Episode Fifteen Part Two: The Hip Hop Documentary--Discussing "A Man Named Scott: The Kid Cudi Story"
featuring D'Artagnan Byrd
Welcome to part two of episode fifteen where Jordon and guest D'Artagnan continue their discussion of the The Hip Hop Documentary! On this episode the two bring in to their talk the recently released documentary on music artist Kid Cudi, entitled "A Man named Scott: The Kid Cudi Story", directed by Robert Alexander which chronicles the career of Kid Cudi, and his impact and life as one of the most influential music artists in the last decade. D'Art and Jordon discuss how the Kid Cudi's story in the documentary effect them, the way documentary shows Kid Cudi's influence and impact in hip hop, how Kid Cudi's style of a mixture of singing and "just saying it" rap ushered hip hop into a new sound and a new way to express, as well as other topics the documentary discusses such as vulnerability in hip hop, mental health, Cudi's struggles with fame, and how to heal and grow in this life. Along with discussing the movie, the two pose the question: how does this documentary fit into the history of Hip Hop Documentaries? They also talk about the importance of the existence of hip hop documentaries in a world that still sees hip hop as only entertainment and not serious music. Also, just like in part one, in this episode you'll get to hear the rest of D'Art's 25 songs that helped him fall in love with hip hop. You'll get to hear classic hip hop tracks, examples of the humanity often believed to be non existent in hip hop, exquisite music production, and amazing song writing. Thank you for listening to the Jordon River Radio Show! Enjoy this episode!

Episode Thirteen: Creating Understanding for the
AAPI Community
Welcome to Episode Thirteen of The Jordon River Radio Show! On this episode in order to continue to doing something to combat the racially motivated attacks on the AAPI community that still continue two years into the global pandemic, and help in this community's fight for equality in general, Jordon speaks out on the constant attacks on members of the Asian American Pacific Islander community, as well as offers suggestions people can take to aid AAPI community folks in their struggle, and takes time to highlight and discuss just some of the long, rich history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders fight for equality in the United States.
The show begins with Jordon revisiting a proclamation he made in an essay he wrote two years ago on this issue that unfortunately came true. It took the rise of attacks and loss of life concerning the APPI community last year to get this country paying attention to what was happening to this community. Even more unfortunate, the attention on these attacks have nearly disappeared with our country continuing it's action in ignoring the issues of racism the AAPI community deals with. This is partially Jordon's motivation for choosing the radio show to continue to try and help. He attempts to bring back into public consciousness what Asians Americans and Pacific Islanders have been going through by highlighting different victims of attacks and discussing the unequal treatment of a community close to his heart. In the second segment, Jordon provides ways for those wanting to help in the AAPI community's fight for equality and equal protection and ways to engage in AAPI Heritage month as a way to not only celebrate this community, but to be able to approach aiding this community from a humanity place first. Jordon discusses what it means to treat others as human beings and how doing this can help a community fighting to be treated equally. Jordon then takes time to highlight and help the listener remember the just some of the vast history and culture of resistance of the AAPI community. Within this segment of the episode Jordon continues to work to dispel myths and hateful narratives of this community, and works to help the listener see that this community is impossible to limit, and should be seen and treated as human beings.
Within the episode Jordon puts together a musical experience that encompasses some of his favorite songs and artists from last year and this year, ranging from jazz, Mexican folk music, hip hop, indie, soul and R&B, Japanese pop, and more. Jordon makes it all flow together, bringing a beautiful and introspective experience to an episode that is meant to connect to the listener and hopefully move them to thinking about this issue and how they can aid in the AAPI community. With touching music from artists like St. Vincent, Earl Sweatshirt and Armand Hammer, Enji, Anouar Brahem, songs about liberation form Chris Kando Iijima, Nobuko Miyamoto and "Charlie" Chin, KeiyaA, and CHAI, music to dance to from Toro y Moi, Jerry Paper, and DJ Harrison, Jordon creates a listening experience that will positively effect the listener. The same is Jordon's intent and hope for this episode.
Thank you for listening to the Jordon River Radio Show.

