Milkcrates&Microphones is back with episode 12 and In This Week In Hip Hop (TWIHH) November 9, 1993 A Tribe Called Quest released Midnight Marauders their third studio album. As we quickly learn, that wasn't the only classic album released around this time( WU Tang released Enter the Wu Tang(36 chambers).This sends us into the very undebatable fact that hip hop music has continued to regress with no sign or evidence of an eventual come back, so......we listen to X-Raided's new song "My Second Home" and matt gives us his honest opinion and we talk about our expectations of Raided's future music. You will also hear audio from "Secrets of a Mafia Hitman" an interview with a mask man named Joey. In our Local Artist Spotlight we take a listen to the Stockton based duo of Erupt & Deok. We check out the title track off their new record "Longevity". We also take a deep dive into the Battle rap scene past and present and if we like the modern format of pr-written promoted battles or the freestyle tournaments from the past. This sends us down a Mac Lethal path and we listen to one of his battles and songs.Plus the usual freestyles, song picks of the week, what grinds Matt's gears and is the podcast worthy of public access television?
