This week on Dopey! We are joined by Hip Hop pioneer, A&R Maestro, Producer, Writer, Creator, Author Dante Ross! Dante came up on the Lower East Side in the mid seventies. He was known as a friend to the Beastie Boys and worked with RUSH management and Def Jam records. Selling cocaine with Mike D! Making fun of Joey Ramone! That was before his music career kicked off working with De La Soul, and grew as hip hop grew. Dante signed and worked with acts including Brand Nubian, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Queen Latifah, Leaders of the New School, Busta Rhymes, Everlast and Carlos Santana among many others. All along the way drinking and partying until he found himself nestled in long term recovery.
PLUS emails, a voicemail from Florida and much much more on a hip hop heavy episode of the good old Dopey Show
More on Dopey:
Dopey Podcast is the world’s greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit. Chris and I were two IV heroin addicts who loved to talk about all the coke we smoked, snorted and shot, all the pills we ate, smoked, all the weed we smoked and ate, all the booze we consumed and all the consequences we suffered. After making the show for 2 and a half years, Chris tragically relapsed and died from a fentanyl overdose. Dopey continued on, at first to mourn the horrible loss of Chris, but then to continue our mission - which was at its core, to keep addicts and alcoholics company. Whether to laugh at our time in rehab, or cry at the worst missteps we made, Dopey tells the truth about drugs, addiction and recovery. We continually mine the universe for stories rife with debauchery and highlight serious drug taking and alcoholism. We also examine different paths toward addiction recovery. We shine a light on harm reduction and medication assisted treatment. We talk with celebrities and nobodies and stockpile stories to be the greatest one stop shop podcast on all things drugs, addiction, recovery and comedy!
