Founded in 2005 by writer Jeff Weiss (The Ringer, Washington Post, GQ), POW is the last rap blog — one of the the first nationally to write about Kendrick Lamar, Danny Brown, Drakeo, 03 Greedo, and many others. In 2016, it birthed the label, POW Recordings, releasing albums from Chester Watson, Kent Loon, Fatboi Sharif, Rhys Langston, Gabe ‘Nandez, Ness Nite, Pioneer 11, The Outfit TX, Vince Ash, and Zilla Rocca.

The radio show is an extension of this far-flung sound, boasting guest mixes from the rotating cast of POW contributors that span Latin boogaloo to Soviet Jazz to West Coast street rap.

This month’s episode features a live performance and guest mix from Pyramid32x.

Pyramid32x is an electro-psych duo featuring 505 Palisades (Joey Kehoe) and Lapis Pop (Stephen Smith).

The project was born from their weekly improvised synth n’ drum machine jams over the last year and a half and has evolved into their own brand of freestyle industrial psychedelia characterized by 90’s VGM earworms, ancient melodies and acid-house grooves.

They released their first visual EP “Enter the Pyramid: the Labyrinth in Real-Time” on YouTube back in March and have at least a couple more releases scheduled for later this year.
