On our final roundtable of Season Nine we're joined by TDE's own Reason — on the verge of releasing his sophomore studio album “Porches," out everywhere on August 11th. We talk to Reason about the journey to releasing this record, the pressures of being a part of such an iconic and influential record label, and what it means to be a true writer and storyteller in music today. Reason introduces & plays snippets of two unreleased songs from the record — in addition we play standout songs from rising artists Pote Baby, Saekyi, and Junii.

01 "Mirages!" by Reason ft. Flozigg

02 "Do It 4 Pappy" by Pote Baby 

03 "Sedentary" by Sækyi

04 "Bike Club" by Junii

05 "Porch Steps!" by Reason ft. Dirty Dell & Junii
