A novel fusion of hip-hop and drama – podcasts of the week

Here Comes the Break melds a fictional story with interviews and new music. Plus: illuminating fashion industry conversations, and witty fun with Mike Wozniak

Here Comes the Break
A new concept from Def Jam Recordings and pod makers Double Elvis, Here Comes The Break fuses a fictional story about a hip-hop show with artist interviews and new music. Told from the perspective of the show's host, struggling teenager Ruben (Asante Blackk of Ava DuVernay's When They See Us), it also aims to put the spotlight on mental health conditions, and areas of stress for black men, and black people, in the US. If that sounds like a busy combination, the result is endearingly novel.
