A journey through the roots and contemporary expressions of Hip Hop as a language of freedom, care and spirituality.
Produced by Soundroutes, and hosted by Mun and Masta Quba, Soundroutes Souls explores the places where Hip Hop is not just music, but a political and cultural tool for re-existence.
Hip Hop Freedom Community
Through interviews, sounds and reflections, Mun and Masta Quba guide listeners across themes of privilege and imprisonment, escape and spirituality — revealing how Hip Hop can become a space for emancipation, solidarity and collective awareness.
From underground Rome to Mexico, from Belgium to Greece, the podcast gives voice to artists, educators and activists who have found in Hip Hop a way to transform their experiences and build community.
The four episodes
1. The HH classes – Privileges & Opportunities
What does it mean to talk about privilege within a culture born from the underground? Mun reflects on how economic, social and geographic contexts shape access and participation.
2. The HH detention – Who judges and who sets free?
With Masta Quba, a dialogue about incarceration, discrimination and mental confinement. Hip Hop as a tool for liberation for those who live or have lived through detention.
3. The HH escape – Music & Movement for Better Days
Escape not as running away, but as searching for freedom through movement, dance and sound.
4. The HH e-motion – Soul, Love, Devotion
An episode that closes the circle, delving into the spiritual dimension of Hip Hop: care, community and devotion.
