3 For A Dolla Podcast

Gobe, Gi (Raval Lavar), and Brytnie Devon discuss ComplexCon, including the background/history, exhibits, artist appearances, and performances.

This week, 3 for a Dolla collab with The Brother Guys Podcast (@TheBrotherGuys) for a special cross-over episode ft. J.Manly and Malcolm Is Important. First we get to discussing the album reviews for "K.R.I.T. IZ HERE" x Big K.R.I.T. and "Angel's Pulse" x Blood Orange. The conversation leads into various directions, including substance over what's "the bull s***!" And It wouldn't be right if we didn't discuss Drake and J.Cole. As Gobe takes the lead of this weeks episode, we are missing Brytnie Devon and Raval Lavar (Gi). But as always, give us your 3 cents!

Gobe, Gi (Raval Lavar), and Brytnie Devon return to review "Revenge of the Dreamers III" x J. Cole, "ERYS" x Jaden, and "Perfect Ten" x Mustard. Which album was your favorite? The conversation transitions into a discussion about the work and impact in the community that Jaden is doing. Is he doing more in the community than any other artist? We also discuss the current top 3 rappers of all time. Does Cole still hold a spot or can he be replaced? Are his verses mid? If he's not in your current top 3 rappers, who is? As always, give us your two cents.

Gobe, Gi (Raval Lavar), and Brytnie Devon open by discussing tone-deaf "jokes" and the effects of social media. Are they just jokes or are they tasteless? Do we pick and choose which jokes to be mad at and which jokes to join in on the laughter? The conversation moves to review "Case Study" x Daniel Caesar, "Bandana" x Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, and "Indigo" x Chris Brown. Is "Indigo" too long? What is Chris Brown's best album? Do you like Chris Brown's slow R&B songs more than his upbeat songs? We transition into a surprising conversation questioning, who is the best musician of Chris Brown's generation? Is it Trey Songz? The-Dream? As always, give us your two cents!

3 for a Dolla return with a guest, Steven Russell (@pitchforpennies and @laripatidotcom). We begin by recapping the one year anniversary of Lari Pati (Haitian for "street party"), a party created for and created by the people of Indianapolis. What has been the biggest changes from Day 1 of Lari Pati to now? We transition into our album reviews of "Wayy 2 Kritical" x K Camp, "The Life of Pi'erre 4" x Pi'erre Bourne, and "7 EP" x Lil Nas X. We also share our thoughts on Nicki Minaj's new single "Megatron". Is Nicki Minaj in a league of her own? XXL recently released their 2019 Freshmen Class and we discuss the 11 lucky artists in detail and reminisce on our favorite or not-so-favorite freshmen class to date. To wrap the conversation up, we discuss the Indianapolis Renaissance, a road map to supporting and participating in the Renaissance, written by Steven. As always, give us your two cents!
