Global Grooves & Jazzed-Up Bars: We Got the Jazz!

Welcome back, rhythm seekers and crate diggers—this is the Overlooked Tracks, Episode 91, and I’m your host, Kenny Chiba, and this time around we’re riding a global groove that swings smooth and rhymes sharp. We’re dipping the mic in brass and vinyl, flowing with the spirit of Jazz Rap and Hip Hop that knows no borders.
From smoky street corners in Prague to rooftop jam sessions in California, U.S.A. this episode is a sonic passport into the soul of jazz-infused hip hop—a genre where the kick drum swings and the saxophone testifies. We’re talking MPC board meets Miles Davis, boom bap with a blue note twist, and lyricism that sips espresso with Coltrane.
This is the spiritual follow-up to Episode 90, but now the basslines walk, the samples breathe, and the flow is as cool as Thelonious Monk  in mid-solo.So sit back, lean in—We Got the Jazz. We Got the Jazz.
Let’s press play on something timeless.

Bars Beyond Borders: The Overlooked Voices of Hip Hop

What’s good, everyone? You just touched down where the pavement talks and the bassline breathes — welcome to the neighborhood of rhythm and rebellion.
This is Overlooked Tracks, and you’ve just stepped into Episode 90 — a milestone moment, a lyrical landmark, a cipher in time dedicated to the kings and queens of cadence, rhythm, and raw production.
This time around we ride the pulse of hip hop, rap, and producer maestros — those behind-the-boards alchemists and mic-slaying storytellers who turn pain, pride, and poetry into pure gold.

From Vinyl to Vengeance: Rock’s Overlooked Icons

Welcome to Episode 89 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast—hosted by me, Kenny Chiba. 🎸🔥
This time, we’re turning the dial all the way up and diving into the thunderous world of rock music—from the underground legends of the past to the genre-benders shaping its future. This episode is for the headbangers, the riff chasers, and anyone who knows that a good guitar solo can speak louder than words.
We’re talking indie rock with bite, heavy metal that hits like a freight train, and the intricate brilliance of Japanese math rock that’ll leave going bananas. But we’re not just about what’s new—we’re also paying homage to overlooked rock from history that still hits  just as hard today. These are the tracks that time tried to forget, but couldn’t silence.
Whether it’s a fuzz-drenched riff from a ‘70s deep cut or a genre-pushing banger from a present-day band on the rise, this episode is proof that rock—real, gut-punching, soul-shaking rock—is timeless.
So lace up your boots, plug in your air guitar, and get ready to feel the feedback. This is Episode 89 of  Overlooked Tracks, where the past and present collide in glorious volume. My name is Kenny Chiba and again this is the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. 🤘🎶💥
