About The Almanac of Rap:

The Almanac of Rap is a Webby award-winning show that examines trends in Hip-Hop and their impact over time and it's way more fun than that description makes it sound. Each week our our host Donwill asks a question, presents a theory, and finds a guest to come to some sort of consensus about it. Simply put, it’s a show about rap by a rapper who loves rap music.
