š ā 2025 NBA Finals: New Championsā [05/06/2025 - 22/06/2025]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren look to cap off one of the greatest regular seasons of all time and finally bring a championship to the Oklahoma City Thunder. But whoās standing in their way? Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, and the Indiana Pacers on the back of one the historic playoff runs in NBA history.

We take a stroll down the electric relaxation of one of the smoothest, smartest, and most beloved albums in the history of rap. Tribeās 3rd album caps off one of the great runs in the annals hip-hop.

š„ Today in Hip-Hop: Joey Bada$$ vs. The West [01/01/2025 - 22/05/2025]
The Brooklyn MC fires shots westward... and the West shall answer. We recap the 2025 JoeyBada$$ beef that dragged in Ray Vaugh, Daylyt, Reason, Ab Soul, and every other rapper trying to make a name for themselves. Who said what, when, and how? What started it?
