Tom attempts to have a meaningful discussion about the Cecil Hotel documentary, and Royce tells the fellas about his Grammy-day plans. Comedian Tony Baker joins the show to interview Royce in honor of his nomination for Best Rap Album: Royce unpacks the differences between being an underdog and an underachiever, the importance of making a commitment to the universe,  and  the experience of being known alongside Eminem. He also describes what it’s like to produce his own album, and talks about his favorite producers. Lupe talks about his approach to features, shares a tender sentiment with Royce, and reveals the artist who inspired him to trash an entire album. Finally, Tony takes us on a walk down memory lane to revisit Grammy lineups past.
