Legendary A&R/Executive Dante Ross was the latest guest on The Juan Epstein Show and shared close to two hours worth of gems on the hip-hop historian podcast. The culture pioneer discussed the NYC rap scene in the 80s and early 90s, and shared personal stories featuring the Beastie Boys, LONS, Q-Tip, The Beatnuts, Pete Rock and CL, Brand Nubian, 3rd Bass, MF Doom, and much more. An interesting story from the segment sheds light on how Ross used to hide guns on airplanes by using a tactic taught to him by KRS One.
