Today on The Roundtable, we’re joined by hip hop legend Kwamé, who burst onto the scene in the late ’80s with hits like The Rhythm and Ownlee Eue, and became instantly recognizable with his signature polka dots and inventive flow. Now, after decades of shaping the sound of hip hop behind the scenes, Kwamé returns with his brand-new album The Different Kids — a 16-track project that blends the golden era style fans love with a fresh, modern edge.
In this conversation, Kwamé opens up about his journey from rap pioneer to acclaimed producer, working with artists like Mary J. Blige, LL Cool J, Will Smith, Missy Elliott, and Christina Aguilera. He reflects on what it was like coming up in the golden age, why The Different Kids is such a personal statement, and what he hopes this new chapter will mean for the next generation of hip hop.
