    True history!!
    Love listening to this podcast! If you love hip hop and knowing the true story behind how artists got started, their journey, or even the controversies or challenges they faced, this is for you. Colby is the perfect person to tell these back stories because everyone came to his show to talk to him and tell their stories. Would highly recommend!

    Neo-Soul
    Please do an episode about the impact of the Neo-Soul movement of the Early 2000s and how Jazzy Jeff’s A Touch of Jazz crew was such an integral part of its growth and popularity.

    Nice.. but
    Good podcast but host sounds like he’s reading from type or a print out at times.. just doesn’t flow naturally. Especially the opening of the Run-DMC episode.

    Classic Hiphop Interviews
    The fact that Colby Colb Has these historic hip hop interviews are quite amazing. I’ve been waiting on a great podcast to pay homage to the original hiphop greats. I’m looking forward to hearing more of these timeless hip hop interviews about our historic hip hop culture.

    OMG! Reminiscing on yester-years
    This is one of my new top five podcasts! I love how you bring everything full circle, the history of hip-hop as well as it has evolved with each artist. The first episode gave me the feeling of nostalgia, I wanted to break out my cassette tape (if I still had one) and record it like back in the day. THANKS FOR SCHOOLING THE NEW GENERATION 👍🏽👍🏽 Great job Colby🔥🔥🔥

    BackStory LL Cool J
    I heard about this podcast when I was listening to Asia on Majic 95.9. She's so dope that when she talked about it, I had to check it out.

    Thank you Colby Colb
    Thanks for bringing me back to Philly in the 90’s. As a young girl from Jersey Lady B’s raspy voice was music to my ears. She inspired me to pursue an Internship at Power 99 in 90-91 while attending Temple University and my love for Hip-Hop grew with each new artist. “I can’t live without my radio”,~ LL Cool J

    It’s About Time...
    For years I have been waiting for Colby to open the Radio Active Vault on these amazing and insightful interviews. Colby is an industry veteran with first hand knowledge of the music and the artists. He was living the culture at a time before it was “curated”. I can’t wait for class to be in session.
