In the latest episode of Booked On Rock, I sit down with music journalist and author Steven Blush to explore the explosive moment when rock and hip-hop collided—and permanently altered the sound of popular music. Drawing from Blush’s book When Rock Met Hip-Hop, the conversation traces how two seemingly different worlds came together to challenge genres, cultures, and expectations.
From Run-DMC and Aerosmith’s era-defining “Walk This Way” to Anthrax and Public Enemy’s fearless “Bring the Noise,” this episode dives into the artists and collaborations that broke barriers and opened doors. Featuring stories about Blondie, Beastie Boys, Anthrax, and more, we examine how this crossover reshaped music history—and why its impact is still felt today. The episode is available now in both audio and video formats below:
