Kane Mayfield is a Hip Hop artist from the DC area who sells his music via Blockchain and has made multiple moves selling and making money in cryptocurrency. Chris had questions for him, and what happened was not planned.

You're about to listen to a music conversation of epic proportions. This exchange is not for casual, surface listener fans. Then again, anyone who listens to this podcast likes music of a particular taste and standard. Kane and Chris geek out about Big Pun, Onyx, rhyme schemes, poetic devices, stealing Canibus bars, Ras Kass' humour, black sponge cake (whatever that is), UK Hip Hop, the greatness of Kyza Smirnoff, liner notes, mix tapes, and so much more.

Rap Nerds... mount up.

For our first full episode of 2025, we're taking a detour. In June 2021, we released our first narrative series detailing Jay-Z's creation of 'Reasonable Doubt'. We did over 50+ interviews, and the last one we did for the series was with DJ Clark Kent.

After his tragic passing in 2024, we've decided to share the FULL UNEDITED interview with you, which was a candid chat with one of Hip-Hop's most significant contributors and creatives. We sounded like amateurs because we were a little giddy when speaking to one of our Hip-Hop heroes. Across 90 minutes, God's Favourite DJ shares stories about Jay-Z, Jaz-O, Sauce Money, details of unreleased tracks from the 'Reasonable Doubt' sessions, classic albums, and more. To close, he shares why Hip-Hop culture needs to cultivate itself from within.

Whatever you do, make sure you call him DJ CLARK KENT.