Episode Twelve: LA Music Series--The Music of and Conversation with Generación Suicida
Welcome to Episode Twelve, the fourth episode in my LA Music series! On this episode I'm conversing with and bringing you the music of Generación Suicida! GS is a hardcore punk band from South Central LA and one of the most popular bands in the underground hardcore scene in LA. The group consists of Tony, lead vocals and guitar, Elias on bass and background vocals, Kiwi on drums and background vocals and Mario on guitar and they are one of the most creative bands in underground, punk rock, and music in general, as well as a band who actively try to create progressive change for their community with their music. GS's creativity comes through in a variety of ways and it's showcased in this episode. Whether its in their effortless blending of non traditional punk musical elements into their music like Mexican folk music or guitar chords found in other genres of rock, or mimicking the sound of machine guns to drive home the communal and personal affects of police brutality, or delivering precise lyrics that give you some of the most deepest insight into the human condition you'll hear in music. All of GS songs are sung in Spanish with their own original takes on the language, and whether you understand the lyrics right away or not, you will feel this music.
Throughout the episode you'll get to hear GS's amazing music and hear my conversation with Tony, Kiwi, and Elias! We talk about their motto "musica del barrio, para el barrio, and how that stance influences the music they make, these three's favorite musical memories, how Kiwi has overcome and continues to fight against sexism in the punk scene, how punk became mode of expression for them, instilling pride into the people in their community and more!
I'm so excited for you to listen to this episode and hear some amazing music and a great conversation.
Thank you Tony, Kiwi, and Elias for taking the time to talk with me. It was really fun, educational, and a good time! I appreciate you. Next time Mario!

Episode Eleven: LA Music Series--LA Alternative
Welcome to Episode Eleven, the third episode in the LA Music series on current music from Los Angeles! On this episode Jordon gets into alternative music and puts together a collection of some of the best artists from LA and in music who not only make alternative music but expand as well as re-invent what is considered to be alternative music. From the colorful indie rock of Chicano Batman, the soulful, latin rooted doo wop of Trish Toledo, to the resurgence of New Wave lead by artists from Leaving Records, the haunting yet relatable heaviness of folks like Phoebe Bridgers and Girlpool, to the variety of styles of punk music coming from LA legends like Alice Bag and No Age and from newer acts like the Linda Linda's and KennyHoopla!
While the music flows in and out, Jordon explores what makes these artists working in alternative so special. Jordon discusses how these artists make fresh and original music while still sounding familiar and how doing this has influenced genres like indie, soul, funk, rock, pop, and others, and have helped define what we know to be these genres and what they are today. Jordon also spends time delving into the LA indie label Leaving Records who have always released music that challenges mainstream and indie music formulas, expectations, generic conventions, music business models, and musicality, and are currently at the forefront of revitalizing New Wave, making it relatable to a new generation of listeners. The episode then goes into a brief history of the Latinx community's contribution to creating hardcore punk and being a group responsible for hardcore's prominence in the U.S. Keeping with artists from LA's contribution to punk, Jordon talks about the LA artists right now who are pushing pop punk in a new direction.
Thank you for taking some time to get into some more music, music cultures, music histories, and music scenes from LA! Thank you for listening to the show!

