This week, Desmond finally gives his take on the recent Kendrick Lamar vs. J. Cole battle and how he believes J. Cole's controversial decision to fall back was bigger than Hip-Hop. Additionally, Dez talks about the use of AI in Rap/Hip-Hop after hearing Drake's "Taylor Made Freestyle" and shares some brief, updated thoughts on the NBA's first round Playoff matchups (*for games played before 4/28*). 

Enjoy and share your thoughts! Thanks for your support! - Dez
