Questlove Supreme
The founding member of Philly’s pride The Roots is an ethnomusicologist. With an encyclopedistic fervor, he is probably, on music, the most well-versed artist/stakeholder in rap culture. Thus, his podcast Questlove Supreme is everything fans might want to experience from the renowned musician (drummer and DJ).
Birthed from the popularity of his music courses at NYU, he started the podcast in September 2016.
In each episode he generously lets others into his brilliant mind, curating content to expand not just your understanding of the subject, or the person he has as a guest, but to push you to understand your own taste. He notes that he prepares for each episode by listening to around 200 songs.
Originally on Pandora and now on iHeartMedia, Questlove has hosted a top-shelf array of influencers that serves as evidence of his star power and reach.
