Armon, Will Foster, and Miss2Bees are back after some time apart. Miss2Bees debuts her new segment What’s Buzzing on These Streets, calling out Tory Lanez’s own appeal filings as an effective admission in the Megan Thee Stallion case and unpacking how legal journalism and misinformation are failing the culture (3:40), before the team revisits Omarion vs. Mario, live vocals, and early-2000s R&B egos (9:40). They then dive into “Rory-Gate,” resurfaced tweets, Twitter Spaces damage control, and what the saga reveals about anti-Blackness and how Black women are routinely targeted (16:38). Next, a deep breakdown of the 2026 GRAMMY nominations across Hip-Hop, R&B, Album and Song of the Year, touching Bad Bunny’s run, K-Pop Demon Hunters, Cardi B and Gunna snubs, Mariah the Scientist discourse, and how kids shape the charts (31:58). From there, the gang reviews new music—Cardi B, Latto & Jeezy’s “Everytime” remix and whether it should’ve been on the original album (55:19), Meek Mill’s Indie Pack Vol. 1 and his “Fourth of July” visual, hood PTSD, and AI chains (57:40), Summer Walker’s Finally Over It trilogy finale and where it ranks next to Over It and Still Over It (1:06:45), plus Wale’s everything is a lot., his immigrant-parent text thread, catalog, and longevity (1:13:28). In this week’s Board Meeting, Armon opens up about being laid off in the VIBE/Rolling Stone merger and uses that to examine media consolidation, Black writers and label staff being cut, DEI rollbacks, lazy A&R, AI artists, the death of discovery, and what a return to Black-run boutique systems could look like (1:22:25). Will then introduces his new discovery segment, spotlighting rising Southern-rooted artist Gabriel Jacoby and why his warm, live-instrument, Sunday-clean-the-house soul feels like the kind of music listeners can really connect to right now (1:50:16).
