This week, we ponder the responsibilities of artists to live up to the political positions they put out publicly, following Stormzy’s decision to revisit the backlash surrounding his deal with McDonald’s last year and the criticism he got for deleting pro-Palestine posts on his social media.

We talk about the phenomenon of streamers like Adin Ross and Kai Cenat and how hip-hop has made problematic streamers comfortable. Later we go down memory lane and talk about our favourite vixens. There’s J. Cole anticipation, Peter and Moe lay down a CHALLENGE to each other, and more!
