On this episode of The New/Oldhead Podcast, I sit down with rising Bronx artist Mark Saunders to dive deep into his new project, In Due Time — a body of work rooted in patience, self-belief, and the grind it takes to get where you’re going. We talk about Mark’s early beginnings in hip-hop, the influences that shaped his sound, and the ongoing balance between real-life responsibilities and artistic purpose.
From creative discipline to personal growth, Mark opens up about what it truly means to build something brick-by-brick. We also zoom out to discuss the current state of New York radio and how the cancellation of Ebro in the Morning shifts the cultural landscape for NYC hip-hop — the platforms, the voices, and what comes next for the city.
