DJ King Flow interviews Hatch Wiseguy for Mixtape Addict 106

French DJ and producer DJ King Flow returns with a new edition of Mixtape Addict on Scientific Sound Asia, delivering another selection of underground Hip Hop. The Vietnam-based platform operates as an international radio station, promoter, DJ agency and music news outlet, giving space to artists connected to the core values of Hip Hop culture.

DJ King Flow began DJing at the age of fourteen, developing a style rooted in Boom Bap while keeping a contemporary outlook. Drawing from the foundations of 1990s Hip Hop, his sound stays connected to the present through consistent support for emerging voices from the international underground.

That ability to bridge generations has earned him recognition from listeners and artists worldwide. His career includes collaborations with respected figures such as Ras Kass, Tragedy Khadafi, O.C., Juicy J and Khujo Goodie, reflecting his commitment to preserving and promoting Hip Hop foundations.

Since launching Mixtape Addict in 2015, DJ King Flow has developed the platform into a hub for independent artists. The project combines Hip Hop radio broadcasts, interviews and mixtape releases, strengthening the underground community through regular exposure and artist-focused programming.

His wider activity can be followed through Facebook, X and the Mixtape Addict YouTube channel. Alongside his work as a selector and interviewer, DJ King Flow continues to expand his catalogue as a producer and collaborator.

His instrumental album The Adventures of F.J. Parker blends jazz-influenced melodies, soulful textures, deep grooves and the raw character of classic Hip Hop production. Further projects, including Trill Legacy (Instrumentals), have highlighted his beatmaking style.

Collaborations such as Warzone featuring Ice Crimi, Win or Lose featuring Imam T.H.U.G. and Money with Lex Lakaiser have also strengthened his profile within contemporary underground Hip Hop. More recent releases include Back To Basics (Mixtape Addict) featuring Faf Larage, Napoleon Da Legend, Relo and DJ Djel, Bills (Remix) featuring Khujo Goodie, Laser Rouge featuring Omaz and Joe Mack, and The Movement featuring ISH-ONE.

Continuing his international approach, he followed these with Legacy alongside Dnzl Izm and Northwest Flow with Seattle emcee King Khazm. Mixtape Addict connects DJ King Flow’s Boom Bap roots, interview platform and production activity with the global underground scene he has supported for years.

Interview Guest: Hatch Wiseguy.

This edition of Mixtape Addict features Hatch Wiseguy, a Hip Hop artist connected to Detroit, Michigan. His work sits within the independent rap scene, with a catalogue shaped by direct lyricism, street-level perspective and collaborations across the underground network.

Hatch Wiseguy’s recent releases include Dirt & Diamonds, Ill Dawgy, Nowa Days, Yikes, Snakes and Abundance. His catalogue also includes It’s Not Okay featuring KXNG Crooked, Leap Frog featuring Marv Won and We Outside with Bizarre.

Those collaborations place him alongside respected voices from the wider Hip Hop underground. His music connects contemporary independent rap with a direct approach to writing, delivery and release culture.

DJ King Flow presents episode 106 of Mixtape Addict on Scientific Sound Asia, featuring Hatch Wiseguy in conversation and across the tracklist. The episode focuses on Underground Hip Hop, Boom Bap, East Coast Hip Hop and Rap Music.

Hatch Wiseguy opens the episode alongside 38 Spesh on Yikes, setting the programme inside a street-focused underground rap frame. He follows with Ill Dawgy featuring DJ Los, before linking with KXNG Crooked and Ant G on It's Not Okay.

Shabaam Sahdeeq and The Bad Seed bring a Boom Bap direction with Show And Prove, adding a classic New York-rooted sound to the early section. Obleak, Yotto Beatz, Lord Goat and DJ Grusm then move the mix back underground with Concrete Slippers.

Dark Lo and V Don add a darker East Coast Hip Hop entry with 540 Months, before French-language Rap Music appears through Perso’s Quelques Grammes. Obleak and Yotto Beatz return with Novatore and DJ Grusm on Chi Town Classics, keeping the selection focused on independent lyricism and raw production.

Fat Joe, Jadakiss and Stove God Cooks bring a high-profile East Coast moment with The Aroma, followed by Ol' Kainry’s CKO Freestyle. Vado then adds Enemies, keeping the middle section rooted in New York rap before Madman Rodney Sage and REKS return with The Plot.

