The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee.The Official R&B Fantasy Draft
Today on The Ave Podcast, we are launching a special podcast series, introducing the “Official R&B Fantasy Draft”. The Draft is based on a Snake-style format of the greatest R&B singers over the last 42 years, whether it be a soloist or from a group (careers must have started in 1980 with the exception of two artists – I’ll let you guess who). Over the course of the next six Fridays (including an “Honorable Mention” episode), each round will be released as we select these legendary artists into our own Supergroup, consisting of four artists & one producer/production team. You can select anyone from Whitney to Alicia Keys to Normani, It is up to you.
Starting today, this post will be updated as we will be releasing each Round of the podcast series. You can also go directly to the South Shore Ave YouTube Channel to watch each episode. As always, you will be able to listen to the series on ALL MAJOR PODCAST PLATFORMS (Click on the links below). Listen &/or watch, and also subscribe!
As a bonus for you Spotify listeners, the participants and I will be curating The R&B Fantasy Draft Playlist #SouthShoreAve as we share some of our favorite songs that our selection of singers and producers have ever created. This will also be updated every week starting from today, and every Saturday morning thereafter.

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 181:20th Anniversary of Stillmatic
On the latest edition of The Ave Podcast, we break down one of the greatest albums of the 21st Century (for the culture). On Dec. 18, 2001, in the midst of the middle of one of the biggest Hip Hop beefs ever, you know when they say, the Rose that grew from the concrete? Well, through the back & forth beef with Jay-Z, as well as beefing with Rocafella Records (Jay-Z’s record label), and the critics turning on him, Nas ended up creating the acclaimed Stillmatic, his 4th studio album. The album re-solidified Nas’ name as one of the true Kings of the genre, going on to sell over two million records based off the success. Among other accolades, it also achieved one of the highest honours bestowed on an Hip Hop artist’s work: It achieved the mythical 5 Mics status in The Source Magazine. I’m joined by Justis from Beats By Bruises, DJ/ProducerDJ Keo, and SSA Family Member Shawn Adonis, as we discuss how important this album was for Nas’ career; Takeover vs. Ether and what it meant for Hip Hop; share our Top 3 songs from the album; and much more.
The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 146:Fugees’ The Score @ 25
Today on The Ave Podcast, we’re calling on the spirits of Flashback Friday as we discuss one of the great albums in music history. Twenty-Five years tomorrow, The Fugees (comprised of Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, and Pras) released their second album on Ruffhouse/Columbia Records “The Score”. The album was released during the height of one of the most tumultuous periods in Hip Hop yesterday, but The Score went on to not only outsell every album in it’s genre, the impact was felt way beyond North America. With the group’s stunning mastery of their own style (which was Hip Hop-R&B-Caribbean influenced at minimum), the album went on to sell over 6 million copies in the USA alone, and over 20 million worldwide. However, the group members went their separate ways (almost chaotically) & never made another follow up album to their legendary masterpiece. I’m joined by DJ Chris Nice & DJ Keo as we discuss the legendary album; inquire if Lauryn was actually the greatest talent in the last 30 years; the Fugees downfall & if successful groups are designed to last; the power of Ego; plus we share our Top 3 songs; the importance of “Killing Me Softly” for the group, and how it forever changed their careers, and so much more.
