The Transition

2020 is finally over!!! But before we all say goodbye (and good riddance) to one of the worst years in human history, why not take a trip down memory lane? Why not sit back and marvel at how terrible this year was?

And even better, you don’t have to do it alone! In this episode Alex and Dimetri discuss all the craziness of the year, and what’s coming next....

Enjoy!

A re-do! The file for the first iteration of this episode...didn’t make it. But! We decided to run it back one more time. And it may be even better than the first time!

We dive into Jack Harlow, Kid CUDI, and hip-hop as a whole...A classic episode of The Transition.

Enjoy!

We finally have another guest! It only took us about another 30-ish episodes!

But other than our special guest we have our classic music segment and general discussion.  Pretty long episode this time, but for good reason!

Enjoy the show!

2 new albums...and 2 disappointments. But we cover them anyway! But aside from the projects, we get into some overrated and underrated artists. An interesting discussion to say the least.

And then on the second half, “trials by fire”. What does it mean to go through something and come out the other side? How are tough situations overcome at all? 

Plus a what-if scenario! What if you were fired from your job today, what would you do?

Enjoy the show!

Better late than never right! The Transition Ep. 34 is finally here.

We promised a good episode and I must say we delivered. We talked about A LOT. We probably could’ve split this into two, but we were just in such a good flow!

We start of with a super quick music segment, and then transition into the more serious topics (we love to end on a serious note).

(Also if you’re curious about some of the things we discussed check out the article below, a ton of our points came from that.)

Enjoy the show!

33 episodes of The Transition...aren’t you glad we started doing this again!?

Ok enough gloating. On this week’s episode we dive into some controversy, music and non-music.

On the first half, the BET Awards! Who won what, who got snubbed, and do they even matter??? On the second half, policing...how does it change and how can it evolve to meet the needs of today?

We like to challenge ourselves to find solutions and this episode was a great one for that...

Enjoy the show!

We're back! (Even though we never left)

And on this week’s episode of The Transition, we discuss MONEY! Who doesn’t love money right? But specifically, we talk about it’s influence in rap and hip-hop: How it promotes insecurity, the messages it sends to listeners, etc.

And in the second half, we detail our personal journeys with money. And how that journey is constantly evolving…

(Also! We had some mic issues on this one so not the crispiest sounding episode of the show but we hope you still enjoy it!)

You’re in for another hour of fun-filled conversation with episode 31 of The Transition! Why you ask? Because of the dope mix of topics of course!

Everything from PND's new project, to how live orchestras and instrumentation can make rap more interesting, and we even talk about Ice Cube. Who doesn’t like Ice Cube right!

Enjoy the show!

Two album reviews, a quick political discussion, and some mental health talk?! That’s a good episode of The Transition to me.

We hope the takes, and discussion from this one entertain you but also, and more importantly, we hope they help you all get through whatever tough situation(s) you may be facing....

STAY STRONG!
