Who doesn’t love watching the world's best compete? Or that is what we thought at least. With the Euro 2020 having taken place, it brought out some amazing moments, From Ronaldo removing coke to the ‘It’s coming Rome’ phrase. Sadly at the epitome of it all, the last thing the Euro 2020 will be remembered by is the racism that ensued. Tune in as we break it all down on Drinks On Us.

Let’s face it, who doesn’t love Pop Smoke. With certified bangers from Aim for the Moon to The Woo, Pop made everyone fall in love with his unique heavy New York drill inspired music. In 2021, the news of ‘Faith’ a new Pop Smoke album was released but is it really the Pop Smoke we all love and know? All this and more on Before the Beat!

After the release of Dissimulation in 2020, KSI returns to the scene with his much anticipated album: All Over The Place. Although it’s said to be a step up, can it really live up to the stardom that Mr. Knowledge has made for himself? All this and more on Before the Beat!

A long-awaited episode is finally a reality! In 2020 our good mate Harshad started up his own business Pristine Detailers and seeing its growth made us wonder how it all started. Since then, we have been waiting to get our brother on. From inspiration to resilience, this one is a must listen.

Back with the first episode of our series release radar! Without a doubt this week has had some amazing releases including some that nobody was expecting. From Wasting time to thoughts on Logic coming back into the music scene. Mad tings.

To put routine and our Podcast together in the same sentence seems a bit far-fetched, but this time Drinks On Us is back and staying for good. The reason is exactly the topic of conversation where we dive into the future of the podcast and go into what's been helping us try and keep on track to self-development.
