Through these rare interviews and moments, you can actually hear the evolution from a hungry young artist building Roc-A-Fella from the ground up to one of the most influential figures in music and culture. It\u2019s the quintessential Philadelphia story, underdog comes of age with limited resources. The Roots Picnic feels like a full-circle moment because JA\u0178-Z and Philadelphia have always shared a unique connection rooted in respect, hustle, ambition, and growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The journey starts in September 1995, nearly eight months before <strong><em>Reasonable Doubt<\/em><\/strong> dropped. A nervous but confident young Hov sits down for his first radio interview in Philly during his first East Coast promo run. At the time, Roc-A-Fella was still just an idea fighting for space in Hip-Hop, but even then, the hunger stood out.<\/p>\n<p>By 1996, \u201cDead Presidents\u201d was already making noise and JA\u0178-Z was beginning to break down the creation of Reasonable Doubt, discussing everything from the iconic video working alongside The Notorious B.I.G., Ski, and Irv Gotti.<\/p>\n<p>The Backstory Podcast will show how Philly has been part of JA\u0178-Z\u2019s story from the jump. From intimate radio freestyles to sold-out arenas, the city watched the evolution of Hov happen live.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Bill McCay \/ Getty Before JA\u0178-Z became a billionaire mogul, stadium-selling superstar, and one of the greatest MCs to ever touch a mic, he was a hungry artist trying to make people believe in his vision.
