Episode 143 features none other than the founder of ICN (Indie Creative Network - icn.dj) Wize Grazette (@TheRealWize). We talk with him about founding this Digital Media Platform for people of color and producing podcasts and what makes a good podcast.

We also talk about the triple single release provided by Rae Sremmurd, SZA hating her CTRL album, Future's new stray release, and we examine the recent success of Kodak Black, Youngboy Never Broke Again, and Tekashi69 and judge whether the art should be judged as problematic if the art they create is.

Episode 142 takes a break from music, and we sit down and catch up about how we feel about this third season of 2BELTZ thus far. We also go down a long laundry list of things we hate which may or may not include: Old people, oranges, Rollercoasters, McDonalds, White children, Internet personas, and more.

Find out how not to piss us off, this week on 2BELTZ.

Episode 141 and we welcome our bredren all the way from Jamaica, Queens -- Wordsmiff (@_Wordsmiff_)

Through this podcast we talk about his influences in rapping, style of rapping, and how he got to the place he is now. We also talk the major couple of weeks for Drake and Kendrick Lamar and how subtley their stories are intersecting in a very interesting way in 2018. In addition, we speak heavily on the impact of the Black Panther movie (SPOILER FREE) and why it's so necessary in these times we live in now.

We talk about the contributions of Nipsey Hussle with his Victory Lap album, our favorite West Coast artists, what PartyNextDoor needs to do to take the next step, and a whole lot more.

The music talk will return next week, but Episode 140 takes a break from all the hyper-masculine stunt talk and talks about love and Valentine's Day.

On our Valentine's Day special features Dating In NYC's own @LifeWithJRDN (Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/jourdan-ash) and DJ extraordinaire @ALTernateEars (Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/alternate-ears) to talk about our most memorable day Valentine's Day experiences, what constitutes as overkill, why it's important not to plan too much, and the difference between Valentine's Day for men and women.

Episode 139 features one of our oldest friends and a longtime supporter, Brandon @SNGDNC Mellette, who let's us in to what he's been doing these days including starring in Appropriate Culture, FREEDOM, & more. We even recall a story about a time he auditioned for Hamilton.

In addition to talking about the GRAMMYs, we go heavily into the latest major release of the week brought to you by the Man of the Woods himself, Justin Timberlake. Is it good? Is it bad? Does it have redeeming moments? Where did it all go left for Justin Timberlake? We answer it all.

This episode is one hour and nine minutes long, and it's still shorter than Culture II.

Episode 137 and we're exploring the sub genre of rap known as Gay Parody.

We talk about advances in technology and why Carlos is roughly opposed to all of them, Justin Timberlake trying a bit too hard, Migos's Culture II, and why it's so important for black people to win at the GRAMMYs next Sunday.

Also, we've been backed up on music to review and we get through all of it on this episode from Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho to Camila to P2 to Bartier Cardi & more.

Episode 136 may be one of our most entertaining yet, as this week we have the full trio known as The 4CAST, featuring Rob (@uglynewyork), Nelson (@noslenisnelson) & Steve (@Sneezing Steve) as we play our own version of 21 Questions.

Submitted by each one of us (somewhat discreetly), we answered 21 random questions on the podcast which include secret talents, porn search bars, alternate universe hypothetical scenarios, Pokemon Cards, a million dollars, and time travel -- among a few. One of our best episodes yet.
