For this week’s episode, the boys are joined by Tara Joshi who works as the music editor of gal-dem in addition to freelancing for The New York Times, VICE, The Quietus, The Observer New Review and more.

Last but not least, the legal woes currently facing Megan Thee Stallion are brought under the microscope.

Rounding up this week’s episode is an in-depth interview with Tara Joshi where she discusses her vision for gal-dem’s musical identity, the politics of being an esteemed authority on black music as a South Asian woman, why South Asian artists continue to have a stormy relationship with mainstream music representation and more.

February 25, 2020'A LOSS AND A BRIT' (Brit Awards x RIP Pop Smoke x Sneakbo vs Dot Rotten)
Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans!
For this week’s episode, Nic leads a tribute to slain rapper Pop Smoke who was murdered at the age of 20. With this being the latest in a flurry of deaths to take place this year, the boys reflect on his squandered potential. Looking at how he was bridging the gap between the drill scenes in the US and UK. Next up is an increasingly violent and intense beef that is brewing between two of the UK’s veteran MC’s Sneakbo and Dot Rotten. Eden calls out the people on social media following gossip platforms who are revelling in this as if it’s a form of entertainment. Is another Fyre Festival in our midst? The announcement of the Lovers & Friends Festival resulted in a lot of confusion as several of the acts on the bill claimed they weren’t set to perform. Rounding up the episode this week is the 2020 Brit Awards where each of the boys sound off on the winners/losers and performances. During this topic, a conversation surrounding black nepotism in regards to Mabel and Neneh Cherry is sparked where its debated if Mabel’s success aids in opening doors for more black artists in the UK.

Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans!

Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans!
After a lengthy hiatus allowing for rest over the Christmas and New Year period, Eden, Sope and Nic are back! Season 4 is finally here and with a jam-packed episode. Kicking off the news agenda this week is Kelis’ recent interview with The Guardian where she revealed that The Neptunes swindled her out of a huge cut of royalties on her first two albums. Harlem World rapper Mase follows suit as he exposes former boss Diddy for refusing to sell him back his masters. Speaking out against his hypocritical speech at a pre-Grammys event where he said the organisation needs to do better by black artists. This seamlessly leads unto a full scale breakdown of the 2020 Grammy Awards with Sope, Nic & Eden sounding off on this year’s winners, losers. Closing the episode out, each of the boys take the time to consider where they all personally stand with the Grammys as an institution in 2020 and how much they value do they still place on it.
