Ep.31 - You Don't Want To Test The Duo - a podcast by The 5th Element Podcast Network/Hip-Hop By The Numbers

The concept of a duo is an interesting one. You have one-time duos that catch a vibe and decide to make a project together. (The Throne, Drake & Future) You have homegrown duos that grow together (Eric B & Rakim, Mobb Deep, OutKast) and you have anomalies like Run The Jewels that just find the rare camaraderie that is as if they were homegrown.

You also have the duos that rely on expertise. That's where the 1 MC, 1 Producer collabs come in. The DITD duo explores duos from all angles and also give their Top 5 Duos.
