This is not a Drake Podcast – Episode 4: The Rise of the Singing Rapper

'It's pretty common to hear Rap and R&B influences on the same track, but that wasn’t always the case. Hip-hop was not received with open arms by many in the R&B establishment. Still, rappers found creative ways of being heard on the radio, while others pushed beyond stereotypes of Black masculinity to find a new voice. In episode 4 of This is not a Drake Podcast,  Mark Anthony Neal, Kwame Holland, and Briana Younger discuss Kwamé, DJ Frankie Crocker, The Sugarhill Gang, Melle Mel, Teddy Riley, Bell Biv DeVoe, 50 Cent, Kanye West and others.' -- CBC
