Hip-hop culture host: Axel

Hip-hop culture host, cool, knowledgeable, and passionate

Prompt: A cool, warm male voice for a hip-hop-culture podcast. His smooth mid-baritone is knowledgeable and passionate, treating the culture with deep respect, engaged and current. There's a it's-bigger-than-the-music truth in his tone. The sound of a host who makes a verse breakdown feel like a history lesson and a celebration.

Script: People hear hip-hop, and they hear the hits, the singles, the stuff on the radio. But this was never just music, you understand me? This was a whole culture born out of nothing, out of block parties and hand-me-down turntables. Kids making art from the scraps the world gave them.
