Description: Quiet as kept, Hus Kingpin has been a pillar of Hip Hop’s new Golden Era for nearly a decade. The wave that began with Roc Marciano, Brownsville Ka and is now heavily championed by artists like Rozewood, Westside Gunn, and Mach Hommy was heavily facilitated by the efforts of Long Island’s humble god. Hus always showed love to talented artists. But unfortunately, that love hasn’t always been returned. IN HIS FIRST EVER INTERVIEW, Wavo clears the air on his infamous rift between once close allies Westside Gunn and Mach Hommy. As he describes, Hus was integral in connecting the two talented MCs early in their careers, but fate and miscommunication drove a wedge in the cypher. For the first time ever, Hus Kingpin explains why. Also in this conversation, the Long Island MC details the timeline of this New Golden Era Hip Hop which has finally made it to Grammy recognition. Around the 54 minute mark, the discussion transitions to the phenomenal impact Roc Marciano had in cementing the sound, why he’s the Rakim of this wave, and the prescient nature of Gza’s 2008 release, ProTools. Hus Kingpin’s buttery release Portishus, is currently available. Portishus is inspired by the legendary Bristol band, Portishead.
