Peter Rosenberg: “Cipha Sounds Was Ready For Something New” [Video]

VladTV recently caught up with famed New York radio DJ Peter Rosenberg and got his take on fellow DJ Cipha Sounds departing Hot 97 after nearly two decades at the station. Rosenberg, while understandably sad to see him go, believes Cipha was ready for a new endeavor and he wishes him the best. “He had an incredible run, and I think he’s gonna do incredible things moving forward — that’s my guy for life,” Rosenberg adds. Moving on, Rosenberg is asked his thoughts on freestyles, and he says he loves when people rhyme whether it’s off the top or from written bars. While on the topic of music, the 35-year-old DJ weighs in on Kendrick Lamar’s new single “The Blacker the Berry,” calling it “amazing” and “fire.” Finally, Rosenberg gives his take on the new adidas Yeezy Boost. While he thinks it’s a cool shoe, he’s a Nike guy and always has been.

PRhyme & Adrian Younge On Juan Epstein [Stream]

PRHYME is one of the best albums of the year so to celebrate we had Royce, Primo, and Adrian come by to talk about it, their history together, and Primo’s history in general. As we discuss on the show, this will be the first of several DJ Premier episodes, but still it was a nice start nonetheless. The show begins with just Ciph and I talking shit but the guys show up at around the 30 minute mark. Some highlights include awesome Group Home stories, issues between Puff and Jeru, and much more. Happy holidays from Juan Ep!!!
