This episode is hosted by D. and Ken, with no guests. The guys talk a host of topics including West Coast hip-hop, particularly Tupac vs. Kendrick Lamar, the relationship between financial and mental health struggles, and the effects of personal trauma and the need for mental health help within the Black community, using personal childhood stories to illustrate. A very raw, honest episode and a welcome change of pace from most usual episodes.
