Summary

Cipha Sounds sits down with London-born, NYC-based DJ and producer Snips (aka Todd Worsnip — founder of Barbershop Records and Livin' Proof) for a deep dive into UK music and how it really connects to New York. Ciph has been championing UK and Caribbean sounds since 1999, and the two of them get into why it never quite breaks through in the States — plus the Jamaica-to-London-to-Brooklyn pipeline that built so much of what we call hip-hop. With Rocky in the room taking guesses, it goes everywhere.
