In 2007, we launched Streetwatch TV, a brand-new program featuring artist interviews, live performances, and music videos (new and old) from a wide assortment of hip-hop luminaries. Focusing on underground emcees as well as pioneering legends, we produced 15 episodes in the first season. These are five standouts. Enjoy!

Episode One

The debut of Streetwatch TV, featuring interviews with Bronx legend AG and fast-rising Bay Area emcee Melina Jones, plus a live set from MED.

Episode Three

Streetwatch hits SXSW, with live sets from Rakim and Kidz in the Hall, plus a sit-down with soul-funk guitar icon Dennis Coffey.

Episode 11

In this special New York edition, we interview Da Beatminerz and check out the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival.

Episode 12

This week, we kick it with DJ Qbert, hit up a Black Moon show, and watch a classic Pharcyde video.

Episode 14

An interview with indie-rap hero Aesop Rock, video from A Tribe Called Quest, and Kool Keith live in SF.
