Donwill expressed his excitement about the podcast's Okayplayer launch, saying, "Hip-hop has always been more than just music to me – it's a culture, a movement, and a way of life. With 'The Almanac of Rap,' I want to honor the legacy of hip-hop while also exploring its current state and future direction. I'm thrilled to share these stories and conversations with listeners and to celebrate the art form that has given so much to me and many others."

"The Almanac of Rap" podcast combines educational investigation with entertainment, diving deep into hip-hop culture to uncover its origins, evolution, and societal impact.
