À propos de ce contenu audio

 Long before the closed-door meetings and strategy sessions on Capitol Hill, there were hip hop clubs, studio sessions, concerts, and unforgettable nights that defined an era. From Freaknik to Philly, Miami to Cancun, and boxing matches in Vegas, my girls and I lived it—immersed in culture, movement, and moments that mattered.

My journey begins inside New York City’s iconic Tunnel nightclub and leads all the way to the political epicenter of the world.Copyright Allison Zayas Politique et gouvernement Sciences politiques Sciences sociales

      From Uptown Records to Billionaires: Kurt Woodley on Puff Daddy, Mary J. Blige & the 90s
      Feb 12 2026
      Before billion-dollar empires, chart-topping albums, and iconic legacies, there was Uptown Records and a group of young creatives figuring it out in real time.

      In this powerful episode of From the Tunnel to the Hill, hosts Allison and Jet sit down with Kurt Woodley, former VP of A&R at Uptown Records, to unpack never-before-told stories from the golden era of 90s R&B and hip-hop.

      Kurt shares what it was really like when Sean Combs (Puff Daddy) was just an intern running errands and how his relentless work ethic and business mindset hinted at the mogul he’d become. He also breaks down the creation of Mary J. Blige’s groundbreaking sound, the culture inside Uptown, and the risks, chaos, and loyalty that defined the era.
