Welcome to the first episode of Hip Hop Wales Cymru Podcast. This episode, Cardiff based DJ and producer, Jason "Jaffa" Farrell is our first honorary guest, joining us to discuss his unique journey and enduring career. Known for rocking jams during hip hop's earliest development, Jaffa leveraged his success as a local staple into a permanent position as one of Wales' most recognised DJ's today.

From recording with Jive Records as one half of Just The Duce, to attempting the world record for the longest continuous DJ marathon, to hosting a bi-weekly radio show, This That & The Third, Jaffa has remained a consistent force in hip hop for almost four decades.
