    Semi-Soundtrack Review: The Book of Clarence

    Semi-Soundtrack Review: The Book of Clarence

    This week, Sumit and Chris review (kinda) the soundtrack for The Book of Clarence, directed by Jeymes Samuel. The hosts don't even know what the movie is about because it's out this coming Friday, but they love soundtracks.
    The duo thoroughly discusses Jay-Z and D'Angelo FINALLY collaborating for the soundtrack for a 10-minute madness. You can also expect a candid chinwag about the importance of soundtracks to the film viewing experience, and Sumit and Chris end by highlighting some of their favourite soundtracks.

    Documentary Review: May The Lord Watch - The Little Brother Story

    We're big fans of Little Brother over here - as musicians, as people... we love what Little Brother brought to the table and brings to our lives to this day. We sit down and chop it up about the Rap Portraits produced May The Lord Watch documentary that highlights the 20+ year journey of the legendary Hip Hop group. We discuss the production, the narrative, the guests, the likes, the loves and the tea. We also reflect on how the Little Brother story has impacted our partnership on this podcast.

Breaking Atoms puts in the work

Each episode takes thorough and insightful looks inside the world created by the featured artist. B.A. ask excellent questions in their interviews and do their due diligence. And the 5-part series on Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt is a must listen. Highly recommended.
