With the recent arrests of Migos and Nelly while on the road, Peter, Dharmic, and recurring guest Brandon "Jinx" Jenkins (of Complex TV) talked about the risks associated with "touring while black" and what it means to be surrounded by the right people. We also went back-and-forth on the important issue of whether or not rappers should rap when they're on the air.

Emily Oberg joined us and we talked about some current events, the state of music (in light of this month's new releases), and television, among other things. We also took some phone calls, including one from a young man who has been asking Emily to prom for the last two months.

Last night we were joined by Jacob Moore and Katie Kelly of Pigeons and Planes. We looked ahead to some of music releases slated to drop over the next few weeks, especially Young Thug's controversial Carter 6 drop. We also discussed homosexuality in hip-hop in the wake of a recent article that profiled the issue using Thug and Makonnen as examples. And of course, we talked about how we find the music that we select, both on P&P and NW3RADIO.

With Action Bronson's "Mr. Wonderful" in stores now and doing well commercially, we decided to discuss the topic of white rappers and what it means to be a white rapper in 2015. We were joined in the conversation by Dan Isenberg (aka Stan Ipcus) and Dana Arbib of A Peace Treaty. We talked about what it means to be a white rapper and how YouTube and social media has opened doors that were previously closed off to rappers who might not have fit stereotypical molds. We also named as many white rappers as we could (and apologies to all those we missed).

With Dharmic back in Boston, Peter was joined by Mishka's Fubz and personality Anthony Hull. The three talked about the evolution of fashion and streetwear, Kendrick Lamar's album and rap media, and the time Dharmic stole a coach purse for a girl in high school.

This Wednesday we were joined by hip-hop renaissance man J-Zone. We got him to talk about how he's stayed ahead of the industry by diversifying his portfolio by being everything from a journalist to sound-tracking documentaries (and the occasional porn flick). We also asked him to weigh in on the jury verdict regarding the copyright infringement case on Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines." And that's just a couple of things we discussed.

For the one year anniversary of NW3Radio, we were joined by Alex Wiley (one hour before he performed at SOBs), Angelo Baque, the Brand Director for the legendary Supreme clothing brand, and Bay Area's Iamsu!. We talked about Chicago, the Bay Area, the generation gap in New York City's scene, creativity, and what it means to be a rapper (especially in regards to freestyling). Plus, Iamsu! dropped a few bars for the people. More to come as NW3Radio enters year number 2!

Shomi Patwary, Brandon "Jinx" Jenkins, and Emily Oberg joined us on NW3RADIO. Jinx and Shomi talked about their recent trips to Detroit (Jinx hanging out with Big Sean and Shomi shooting for PRhyme). Shomi also brought up the time Drake reached out to him on Myspace to become his manager, and why Soulja Boy prevented the creation of a "We Made It" video. We also talked about traveling and dealing with border security. Peter has been detained at a Canadian border, but nothing can top DJ Eclipse's horror stories of traveling in Europe.
