  • #FOOTAGES (Joe Budden, Nicki vs Cardi, My Ye is Different, The Guardian)
    Welcome back to Don’t Alert The Stans!
    For the umpteenth time, Nicki Minaj makes a record-breaking entry into the news agenda as the boys dissect the latest chapter in her feud with Cardi B(48:16). Elsewhere, Eden, Sope and Nicolas evaluate whether Joe Budden is a misogynist and if his aggressive debate with Scottie Beam on State of the Culture deserves reprimand (1:14:30).Veering into UK terrain, the boys comment on the polarising article published by The Guardian regarding afro-swing’s transition into the mainstream. The controversy invoked by the headline promoting political blackness is also put under the microscope (1:27:01). Lastly, the boys reflect on the industry’s growing penchant to put money and resources behind ‘comedy’ and ‘viral’ acts in the wake of Loz’s ‘Shaku on the Beat’ and Osh This Side’s ‘My Ye is Different’(2:00:10).

  • CARAMEL TEARS ft Kadeem Tyrell (Spice + Colourism, XXXtentacion + Pitchfork & More)
    Welcome back to Don’t Alert The Stans!
    For this week’s episode, Eden, Sope and Nicolas are joined by Kadeem Tyrell. A rising R&B singer-songwriter from who released his debut EP ‘Feels’ earlier this year. Thus far, garnering acclaim from Ghetts, Monte Booker and Krept and Konan while amassing over 100k streams. He joins the boys to discuss his journey in the industry to date, what templates he’s taken from Brandy and Aaliyah and why Britain has such a fickle history with R&B music. Elsewhere, much to Nicolas’ chagrin, the guys discuss the latest chapter in Nicki Minaj’s disastrous 2018; being sued by Tracy Chapman. Eden leads an impassioned discussion on the cognitive dissonance surrounding XXXTentacion and his abusive history. Lastly, the boys break down the heavily prevalent culture of intra-racism and colourism in the black diaspora in response to Spice’s controversial ‘Black Hyporcrisy’ stunt.

  • THE GLOVES ARE OFF (Remy MA SOTC, UK Rap Beef, Kanye West + Uganda)
    Welcome back to Don’t Alert The Stans!
    For this week’s episode, Eden, Sope and Nicolas attempt to make sense of Remy Ma’s inflammatory comments surrounding who has rights to the N-word. They dissect the origins of Wiley’s grievances with Skepta and Dizzee Rascal after his rant on Instagram. Once again, the boys are forced to discuss Kanye West as they cover the controversy attached to his trip to Uganda with the polarising Yes Julz. Spurring into a conversation about who we let into the “culture” and whether there should be barriers to entry. The good times with Kanye continue to roll as the boys evaluate Pusha T’s revelation that Drake’s right-hand man 40 provided him with the ammunition to callously come for him on record.
