In this episode, the pod sits down for the big one: the 2026 DQM Hip Hop Awards. We talk everything from the Newcomer of the Year to best album. Our producer Wolf steps from behind the camera to join the pod as we celebrate a huge milestone - the official toast to 3 years of Don’t Quote Me.

We chop it up about our favorite (and funniest) DQM moments, the viral clips that cleared 100k, and interview some familiar faces. From the Best Comment to the highly anticipated Moment of the Year, we’re handing out flowers and telling some legendary stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
