@tbhpod @ebzworldpeace @dbcxptures 

After a short OVO birthday month hiatus, we're back just in time to discuss Ye's Drink Champs interview, Ed Sheeran addressing Wiley's 'culture vulture claims'. Eboni also changes her mind about J. Cole's AOTY ranking, and we speculate on when Kendrick Lamar is going to drop before 2022. Then we take some time to consider the role social conditioning played in the mass casualty that happened at Travis Scott's Astroworld festival.
