If you want to know how hiphop is doing judge it by the artist that still do it for the love, the passion...if we judge by Timothy Rhymes, we're in good hands. He approaches the mic with dedication, ambition and hunger. We talk fatherhood, his new project, sacrifices and the responsibility that comes with grabbing the mic. Timothy opens his doors to Koncept, our co-host Young Baca and producer Fluent Rhythm. Timothy has our full endorsement and support...Ladies and Gentlemen, Timothy Rhymes!

Sitting across from artist like I-Man reminds you that without the achievements of those that came before you, you would not be where you are. Every journey begins with that single step, Tha Mexakinz took that step years ago and haven't stopped walking since. One of, if not, the first Hispanic duo to gain the respect of the industry with a mean delivery and a totally original mindset and sound. I-Man talks Wake-Up Show, the independent artist hustle and maintaining a focus after all these years. It is an absolute pleasure to bring you I-Man! 

Young Baca has hustling in his blood. With work ethic that can only be nurtured not taught, Baca is building an empire, brick by brick. While most are attracted to the lime light, Baca has found his passion in the business side of hiphop. A side most would like to do without, he takes it head on and welcomes the struggle.  Young Baca is doing more for this scene behind the curtains then most emcees ever will behind the mic. Accompanied by some of the best instrumentals in hiphop history, this episode is a benchmark for all to come. B-boys and B-girls, take notes... Young Baca.

It's the return of one of our favorite guest of all time...from Long Beach to NY real is real and T-Kidd is real. His new project "The Premilinary" is the perfect reflection of who this man truly is, a clean, direct and focused vision of the world. From the commercial agenda in hiphop, to the cost of beats and verses, T-Kidd explaines his mentality while creating his image and music. In one the funnest and realest interview from WTFU, T-Kidd drops knowledge on us! It's a true pleasure to continue building with one of the realest and more focused artist out, T-Kidd!

Certain men dance to the rhythm of their own drum, pave their own way and are the ones who leave the footsteps for the rest to follow; Kutt Calhoun is that man. With an original style, a clear vision for the future and laser like focus, Kutt is the future of the game. In this in-dept one on one interview, our very own Fluent Rhythm sit with Kutt and talk more than music, they talk life. In the only place to do this interview justice, this one will go in the record books! Ladies and gentlemen, Kutt Calhoun!  

Every once in a while, you are faced with an opportunity that is too good to pass up and sometimes you don't realize what that opportunity truly means until you are face to face with it. Sitting with Agallah Don Bishop was that opportunity for us. The word legend doesn't begin to describe him. Agallah has shared the studio with names like Guru, Big Daddy Kane, Ras Kass, Chino XL, DJ Premier so on and so on...but Agallah has earned the respect of every single one of them. With years of experience as an emcee and a producer, he rightfully deserves to be named with the greats... It is an absolute pleasure and honor to bring you Agallah Don Bishop.

Tonight Self Provoked makes his controversial return to WakeTheFlokUp! We talk tour life, staying humble, why the Lion King is the best movie ever and head lice. It's been a crazy year for both of us and we have a lot to talk about. Self P is a triple threat to the system; he's talented, hardworking and has the ears countless to his disposal...he's a nightmare to the system because he's one of the realest out! Ladies and gentlemen, a dope emcee, a close friend and one of the meanest on the mic...Self Provoked!

HipHop is made of two type of artist, those that follow and those that lead. The followers live in the comfort zone created by those that came before them, the leaders, ignore the rules and create their own path. Krazy Race is a leader. By creating an outlet that is based on the realizm of the artist themselves, Kracy Race is leaving his own mark on HipHop. An artist, label rep and the host of "The Relevance", Krazy Race is breaking the mold of what a HipHop artist should be and that is how we evolve. Ladies and gentlemen, Krazy Race.

This one is very special, the 12th name off our wishlist is crossed off, Potluck stops by! This duo have been killing it for 10 plus years and they have not lost a step.

This interview will go down in the WTFU records books as one of the best, ladies and gentlemen...Potluck.

Tonight we sit with Menacin Johnson and the very talented Rain Bisou. We talk their current projects, what it's like to hold down a 9 to 5 while hustling your art and how high is too high. This interview is one of the most real yet, it's a reminder that we are all just little kids acting out our dreams as adults. This duo is the perfect example of what happens when you blend, the beauty of the female spirit with the strength of the male mentality. In one of my favorite episodes of all time, we present you...   Menacin Johnson and Rain Bisou.

Tonight we sit with a very gifted and uplifted artist, an artist who is willing to stand by his convictions. An artist who is killing the scene and doing it his way, we sit with Roqy Tyraid.
