Smoke Signals is a cinematic audio series narrated by Little Shawn — a storyteller with a front-row seat to the streets, the music industry, and the moments history forgot to write down.

Each episode unfolds like a movie in your ears, pulling listeners into real stories from Brooklyn’s East Flatbush era — where hustlers, rappers, record executives, and street legends all crossed paths in ways most people never knew.

From behind-the-scenes moments in the rise of hip-hop… to encounters with figures tied to some of the culture’s most controversial chapters… Smoke Signals reveals the backstory that never made the headlines.

Raw. Unfiltered. And told by someone who was actually there.

Because sometimes the real story doesn’t come from the spotlight…

It comes from the smoke.

  • EPMD SMOKE
    Apr 27 2026

    This episode of Smoke Signals pulls back the curtain on a story that’s been told the wrong way for years.

    Little Shawn takes you back to a night in Fayetteville, North Carolina that was supposed to be an afterparty—but turned into chaos in seconds. What started as a simple exchange inside a club escalated into violence, gunfire, and a run for survival that most people involved would rather rewrite than remember.

    From touring with Special Ed alongside names like MC Hammer, Public Enemy, and Too Short… to witnessing firsthand how perception and reality don’t always match in the industry, this episode focuses on EPMD—with a spotlight on Erick Sermon.

    This isn’t a polished industry version of events.

    This is what actually happened.

    From the moment tensions sparked inside that club… to the aftermath involving The Hill-Creek Boys… to a hotel scene that introduced Big Daddy Kane and a situation that could’ve gone even further… every detail is told from someone who was there.

    The episode also revisits a later encounter at Apollo Theater, and another situation involving DJ Scratch and Parrish Smith that left more questions than answers.

    No rewrites. No exaggeration. No “entertainer version” of the truth.

    Just firsthand accounts.

    Smoke Signals is dedicated to telling these stories exactly how they happened—not the watered-down versions that get passed around for entertainment.
