  • Episode 106: "Words Speak Life" | Yanna G on Her New Album, Self-Discovery, and Personal Fulfillment
    Aug 22 2024

    We had a beautiful and uplifting conversation on this week's episode with Boston's own, Yanna G! We kicked off the conversation discussing her newly released album "On Everything I Love", how she prioritizes her mental health, and what has been her biggest obstacles as she traverses life as an artist and a young woman.

    We later reacted to Tyler the Creator's comments on certain artists taking up space in the music game, specifically those from outside the culture. We even shared our thoughts on Michael Rubin's comments about "Black on Black hate" and whether people should be able to speak on communities that they're not from. We ultimately ended the conversion on a high note, discussing the importance of seeking fulfillment in life and pouring into yourself & the people around you. Enjoy the episode!

  • Episode 105: "Off The Nitrous" | Kanye's Nitrous Addiction, Drake Drops 100 Gigs & Team USA Basketball
    Aug 14 2024

    We're back with a full house this week! We kicked off with Team USA basketball's legendary Olympics run, questioning why Jayson Tatum isn't playing and if LeBron has finally solidified his status as G.O.A.T. We revisited Vultures 2 after Johnny changes his stance on the album, and reacted to the allegations of Kanye being addicted to nitrous because of his manipulative dentist.

    After releasing 100 gigabytes worth of studio footage and 3 new tracks, we shared our takes on Drake's approach post-beef. We also reacted to Lil Yachty claiming he can write a better verse than Joe Budden, Kodak's interesting anti-drug message to the the youth, and Kamala Harris' handling of pro-Palestine protesters during her rally. Enjoy the episode!

  • Episode 104: "I No Black" | Lil Yachty Isn't Hip-Hop, Drake & PND Collab, Kamala Harris' Blackness
    Aug 6 2024

    It's been a controversial week, to say the least! We kicked off with Nate recapping his weekend with The Chamber taking over NYC and the Broccoli City Festival in D.C. In the past week, Lil Yachty stirred up waves with his latest comments on hip-hop (24:30) and leaking a song with Drake without getting permission from the artist they sampled (38:00). We discussed Drake teasing a collab album with PartyNextDoor (47:30), Kanye's unfinished Vultures 2 release (54:00), and Tory Lanez latest single that he recorded and released in prison (1:02:00).

    Kamala Harris' "Blackness" has also recently been questioned by her political opponent, Donald Trump (1:10:00). In an effort to clear up any confusion, we took it upon ourselves to create the "official" Blackness test (1:15:30). Who asked? Nobody. Should you take it seriously? Probably not, but we did it anyways for sh-ts and giggles. We also reacted to the transphobic attacks and gender controversy surrounding Imane Khelif's participation in the Olympics women's boxing (1:35:30), and the reveal of Robert Downey Jr. being casted as Dr. Doom in Marvel's upcoming movies (1:49:00). It's a jam-packed episode from start to finish and our man, Johnny Wav, is subbing in for Yves while he's on vacation. Enjoy the episode!
