Southern Hip-Hop: Explored. Explained. Exalted.

 

On Bottom of the Map we have passionate, eye-opening conversations about hip-hop culture and its impact on the world, and we do it from a unique perspective — one that’s unapologetically Southern, female, and hella informed.

We explore, explain and exalt Southern hip-hop (like nothing you’ve ever heard) through dope conversations about self-care, protest, marching bands, faith, feminism, business, fatherhood, strip club culture, and so much more.

We make this podcast for all the ratchet intellectuals of the world. You know who you are. And we see you, because we are you.

Two incredibly intelligent women of color talking hip-hop culture. I swear they were born to do this.
