Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua breaks down his early Roc-A-Fella Records years as an A&R, from working alongside Jay-Z, Damon Dash and a young Gee Roberson to building a producer-management vision that helped shape hip-hop history. He recalls meeting Kanye West at a Wendy Day conference in Chicago shortly after Reasonable Doubt, with John Monopoly helping connect the dots, and explains how Kanye later asked him to manage both his production and artist career. Joshua also details the formation of Rock the World and the path toward Hip Hop Since 1978, including early producer relationships with Mahogany, Trackmasters, Alchemist and Buckwild. The conversation also touches on Roc-A-Fella’s small but powerful A&R department, Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, Baltimore, Towson, and the behind-the-scenes decisions that helped launch one of music’s most influential careers.
