Hip 2 Da Games

By: 19 Media Group
  • Summary

  • Desmond Powell was the kid with the grandest NBA dreams and in the recent years developed a similar obsession with Hip-Hop. While basketball and Hip-Hop have went hand-in-hand for years, he realized that there has never been a platform that combined both simultaneously, so he decided to create it. With its name inspired by the famous Lord Finesse song, this podcast is for you: the basketball junkie AND Hip-Hop head. The goal is simple: Desmond wants you to remember why you loved both in the first place and more importantly, realize that Hip 2 Da Games is not just a podcast, it's a lifestyle.
