Earlier this week (March 19th), UPROXX Studios introduced their new series ‘Sound Check with Jeremy Hecht.’ The weekly interview series will offer artists a platform to showcase their personal music taste and creative influences. Guests are presented with a simple yet revealing challenge across 12 rounds, each consisting of a choice between two well-researched tracks relevant to the guest’s life and career.

Sound Check’s secret sauce and key cog lies within its host Jeremy Hecht and his uncanny ability to go deeper, selecting songs that inspire both retrospection and introspection. He’s interviewed everyone from Ice Spice to Ice Cube, co-produced Wiz Khalifa’s ‘Still Rolling Papers’ documentary, and debated hip-hop’s hottest topics weekly on ‘The Bigger Picture’ alongside Elliott Wilson & DJ Hed.

“Music has the power to transport us back to moments in time, and that’s what makes Sound Check so special. This show gives artists a chance to reflect on their influences and share their personalities in a fun, relaxed way through the music they love,” said Jeremy. “You can learn so much about someone just by their taste in music, and I love that Sound Check uses that as the foundation for conversation. I’m grateful to bring this format to life with UPROXX and hope it helps fans connect with their favorite artists in a new way—maybe even discovering a new song or two along the way.”

Hecht kicked off the new endeavor by sitting down with chart-topping rapper DaBaby for the series premiere. Throughout the episode, the ‘Rockstar’ artist had to make some impossible choices between classics and deep cuts from Eminem/2Pac, Snoop/Future, TI/Jim Jones and more. It got so crazy for him that at one point he stated, “This is like taking the SAT!” Check out the full episode below!

G-Eazy, Big Sean and Rico Nasty are just a few of the names who will grace the show this season. Fans can catch new episodes of ‘Sound Check with Jeremy Hecht’ every Wednesday on UPROXX’s YouTube channel and social platforms.
