Then we have a full hour with Bridget Kelly, the first ever signee to Jay Z's Roc Nation label. She discusses her start singing on subway platforms, working in studio with Frank Ocean, and why she didn't go to her high school reunion.

This week we have a special double episode of A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal! First, MMG's Gunplay came through the apartment for some sea bass and an absolutely insane trip through life in Miami, his friendship with Rick Ross, and how ridiculous his hair has become. He talks about the Meek Mill and Drake situation, his extremely thorough drug use, and most importantly: the fact that he has more teeth than the average human. We also welcomed the Migos to the Upper West Side this week, and spoke with them about how Gucci puts out so much music, traveling through Russia, and of course, Quavo and Takeoff spit their favorite ad-libs.
