This week we welcome in an absolute beast of the independent hip hop scene, the illustrious Curly Castro. One half of Shrapknel, a member of the Wrecking Crew, and co-host of the Call Out Culture Podcast, Castro joins us today to discuss his upcoming record titled Yaphet which will be released September 18 2026.

But that's not all. Being The Nostalgia Pit, we had to talk about comic books, making bootlegs in the 90s & early 00s, reggae riddums, and so much more... Make sure to check out Yaphet when it drops. In the meantime, go check all his past music. You won't be disappointed.
