In this special BeMo Brown + ReUpAlex episode of The-Re-Up Podcast, we introduce our music tastes, backgrounds, personal stories, and how the artists that were chosen impacted their genres.

This episode introduces a brand new segment: Crate Digging at Fireplace Records in Hyattsville, MD, where we explore the roots of sound through vinyl, personal taste, and musical discovery. Along the way, we break down how iconic artists have influenced entire genres and generations.

We discuss the impact and legacy of artists like Michael Jackson, John Coltrane, Amy Winehouse, Kanye West, B.B. King, D'Angelo, and Kid Cudi, focusing on how their sound continues to shape today’s underground and popularized music scenes.

From personal stories and musical backgrounds to record store gems and cultural commentary, this episode connects the dots between past and present in a way every music fan, creative, and curator will appreciate.