Black Silver links with Too Short and Ice-T on Out There, widening the episode’s regional references through a West Coast-connected remix. Busta Flex, Billy Bats, Kamnouze, Jeff Le Nerf, Smoker and Le Chiller follow with Fuck You Pay Me, bringing a harder French-language rap section into the show.

Nino Man’s Minks In Harlem adds a diss-track entry tied to 38 Spesh, keeping the later section direct and confrontational. Obleak and Yotto Beatz then close the music section with Illa Ghee and Tone Spliff on Boombox Soldiers, before DJ King Flow finishes the episode with an interview with Hatch Wiseguy.

DJ King Flow welcomed Detroit rapper Hatch Wiseguy to Mixtape Addict, opening a conversation that covered his influences, battle-rap background and experiences in the music industry. Hatch thanked King Flow for regularly supporting his releases and explained that preserving the standards of Hip Hop remains central to his work.

Asked to name his favourite DJ, Hatch selected DJ Premier, praising both his production and his ability to incorporate scratching into records. He identified Royce da 5’9”’s Boom as a personal favourite, noting that Royce’s work carried particular significance during his upbringing in Detroit.

Hatch explained that Detroit’s lyrical standards were shaped by artists such as Royce da 5’9” and Eminem, placing considerable pressure on younger MCs to develop strong writing and delivery. His own background in street battles and organised competitions taught him that technical ability, rhyme construction and preparation were essential parts of earning respect.

The conversation also addressed the traditional mixtape era, which Hatch remembered through physical releases, industry instrumentals and the competitive periods associated with G-Unit and Dipset. He credited Lil Wayne with retaining elements of that format by recording over current beats while balancing lyrical ability with mainstream success.

Discussing modern battle rap, Hatch argued that the form remains relevant despite changes in its commercial position and the wider entertainment business. He pointed to active leagues, well-attended events and the renewed use of beats as evidence that battling still holds an important place within Hip Hop culture.

Hatch then recalled how his own battle career developed from school and street contests into a management agreement in Florida. After impressing Jadakiss during an unexpected performance at a radio station, footage of the encounter circulated online and helped secure an opportunity on BET’s Freestyle Friday, where Hatch became a returning champion and reached the finals.

His earliest connection with Hip Hop came through hearing Onyx’s Slam on the radio when he was a young child. The record immediately caught his attention, and a recent Instagram interaction with Fredro Starr gave him a meaningful link to the group that first inspired his interest in rap.

King Flow and Hatch also discussed his collaboration with KXNG Crooked, It’s Not Okay, which Hatch described as an important record from his Dirt and Diamonds album. He felt the verses, production, chorus and video worked together effectively, while his respect for Crooked’s catalogue made the collaboration especially significant.

When asked about longevity, Hatch said that a lasting career requires genuine passion because music can involve years of work without recognition or financial reward. He recalled considering leaving rap before unexpectedly discovering that one of his songs had been used by a dance crew on a major television programme in front of Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo, an experience that renewed his motivation.

For younger artists, Hatch stressed the importance of studying the changing music business and learning practical skills beyond writing and performing. Recording, mixing, production, video work and financial discipline can all help an artist operate independently, particularly when nearly every stage of releasing and promoting music requires investment.

He also warned that talent does not automatically create commercial value, explaining that a technically stronger rapper may still struggle beside an artist who can sell tickets and build an audience. Understanding promotion, relationships, income and the business behind the music is therefore as important as developing artistic ability.

Looking ahead, Hatch revealed that he has recorded a large amount of new material and is deciding how to divide it between singles, EPs and a follow-up to Dirt and Diamonds. Recent releases include Ill Dawgy, Yikes with 38 Spesh and It’s Not Okay with KXNG Crooked, while a larger project and further collaborations are being prepared.

Hatch closed by thanking the listeners who have supported his career and credited them with helping him remain active through difficult periods. He also thanked DJ King Flow and Mixtape Addict for supporting independent artists and providing a platform through which their work can reach new audiences.

The live broadcast is scheduled for Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026, from 8 to 10 PM Indochina Time (ICT), with a replay set for Saturday from 8 to 10 AM (ICT).
