In this episode of ‘808’s & Convo’, Emo G kicks things off with a raw monologue on brotherhood; why it’s fractured, why loyalty feels rarer than ever, and why so many men can’t seem to hold the line anymore.

From there, we dive straight into the chaos swirling around the self-proclaimed R&B Princess—yes, Miss Pizza Hut herself—Summer Walker, who’s been all over the blogs announcing she wants to continue being Rich The Kids side chick while still engaged to Tori Brixx

We also break down the chatter around Burna Boy’s “No Signs of Weakness” Tour, which is reportedly showing some underwhelming attendance numbers. Add in his public outbursts, and fans are starting to question if the energy is slipping.

And to wrap things up? Ja Rule had an unexpected encounter in Brooklyn at Monica & Brandy’s “The Boy Is Mine” Tour, where he was ambushed by three men—yes, that Ja Rule. We talk about what happened and what it says about hip-hop & violence always sharing the same space.

On this episode of 808’s & Convo, Emo G & Tempa break down another week of wild headlines, unexpected updates, and freshly dropped albums shaking up the culture.

First, we dive into the terrifying situation involving 6ix9ine; a home invasion left his mother held at gunpoint while intruders ransacked the house, next, a small but significant update in the legal timeline of Fetty Wap. The “Trap Queen” artist is now expected to be released in December 2026, slightly earlier than the previously reported January 2027 date, Nicki Minaj was scheduled to speak at the United Nations & of course, the industry can’t go a week without some tension: Finesse2Tymes and Offset are officially in a back-and-forth. We dig into what might of sparked it, who said what, and whether this will fizzle out or flood the timeline with more smoke.

Album Reviews:

Summer Walker – Finally Over It

In this episode of 808’s & Convo Emo G & Tempa talk: Mario, the “How Do I Breathe?” crooner;  is back in the spotlight. But this time? Not for love ballads. We’re breaking down what’s going on, why he’s making news and how his situation could reshape his legacy.

Next, a big update on Wendy Williams health: after months of concern, top neurologists report no signs of frontotemporal dementia in her latest tests. We unpack the implications, the relief (or skepticism), and where she could go from here.

Then: a surprising turn for Drake. He shockingly pops up on a Canadian show called “The Office Movers, and people are loving it. Charming, funny, and oddly convincing… should he lean into his acting skills and step away from music? We debate whether his roots in film could be his next big move.

But of course, we’ve got to talk hip-hop heat too. Word on the street is that YG threw a subtle jab at Offset in the latest Red Bull Cypher alongside Mozzy & Jay Rock. We dissect the lyrics, the tension, and what this kind of diss track means in today’s rap chess game.

Album reviews include, new single from Cardi B with Jeezy & Latto “Errrtime (Snowmix) plus G Herbo’s “Lil Herb” project.

Opening Set List:
