On this episode of The Danza Project, Danza sits down with JR Writer, Hell Rell, and Duke Da God for an in-depth conversation on Dipset’s legacy, ownership, and the evolution of hip-hop culture. The Harlem and Bronx representatives reflect on their rise during the mixtape era, the realities of navigating the music industry, and the long-term impact of Dipset on New York rap. They speak candidly about being counted out rather than left out, reclaiming ownership of their music, and why this current chapter is about control, longevity, and respect... not nostalgia. Throughout the interview, they discuss: The origins of Dipset and how the movement was built from the ground up The importance of owning masters and learning the business side of music How hip-hop culture has shifted from authenticity to entertainment The changing perception of street credibility and accountability in rap Internal politics, reunions, and how narratives around Dipset are often misunderstood Discovering producer A-Trak at a young age and early creative collaborations Why Double Trouble represents growth, independence, and unfinished business This episode offers a rare, first-hand perspective from artists who helped define an era and continue to shape the culture on their own terms.
