Offner Offbeat

INDEED!!! 🏆 Since this is the relaunch of the newly formatted podcast, I felt that we needed to do things up proper and who better to join me on the first episode than Mr. Dopeflow himself… Spoda. The Long Island rapper out of Bay Shore joined me in the privacy of my home studio to catch up about his recent performance with The Walkers at Tuff City Styles in the Bronx (shoutout to the whole collective Rim, Eddie Kaine, Bub Rock, Ty Farris, Plex Diamonds, Chyna Streetz, The Artivist, Smoovth, Wavy, DJ Anthony Mace and Rome Streetz), his upcoming project Loosey Smoke 3 hosted by DJ Beanz and more. We also talk about the groundbreaking Verzuz battle between The Lox vs. Dipset, the new Kanye project, our most underrated/overrated rap lists, and just some really awful tattoo ideas.

Tha Riot Squad was created by four young rappers from the same neighborhood, who linked up in the early 2000s to form a hip-hop supergroup the likes of which could never be duplicated. Unfortunately, the loss of Rayquan “Stack Bundles” Elliot, who was shot and killed in 2007 by an unknown assailant outside of his apartment building, and Lionel “Chinx Drugz” Pickens, who was shot and killed just three months prior to his 2015 debut album, “Welcome to JFK,” was scheduled to be released, further delayed the group’s plans to release a full-length posthumous record that would pay proper tribute to both Stack and Chinx. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/offner/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/offner/support
