Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua sits down with Vlad to trace his journey from Harlem to the early days of Roc-A-Fella Records, sharing firsthand stories about Jay-Z, Dame Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke building an independent powerhouse. The legendary A&R and manager breaks down how Roc-A-Fella moved through Payday, Freeze Records and Priority Records while Jay-Z crafted *Reasonable Doubt*, including the rise of “Dead Presidents” and “Ain’t No” with Foxy Brown on *The Nutty Professor* soundtrack.
Joshua also addresses long-running rumors about Nas, AZ and the planned collaboration that became “Bring It On.” He clarifies that AZ missed a confirmed studio session, while Nas was discussed but never fully locked in—an early missed connection that Joshua says didn’t start a full beef, but failed to create a bond. The conversation also touches on Biggie’s video cameos, DJ Premier, Jaz-O, Sauce Money and the roots of the Jay-Z vs. Nas tension.
