DJ Paul & HNHH Present “Mafia Radio” Podcast: Xzibit Drops Gems In Debut Episode

HNHH and the legendary DJ Paul have officially joined forces to enter the podcast game, and we’re proud to present the premiere episode of the brand new Mafia Radio. Hosting the series is none other than the Three 6 Mafia veteran, who has watched the game evolve for decades while acting as a key contributor to countless classic tracks — not to mention locking down an Academy Award in the process.

Boasting an immaculate track record behind the boards and a willingness to tell it like it is, DJ Paul is set to hold it down as the Mafia Radio host, where he’ll be chopping it up with artists of all eras — beginning with Xzibit, who recently dropped off the brand new Serial Killers album Summer Of Sam. After breaking down their shared history on Loud Records, the pair reflect on the motivation behind making music for as long as they have.

If you take pride as an artist in being able to write your own records, we gon’ hear it. The real people that’s listening know when they’re hearing. So you can hear when somebody is writing for somebody else. It’s a thought pattern.” – Xzibit

“At this point, making music for people who support me and love me, no matter where they are or who they are,” explains X. “That’s who I do it for. I’m not trying to compete with anyone. Only competition I have is myself. I push myself to that limit, and look. As long as it’s crackin’ and it’s mixed right and it feel right, there’s no time limit on music. There’s no age limit on music.” X argues that only hip-hop is burdened by this perceived “shelf life,” and that nobody would ever tell The Rolling Stones to hang it up. “Stop acting like there’s only seven seats,” laughs X.
There’s a gang of seats!”

The pair also touch on ghostwriters, one of hip-hop’s most controversial topics. “Some of the greatest records we’ve heard have been written by other people,” says X. “For hip-hop, because of its roots — because of the aspect of battle rap, because of being able to come off the head — these are things done by you. People who are really into that, are like Samurais. They like Caine from Kung Fu walking the Earth. If you take pride as an artist in being able to write your own records, we gon’ hear it. The real people that’s listening know when they’re hearing. So you can hear when somebody is writing for somebody else. It’s a thought pattern.”

Though as X declares, one cannot be the best rapper alive if they don’t write their own bars. “That’s a problem,” he says, letting fly his signature laugh. “He going to lose by default. N***as ain’t taking his money, they ain’t taking his plaques, but he can’t have this one!”

Duke Dennis Caught Off Guard by GloRilla’s Flirtatious Bar on New Remix

GloRilla has done it again, bringing excitement to the internet with a surprising shoutout. The Memphis rapper recently joined forces with Jorjiana, a rising artist from the Midwest, on a remix of her song ILBB2. GloRilla’s energy and clever lyrics were on full display, but one particular line really caught everyone’s attention, “They say shooters shoot / Duke Dennis, what’s up with you?” Yes, you read that right! GloRilla gave a shoutout to Duke Dennis, a popular streamer and content creator, in her song. Fans couldn’t wait for him to hear it, and during a recent livestream, Duke reacted with a mix of disbelief and amusement.

When he heard his name, he raised his arms in mock surprise and playfully distanced himself from the line that came right before it, which described friends in a fun way. With a big smile, he seemed entertained and flattered by the mention. Now, everyone is wondering if GloRilla and Duke will actually meet up. Fans on social media are buzzing with excitement, some hoping for a possible romance between the rapper and the streamer, while others just love the fun back and forth moment.

What’s clear is that GloRilla’s move was a smart marketing tactic. She created a moment that went viral and connected with Duke’s huge following, benefiting both of them. The remix will likely attract more listeners, while Duke gained some unexpected attention from a rising star in hip-hop. It’s a win-win situation, and regardless of what happens next, everyone is excited to see where this goes. For now, Duke Dennis can sit back and enjoy this spotlight in the music world. And as for GloRilla? She took her shot, and it seems like she might just have hit the mark.
