The New/Oldhead Podcast
The New/Oldhead Podcast is where classic hip-hop values meet the ever-changing culture of today. Hosted by Jay Simmons, the show bridges generations—celebrating the roots of rap while dissecting the latest trends, albums, and industry shakeups.
It’s part deep-dive, part barbershop talk: honest opinions, thoughtful analysis, and just enough spice to keep things interesting. Whether you grew up on boom-bap or trap is your first love, The New/Oldhead Podcast is your spot to connect the dots between where hip-hop’s been and where it’s headed.

What Did I Miss?
After a two-year break, Jay is back on the mic and catching everyone up. In this comeback episode, he opens up about where life has taken him since the last recording, shares his vision and goals for The New/Oldhead Podcast moving forward, and breaks down what the “New/Oldhead” mindset really means—bridging generations while staying true to the culture.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper return without some rap talk: Jay digs into his expectations for Drake’s much-hyped Iceman album and what it could mean for the state of hip-hop in 2025. Whether you’re a day-one listener or just finding the pod, this episode sets the tone for a fresh new chapter.
