DJ Muggs and Questlove link up in Hollywood, California for a deep dive into the creative vision that made Cypress Hill one of Hip-Hop's most groundbreaking acts. From SP-1200 grit and Psychedelic textures to Rock-infused boom bap, Muggs traces his journey from Queens to Bell Gardens, revisits the making of classics like "How I Could Just Kill a Man," "Hand On The Pump," and House Of Pain's "Jump Around." Along the way, he discusses his latest collaboration, Don't Call Me Lucky, with Los Angeles lyricist TF, mentoring The Alchemist, and why today's drumless, loop-driven renaissance feels like a continuation of ideas he was exploring decades ago. Still driven by curiosity over convention, Muggs explains why chasing dusty, unconventional sounds remains at the heart of everything he creates.

In Part 2 of DJ Drama's classic Questlove Supreme interview from late 2022, the Grammy Award-winning DJ, producer, and music executive reflects on the 2007 FBI raid that sought to shut down his groundbreaking mixtape empire. History tells a different story: rather than fold, Drama adapted, launching Generation Now and helping usher artists like Lil Uzi Vert and Jack Harlow to stardom.

Drama also shares with Questlove how The Roots influenced his journey, reflecting on the relationships, resilience, and vision that transformed one of hip-hop's most defining setbacks into an enduring legacy.

During the recent Thundercat episode of The Questlove Show, the creation of MF DOOM's iconic mask was misattributed. After QLS past guests (shout out to Dante Ross), friends of the show, and our legions of dedicated listeners called out the mistake, The Questlove Show is proud to set the record straight by welcoming the mask's original and sole creator, KEO—a longtime friend, collaborator, and creative partner of DOOM.

In this QLS mini, KEO tells the story in his own words, sharing the true origin story behind the evolution of DOOM's multiple masks. He reflects on their decades-long friendship and the creative bond they forged through Hip-Hop, visual art, and a bygone era of New York City. KEO also recounts his remarkable journey through the culture—from high school lunchroom battles with Slick Rick and the Kangol Crew, to facing off with Big Daddy Kane, to his connection to 3rd Bass.

The conversation also explores KEO's ongoing efforts to celebrate the legacy of another fallen friend and cultural innovator whose work helped bridge artistic disciplines and shape the underground Hip-Hop movement.

Infinite respect to KEO.
