Sobre el podcast
The Truth Hurts is the antithesis to hip-hop podcasts dedicated to shameless clout-chasing and nihilistic exploitation. Instead of contrived drama and sinister gossip, the show seeks to chronicle the stories and lives of America's most compelling artists. It features journalists who've been embedded for years in the West Coast scene, but covers topics and personalities impacting popular culture at large. Each week, hosts Jeff Weiss, Rosecrans Vic & Free sit down with musicians to break down their art, life and career from an honest, unflinching, music-first perspective.

From the Grammy-winning sound of Digable Planets to the experimental universe of Shabazz Palaces, Ishmael Butler has spent more than three decades redefining what hip-hop can sound like.
Ishmael Butler, also known as Butterfly of Digable Planets and Palaceer Lazaro of Shabazz Palaces, joins Jeff Weiss and Free on The Truth Hurts for an expansive conversation about his extraordinary career, creative reinvention, and the music that shaped his life.
Ish takes us back to his early years in Seattle, playing college basketball while developing the music that would become Digable Planets. He revisits forming the group with Doodlebug and Ladybug Mecca, the success of “Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat),” and the making of their landmark albums Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space) and Blowout Comb.
He also reflects on Digable Planets' unexpected 1994 Grammy win, the story behind his unprepared acceptance speech, and why Blowout Comb ultimately became one of the group's most beloved records despite its initial commercial reception.
The conversation follows Ish's journey through the years after Digable Planets, including his work as Cherrywine, the difficult period when he wondered whether his rap career had passed him by, and how pressing and distributing his own Shabazz Palaces EPs eventually led to a deal with Sub Pop Records.
Plus, Ish shares stories about meeting Herbie Hancock at Flying Lotus's house, collaborating with his son Lil Tracy, being overlooked on a Seattle hip-hop Mount Rushmore, and the inspiration behind his new Shabazz Palaces album, It’s a Style Sport.

What happens when Snoop Dogg sends you a SoundCloud message and you don't see it for six months? For DâM-FunK, it eventually led to 7 Days of Funk.
On this episode of The Truth Hurts, Jeff Weiss sits down with legendary producer, musician, and Stones Throw Records artist, DâM-FunK, for an in-depth conversation about the history of West Coast funk, his journey through the Los Angeles music scene, and the artists who helped shape his sound.
From playing keyboards on Westside Connection's "Let It Rain" alongside Ice Cube, Mack 10, and WC to collaborating with Snoop Dogg on 7 Days of Funk, DâM-FunK shares firsthand stories from decades of making music.He also reflects on the influence of Prince, Junie Morrison, George Clinton, and P-Funk, the origins of his Funkmosphere parties, his relationship with Peanut Butter Wolf and Stones Throw Records, and the rise of funk in mainstream pop music.
Along the way, DâM-FunK discusses growing up in Pasadena, the electronic sound of early LA hip-hop, building a career without a major-label deal, and why staying true to the music has always mattered more to him than chasing fame.

Stones Throw Records founder Peanut Butter Wolf joins Jeff and Vic on The Truth Hurts for a deep dive into 30 years of one of hip-hop’s most influential independent labels.
Peanut Butter Wolf tells the stories behind working with Madlib, J Dilla, MF DOOM, Aloe Blacc and more, including how Madvillainy came together in the Stones Throw house and bomb shelter, the origins of Jaylib, and KRS-One hearing an early Peanut Butter Wolf and Charizma record.
Wolf also talks about discovering Madlib, the evolution of Stones Throw Records, almost signing Odd Future, Tyler, the Creator and the next generation of artists influenced by the label, the rise of streaming, AI-generated music, and what the future looks like for independent record labels.
From the early Bay Area years to Madvillainy, Donuts, Quasimoto and Stones Throw’s 30th anniversary, this is a retrospective on the artists, records and unlikely decisions that helped shape underground hip-hop.

He opens up about his life, explaining how fatherhood helped him find himself, and how he's changed since we last heard from him.
Blxst also traces his origins as a producer, telling the stories behind hit songs like "Chosen," working with Kendrick Lamar, and wanting to become the next Raphael Saadiq or Quincy Jones. He also touches on the controversy surrounding P-Lo producing a beat for Drake, and why he'd probably do the same if the opportunity presented itself.

Cash Cobain, the King of Sample Drill, joins Jeff Weiss & Mz.Free in LA for a conversation about his art and life on The Truth Hurts podcasts.
Cash Cobain was born in the South Bronx, the same place as hip-hop. He grew up in the 50 Cent era, taught himself to make beats in FL Studio at age 9 and started recording songs when Pop Smoke was changing the face of New York. Now, his original sound defines the city.
Inspired by Drake and Future, with a simplistic, minimalist spin, Cash Cobain says he makes songs because “I want people to dance and feel sexy.” He likes having a good time. Even the studio sessions are a party. His beats draw from whatever sample gives him that mood. He chops up everything and lets his label deal with the clearance formalities. He says, “I’m not emotional. Beats will make me cry, though.”
He also claims “Everything in life is based on a woman,” and uses his lyrics to describe his encounters and desires with specific females. He breaks down his approach to writing about women, and how his lyrics could be misconstrued.
Cash Cobain also tells the story of going to the studio with Justin Bieber to lay down his verse on “SWAG,” recording his hit song “fisherrr,” and working with Ice Spice and PinkPantheress. Make sure you watch to see exactly why he’s so afraid of aliens, and why someone in this podcast studio could, in fact, be a shapeshifter from another planet.

DaBoii, one of the greatest Bay Area rappers of the last decade, joins Jeff Weiss and Mz.Free on this special episode of The Truth Hurts filmed at EMPIRE studios in San Francisco.
He talks about the origins of SOB X RBE, his legendary hip-hop group formed in Vallejo, which carried the spirit of the Bay into a new generation while drawing from outside influences like the scenes in LA and Chicago. He also breaks down his solo career, how he and Slimmy B came to an understanding for SOB X RBE’s recent reunion shows, and what he has planned for his own and his group’s future discography.
DaBoii is one of music’s most levelheaded, principled artists, resisting the industry and society’s constant pull toward selling out for clout. He explains why he’s different: changing the game like Steph Curry, or Raphael from Ninja Turtles, or the NWA movie. And of course, he also tells stories like smoking with Snoop Dogg and being in the studio with Kendrick Lamar while making “Paramedic!” for the Black Panther soundtrack.
DaBoii also discusses his favorite 2Pac songs. Check out the article referenced on POW Mag here: https://www.powmag.net/p/the-50-greatest-2pac-songs

This week on the Truth Hurts podcast, Jeff Weiss & Mz.Free travel to the Bay for an interview with local rap supergroup 1Umbrella.
In lineage to The Click and The Pack, 1Umbrella is an organic combination of five of the Bay’s most original rappers—ALLBLACK, 22nd Jim, Lil Bean, Lil Yee and Zaybang—into a group that exemplifies the unique creative spirit and independent hustle of their homebase. Their genuine friendship and individual rap skills translate into an authentic sound forged from the region’s hyphy history, but unified in a goal to change the Bay’s narrative.
1Umbrella breaks down how the Bay has changed since they grew up, how hyphy was dangerous, why almost everyone who’s anyone got their sauce from the Bay, and how the tech industry took over but gang culture never did. They also talk about their love for LA artists like Drakeo the Ruler and Desto Dubb, get into conspiracy theories about aliens and underwater civilizations, and explain why there is never any need for any gimmicks.
