"A CRAZY HOOD STORY"

Welcome to Family Ties, this is a podcast hosted by Jae Havana. For the past few months I’ve had the opportunity to talk to the entire Crazy Hood Productionsfamily.

This is a story of a brotherhood that was birthed in Miami, 25 years ago. And through our love of Hip Hop we’ve built a legacy that goes beyond DADE County. As a collective of talented individuals with a passion for hip hop, we’ve creatively maneuvered our love of the culture into a brand that’s been a staple in Hip Hop History.

We’ve been able to reinvent ourselves successfully and genuinely throughout the years. As Hip-Hop has changed since its origin, we continued to push originality. As the days of the BOOM BAP turned into TRAP, we creatively developed a platform to tell the stories of CHAMPS.

Tune in each week as I speak to each member. Listen to their story from beginning to present. ( READ FULL ARTICLE )

"Always AUTHENTIC, always CRAZY."

Dope Concept

Love hearing the behind the scenes, from the people behind the scenes. Learning about everyone that contributes to the scene brings a different perspective since typically interviews are with the main source. Dope concept.

 Brotherhood

The amazing friendships and how those evolve into loyal and eternal bond amongst brothers gives hope to us all in this out of wack culture and society we are experiencing.

Behind The Music

In an era where content is largely templated and recycled its refreshing to come across the "super hero origin story" of these great people. The CHP story runs parallel with the emergence of hip hop in the south.
