And You Know It

Shadwick and Brey Polo are back and they’re not holding back. This week, the guys dive deep into J. Cole’s latest album and break down whether it lived up to the hype. They also weigh in on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance — was it everything it was cracked up to be?
From there, the conversation gets real as Shadwick and Brey ask the question on every hip hop fan’s mind: where is the new sound? The culture is shifting, but where exactly is it heading?
The guys take it back to the golden era with their Top 8 albums of 2001, then get into the mysterious 2016 Theory and what it means for music today. Bar-for-bar, they break down one of the coldest debates in rap — Fabolous vs. Lloyd Banks — and then settle in for a classic East vs. South standoff as they revisit T.I. vs. 50 Cent.
Things get candid when the guys open up about Tourette’s and the N-word, a conversation that’s honest, personal, and necessary. Then they shift to Hollywood to debate who should win Best Picture at the Oscars — and who actually will.
And to close it out, the guys keep it a buck: Baby Keem’s album just didn’t hit the way it should have.

Shadwick is back. 🎙️

For the first time this year, Shadwick returns to the mic on the And You Know It Podcast with a no-warm-up, straight-to-it episode. He breaks down ICE enforcement activity in Minnesota, the real-world impact it’s having on communities, and calls out the hateful rhetoric coming from the women of MAGA—unfiltered, unapologetic, and very much on brand for the show.

Then—because longtime listeners know nothing stays linear—we hop in the way-back machine to revisit a chaotic, fan-favorite era when the show took live calls. Nostalgia, surprises, and a reminder of just how wild those episodes used to get.

It’s a return, a reckoning, and a little bit of history all in one.
