Will & Dec are joined by, none other than the Norfolk, VA Hip Hop legend - Phatz aka Sirius B! Not only has he been a staple and leader in the Hampton Roads Metro Hip Hop scene for 20+ years, he has also served his community for the same length of time as an educator, community organizer, husband + father, and direct leader for The Order of the Solar Flare Natives (Solar Flares for short): a Hip Hop collective based out of the 757 Virginia area that serves, protects and preserves the youth + community through the means of Hip Hop culture. Also making it important to mention that, he is Guerilla Will and Professor Decimus' OG! If you are a sucker for knowledge gems, you're in the right place. Get into it!

Oh you know .. That obligatory, end of the year, "Best of .." episode. Except with that Thread Count spice! You know Decimus & Guerilla Will wouldn't be themselves if they didn't have the year-end-catagories, that make most people hesitant to answer in public. Everything from - "The most questionable dance-judging call of the year" all the way to having some of their distant, special friends prompt them with questions that make the mind work more constructively. We wish all you filthy animals very, merry holidays and we will catch you busters in 2019!

Will & Decimus welcome the lovely - Kosi Eze to the show for Episode 5. Rising big name in the international street & club dance scene, out of the T.dot! ... well, Mississauga to be exact and originally from Nigeria. She reps Rebels De La Soul, Symbiotic Monsters & most recently put down with Sour Patch Crew. If you are not familiar with the Queen, you need to be! The duo also go over the latest antics put on by PETA, and why they are the epitome of the "cry wolf" analogy. It was a good week. What's your thread count?

Guerilla Will & Professor Decimus kick off their inaugural episode with talk about "beef" and what that means in the dance world. When to talk about it & when to dance about it. Featuring the buzzing 'avocado toast" clip, as well as, many more laughs brought to you by the culturally empowered duo.
