Ep 116

This week on The Stem Society, Cole Jackson breaks down two major stories in hip hop.

First, Drake’s lawsuit against UMG takes a new turn as CEO Lucian Grainge responds directly, calling Drake’s claims “ridiculous” and pushing back against his legal strategy. Cole gives his take on how far Drake’s team is going and whether it’s helping or hurting his case.

Then, Lil Yachty faces backlash after dropping a George Floyd punchline on livestream. Stephen Jackson responds, and we’ve got Yachty’s apology before the news cycle catches it.

Honest hip hop commentary, culture talk, and the stories shaping the music we love.