Episode Eight: LA Series-The New Mecca of Hip Hop--Los Angeles featuring @LOVEHALFBLACK/ Jerry Sypkens
Episode Eight and the second episode of my series on current music, musical movements, and musical culture in Los Angeles. On this episode I have my best friend, music producer, musician, and one of the most knowledgeable people on music I know, Jerry Sypkens also known as LOVEHALFBLACK!!! We discuss why we think Los Angeles is producing the best music in hip hop! This was initial idea I had that birthed the LA music series and I'm so happy to talk about it and I believe make a good case on why Los Angeles is and has been the Mecca of Hip Hop for some time. Also Jerry's music is featured on each segment (the first song) and Segment three (second song)!
Jerry and I discuss three essential areas of what makes a city the epicenter for Hip Hop: lyrical efficiency, highest level in musicality, and cultural and worldwide influence. We talk about the lyrical abilities of global level artists like Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, Nipsey Hussle, Murs, and Dom Kennedy and how mc's from LA cover many styles of rapping, tell the best stories, and how they're lyrics give a deeper and introspective look into the lives the artists rap about. We also talk about how LA began to sound original during the time of Atlanta's dominance with trap music and how from 2014 until now how LA rappers create in their own sound in the mainstream and kept making great indie and underground records, and have shown expansiveness and originality in their music to become the Mecca of Hip Hop. We discuss the influence that LA Rap music and culture has had on Hip Hop culture, American culture, and the world with music, gang culture, protest music, slang, fashion and more. We also get into some of our favorite musical memories--for Jerry it was seeing LA artist Dam-Funk perform live and his embodiment of LA culture, and for me it was dancing on a crosswalk to Kendrick Lamar!
We play mainstream, independent, underground artists and mc's that exist in all three areas and in their own lanes. There are so many great rappers from LA and here is a good batch of folks that show why Los Angeles is the place where the best Hip Hop lives.

Episode Seven Part Three: LA Music Series--The Music of and Conversation with The Koreatown Oddity
Its Episode Seven Part Three featuring the music and conversation of emcee and producer the Koreatown Oddity! Ktownodd has been making music that sets himself far apart from peers in underground hip hop and has made him original and unique artists in hip hop in general. From how his raps are direct, humorous, honest, and funky, writing his lyrics in order for the listener to hear philosophy, and universal truths without coming off preachy, only wanting to help, to kicking raw, uninhibited raps with the freedom rarely heard in hip hop acts.
Little Dominiques Nosebleeds is Ktown odds latest album. He brings back the narrative hip hop album, a concept and form which hasn’t been done in awhile and puts his own unique fixings to make it sound distinctive and fresh. Inspired by several car accidents he experienced as a child which brought him closer to a higher power and made him more insightful, he talks about his tales, how they impacted him, and while giving literal oral history of black people in the area of Koreatown in Los Angeles. Along with stellar production that makes the album cinematic and times novel-esc, Little Dominiques Nosebleeds is a great album about a number of experiences for a human being that grows them into who they are, and is full of fresh stories on the human experience.
In our conversation, we talk about the album, his inspiration for making a personal album, what influenced him to uplift others while in a place of self affirmation, what it’s like to be on Stones Throw Records, the black persons lived experience as the black experience, our love for Taraji P Henson (this will make you laugh), his work with the late legendary LA producer Ras G (featured on Episode Seven part 2) and a lot more.
Thank you Ktownodd for talking with me. This was a blessing in many ways. Thank you all for listening, and for coming to the River!

Welcome to Episode Six of the Jordon River Radio Show featuring the music of one global music's and raps up and coming emcees, HAN HAN. I got the opportunity to interview HAN HAN for a profile piece in 2019 but the piece was put on hold due setbacks and after given the go ahead by Han, it turned into an amazing conversation for you all to hear! In 2014, she self-released her debut album, Han Han, which was praised by NOW Magazine, the Huffington Post, and the CBC. The single ‘World Gong Crazy’ was nominated for "Best Song" at the in Berlin Music Video Awards 2017. The record also led to a publishing deal with EMI, high-quality film / television placements, and international radio play in Germany, France, New Zealand, Australia and the Philippines. Her music has been featured in the Amazon Original Series series "Mad Dogs", and her voice was recently sampled for the trailer for the upcoming Aretha Franklin movie.
We discuss Han's path into hip hop, how personal stories connects fellow cultures, finding one's identity as an artist, the influence and incorporation of Filipino traditional instruments in her music, her detailing ideas and concepts for her second album before it came out (!) her musical influences from Lauryn Hill to Nirvana, to Damien Marley, and more!
