After a month away, Miss Lou and Mr Drew are back to talk their sh***…and there’s a lot to get into.

There are tributes for fallen soldiers Ty, Little Richard and Andre Harrell and there's a look back at the wonderful #Verzuz experience that was Jill Scott vs Erykah Badu. Finally there’s time to discuss why Tom Hanks family has got beef with the Instagram record breaker that is Tekashi 69.

Remember...Stay alert!…Whatever that means.

And while you're at it, get involved in Mr Drew’s Facebook Live Quarantine sessions - Search for ‘DJMrDrewUK’ from 2pm on Sundays.

There’s only one place to start this week - the Saturday night IG Live clash that never was between Babyface and Teddy Riley!

It’s a night that will go down in ‘black Twitter’ history…and Mr Drew and Miss Lou deliver their emphatic verdict ahead of the rematch.

Also this week (25mins in), there’s a Music To Our Ears exclusive - our first celebrity guests!  
OVO singer-producer duo, DVSN have their say on who the current king of R&B is - Miss Lou isn’t happy with the answer. And as DVSN’s boss Drake celebrates his latest chart-topping hit, the guys choose their favourite black music dance crazes.

And we’re back!…Three weeks since the last pod, the world is a very different place! 

Lou and Drew reflect on how the urban music scene has responded to the COVID-19 crisis…including pervy behaviour from Tory Lanez, the explosion of the Facebook Live DJ craze, album releases and artist Instagram battles. The pair relive the songwriter clash between Johnta Austin and Ne-Yo. And on the 10th anniversary of the Raymond vs Raymond album, we review the entire CD from start to finish and ask whether it was as bad we recall.

Remember...Stay at home…and while you're at it get involved in Mr Drew’s Facebook Live Quarantine sessions - Search for ‘DJ Mr Drew’ from 2pm on Sundays.

We’ve skipped a week to ensure a show packed to the brim with Valentine’s week goodness.

Drew and Lou count down the perfect R&B anthems to complement your February 14th scenario - whether you want to sweet up the love of your life, keep things ticking over with a secret lover or you need the ideal record to express your heartbreak. 

And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve also taken part in the Kimye quiz and we’re having our say on whether Diddy is in fact a thieving money-grabbing son-of-a-gun...or if Ma$e is just bitter and broke...

Drew and Lou discuss the big winners of the 62 Grammys, which took place in LA against the sad backdrop Kobe Bryant’s passing. They look back on Diddy’s lengthy pre-Grammy speech from the previous night in which he criticised the awards institution. 

There’s also a discussion on the rising popularity of prescription drugs in rap music…just why the hell are so many rappers hooked on drugs like xanax?

Finally we acknowledge the toxic relationships that produced brilliant music from Ike and Tina to Biggie and Faith…

Recorded at 1:30 in the morning,  @MissLou and @MistaDrew are slightly cranky as they consider the relevance of controversial chart-topper Eminem and muse over K Michelle’s recent comments on R&B. Plus there’s a look back at their favourite LPs from 2000 - an absolutely golden year for urban music!
