EP10 - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince: Summertime

***EDITOR’S NOTES***

This episode originally aired on YouTube on September 8th 2023.  At this point in our show we created a multiple 8.0-8.4 series that isn’t complete by the time of this stream release.  We’ll revisit it in the new year.  We also finally corrected the episode listings here by titling it episode 10.  Our first episode (currently only available on YouTube) was marked as a Pilot, however, Johnny Warbux kept referring to each episode as an installment so episode 1 was our 2nd installment and so on.  We finally just corrected this on all fronts to match all releases.  So it may look like we’ve skipped an episode here, but the reality is, we just matched the installment number with the release number.  This is the first episode where we began releasing a short description of the video on YouTube as well as promotional hashtags and time stamps!  This episode was also controversially released around the time that the “slap heard around the world” occurred between Will Smith and Chris Rock.  We wanted to do an end of summer song where we could tie in the fall season ahead and The Fresh Prince’s catalog was perfect for that transition as we explain in the show.  We hope you enjoy the show for what it is focused on, the love of this song and the musical legacy/impact this record had/has on the globe.  Once again, please rate and review this show on whatever streaming platform you’re enjoying it on and share it with other Hip-Hop heads you know in your life.
