Happy Black History Month!

On this episode of 808’s & Convo, the culture is loud and nobody’s biting their tongue. We kick things off with Fivio Foreign sounding off on 21 Savage’s “Fuck The Streets” movement during his appearance on DJ Akademiks’ Off The Record. Is Fivio pushing back on performative messaging, or is this another clash between street codes and industry optics?

Speaking of optics, 50 Cent reminds everyone why he’s still the undisputed King Troll, posting footage of Jim Jones locked out of his own content studio. Petty or poetic justice? We break down why 50 never misses a chance to press buttons—and why it keeps working.

Things get tense as DJ Akademiks finds himself in a discrepancy with Lil Baby after Akademiks alleges he was assaulted by a member of Baby’s entourage. We unpack what’s being said, what’s not, and how these situations spiral once egos collide.

Then we give overdue flowers to Philadelphia legend Eve, who finally received a Grammy for her contribution to The Roots’ “You Got Me”… 27 years after being left uncredited. A win for hip-hop history, but also a reminder of how often women’s contributions get minimized.

To close it out, we dive into album reviews:

• 42 Dugg – Part 3

• J. Cole – Birthday Blizzard ‘26

Real conversations. No industry favors. Just the culture as it is. 🎙️🔥
