This week, singer-songwriter MariahTheScientist pulls up to battle it out with our hosts, Waka and Desi. Mariah talks about her unappreciative ex who jump-started her music career, what mood she needs to be in to write music, and why she’s longer going on tour with rappers. Cards are flying, Desi is trying to freestyle, and Waka might get beat up… Experiences you only get at the spades table! Can MariahTheScientist sing her way out of this competition, or will Waka and Desi send her and her “evil girls” running back home? Lock in and find out!
