The Culture Podcast

The Culture is a weekly podcast that delivers a thought-provoking and edgy take on Hip-Hop culture and current events. Hosted by Jeff DeLaRosa and Anthony Austin, we dive into conversations that are as unfiltered as they are insightful, with diverse perspectives and panelists who are never afraid to speak their minds.
Hip-Hop isn't just a genre-it's a way of life. The Culture is the podcast where that lifestyle is celebrated through engaging discussions and raw, unapologetic content. We showcase the intersection of life and culture, with inspiring, motivating, and empowering conversations that span beyond music to everything Hip-Hop touches. From trending topics to provocative guests, we bring you a unique perspective on the culture you won't hear anywhere else.
Join us every week for an experience that's as authentic as the culture itself. This is the podcast made by the culture, for the culture.
