One of the most memorable hours of television I\u2019ve seen in 2016 was Episode 7 of Viceland\u2019s new series, NOISEY. In its first season, the show is described as \u201ca first-hand look into the cultures and artists behind some of the world\u2019s most compelling music scenes.\u201d Each episode features a different locale, and last month they took the time to focus on Detroit.<\/p>\n

I was first introduced to the music and the story of Big Sean during the summer before my freshman year at Michigan State, and I first listened to Doughboyz Cashout thanks to my students and baseball players at Northwestern High School. This 45-minute episode features both of these Detroit artists, along with Danny Brown, Trick-Trick, and more. It does an excellent job of telling the story of the music that comes out of Detroit and showcasing the perspective of the people upholding the city’s tradition as a music powerhouse. I would highly recommend taking the time to watch the episode.<\/p>\n
