So much good music this week! (It’s like all the artists were saving it...) We talk about a new project from Chika, some new Brent Faiyaz and some old JID. We also do a little career retrospective on him over the past few years and where he could be going in the future...

And on the second half of the show we discuss Talent vs. Hard work. Which path are you on and what are the pitfalls of each?

Enjoy!

New music alert! And it’s actually good music (no offense to the other artists we’ve reviewed in 2021).

In the first half of the show we dive into ‘Scary Hours 2’ and ‘Unlocked 1.5’. Two projects that weren't on our radar, but both were great surprises!

But in the second half, we talk about our largest pandemic takeaways as well as toxic masculinity. Two great discussions, and two great halves to this episode!

Enjoy!

This may have been the most random episode we’ve ever done. I mean what didn’t we talk about in this episode? Quiznos, getting choked out on a subway, and Alex’s undying love for DRAM... 

But along with the randomness, we did have some good music discussions. We even walked back our opinion of Bryson Tiller...unbelievable I know. 

Enjoy!

You know I have to admit...this is one of those episodes where the second half is way better than the first half. As you’ll hear, the music we got this week was very...well bland. But don’t worry we spiced it up with some Chris brown hate!

But in the second half! We talk about our top 5 keys to life. 5 things we think everyone needs to live a fulfilling life...

Enjoy!

A movie soundtrack album and an existential discussion on chasing your dreams... Sounds like the makings of a good episode to me!

On this week’s episode, the guys discuss the soundtrack for the new HBO movie: Judas and the black messiah. (Spoiler alert it’s amazing)

And on the second half of the show they go into a pretty deep discussion on why chasing your dreams might be overrated...

You know, nothing hits the spot like a good 'ole fashioned rap debate. And more or less, that’s what we do on this episode! 

Eminem...Revered as an all-time great by most, and hated by others. On this episode we sit down and discuss our feelings on him as an artist, and what he brought to rap in the early 2000s! 

Enjoy!

The long awaited Wale episode...This has been in the making for around 3 years now. And on this week's episode it finally happens. We discuss Wale as an artist, both the good...and the bad. 

But on the second half of the show we have a pretty long discussion about self-awareness. And how pretending to be someone you’re not can over time lead to a life of dissatisfaction...

Enjoy the show!

Back for the 22nd consecutive week...if my quick math is correct!

And this week I think we have a classic episode; on the first half of the show we finally have our Rick Ross career retrospective. Diving into his music and where he sits as an all-time great. And on the second half of the show we discuss all parts of social media!

Enjoy!

Finally!

After being thrown off the music for weeks and weeks...We get back to it in this episode! Our 2020 music awards!...Not really.

More like we have a discussion on some of our favorite albums and artists of the year. But make sure you listen until the end so you can hear Alex and I completely destroy what we think was the worst album of the year....

Enjoy!

Tension and emotion finally reached a boiling point in the US this past week. And as a podcast that touches on socially relevant events, we thought it best to give this topic a full episode.

Enjoy!
