Happy Halloween!! We would like to welcome you to a very special episode of 808s & Cold Takes, in which many drinks will be had and many stupid things will be said. Alongside us today are special recurring guests, Maxito and Kadreau of S.A.M.N X. 

Join us as we discuss all the diabolical things we would do for money, the life changing duality of "bros before h**s", eliminating certain bad individuals from history, and our very many pointless & stupid hip hop convos. 

Check out Maxito's work!
