This week's episode is kicked off with John introducing his new nickname, Johnny Gems, which gets things hyped right from the jump. We are also joined by our cousin ANR Abe, so with four minds on the mics, banter was at an all time high. The first order of business was a review of EarthGang's much anticipated album 'GHETTO GODS' which got generally great reviews from our team. This was followed by trying to get to the bottom of what makes an artist a superstar, after Joe Budden's recent comments about Megan Thee Stallion. This was followed by us trying to figure out the answer to the question 'is the race for content messing the game up?' which we're not sure if we even got to the answer y'all are going to be looking for.

This week's episode of DTTB is another exclusive interview with up and coming Nigerian born, Ottawa rapper Banggz. This is an exciting one as we believe this is one artist you need to keep your eye on. You can even catch John fan-girling during the interview at times. Throughout the course of the interview we cover aspects of his life such as working in a collective and maintaining creative friendships to help your career. 

We also talk about his growing knowledge of the need for social media, his upcoming project that he's not going to call an album but we can, as well as what he and his friends, otherwise known as Twelve07.

This weeks episode of Down to the Beat is kicked off with a conversation about how much money is a reasonable amount to spend on a paper towel holder for your home after an off camera conversation about furniture trickles into the recording. From there we move into a review and discussion about Saba's new album, 'Few Good Things' which John had incredibly high praise for, even deeming it album of the year so far as he writes this and regrets not saying that on the podcast now. 

At about the halfway mark the episode focuses on Adele's cancelled residency in Las Vegas and how a new impersonator of the British superstar is the hottest new act at an impersonators show. We then roast impersonators. To cap the episode off we briefly talk about a set of brothers from South Africa who pulled a virtual heist of $3.8 billion in Bitcoin, only to never be seen again.
