of the biggest names in the game from JAY-Z, Drake, Will Smith, Nipsey Hussle, Cardi B, J.Cole, and many more.
The last episode of the Rap Radar Podcast was in 2020 with Royce 5’9″. Last year, Wilson and Miller conducted a special interview, A Rich Conversation With Rick Ross.
