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.
Co-hosts: Christina Lee (music journalist) and Dr. Regina N. Bradley (hip-hop scholar)
“I cannot recommend the Bottom of the Map podcast enough. If you are looking for deep knowledge that creeps up on you like heavy syrup, this is it.”
