In the first episode of the new year, I spend some time detailing my plans for Hyphen Nation, review some newish music from Noveliss, Nas, and Drake & 21 Savage, go into a deep dive about Talib Kweli's debut solo album Quality from 2002, and bring it all home with a ringing endorsement of the phenomenal cinematic achievement that is Everything Everywhere All At Once!

Sorry I'm late, it was my birthday.

Music by No Name Tim.
