We've teamed up with Come Hear NC on a podcast series that explores North Carolina music one song at a time. On this episode, Durham musician, activist, and scholar Pierce Freelon talks to us about Pigmeat Markham's 'Here Comes The Judge' and its influence on modern hip hop.
"As a hip hop artist and hip hop historian who's looked into the roots of the genre and the culture, I was really surprised to learn that one of the pioneers of the genre was from my hometown in Durham."
