  • Drizzy Draft

    It’s been a long time… We shouldnna left you… It’s the Gods of the Pods. We been trying to stop saying “We’re back once again…”

    This is me trying things out. Ep. 80. S/O Jerry Rice. Happy birthday Chop. Another washed year. Drizzy Draft is back to the working world. Sean’s still trying to work his way out. Taji & Warren been working too much. All is well.

    The Matrix Trilogy is getting a 4th installment this Christmas. We talked about the roll out and how the dynamic of that concept may have changed over the years.
    Andre 3000 made an appearance on a Kanye song that was slated for the Donda album. It ended up not making the cut but he did make a moment.
    Lots of music talk this pod.
    What we’ve been listening to & watching to round out the pod. Washed moments of course. “All the world’s ill’s…”

    Welcome back Gods & Goddesses. Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. The whole gang is here. Taji’s back in the fold this week. Glad to have him back. This was a really Washed episode.
    Donda is finally here. We talked about how we feel about the album now that we’ve listened to it in it’s entirety. Lots of features.
    Max Kellerman is leaving First Take with Stephen A. Smith. We talked about the possible reasons for his departure. He’s getting a new show of his own so it’s really not a loss. It may be part of ESPN’s house cleaning initiative. Shout out Rachel Nichols.
    Only Fans Is back. No sooner did we talk about them dialing back the sexual content did they hit us with a reverse. They Thanos snapped the whole agenda as soon as competition started to pop up with alternate streaming networks.
    Nore recently got into hot water with Wu-Tang Clan for some off the cuff comments on Drink Champs. It seems like they’re not back pedaling or doubling down. Mickey Factz however… is another story.
    Washed Moments of course.

  • Only Hands #OnlyFans
    Ep. 79
    Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. Much love to all the Gods & Goddesses. This weeks been eventful. Lots of activities amongst ourselves & the local news cycle. Draft & Sean have been hitting the courts. Lots of old man hoops. Basketball has become a teaching tool for other aspects of life. Work. Relationships. Ball is life???
    Onlyfans talked about banning their explicit content. We’ll revisit this topic soon I’m sure. The puritans are fighting back. Let’s see who wins.
    Kendrick Lamar posts a message stating he’ll be recording his last album with TDE. Will it be his last album period? Or just his last on his label? Questions.
    Kanye and Drake’s feud is still in full swing. Yé recently posted threatening texts from Drake. Apparently Kanye is waiting to drop his album the same day as Drake to help fuel the numbers war they’ve been having over the past few years. We’ll see when exactly either of these albums come out.
    With school back in session & covid cases on the rise, some Georgia schools have been mandating a mask policy for students as young as 5. We discussed our thoughts & feelings on the current state of our social climate concerning the mask/no mask debate.

  • DYNO with the black mags
    Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. More pod for ya head top. Lots of “views from the 6” on this one. We got the chance to chop it up with the talented and opinionated Freako Rico. He’s done everything from album covers, to sneakers, collaborations with your favorite rappers, & more. 
    We talked about his roots as a kid on the Eastside of Atlanta. How he cultivated his artistic abilities in a space where everyone wasn’t as receptive. 
    The people who helped groom him for the “Creative Lifestyle”.
    How he traveled from Atlanta to DC for college and eventually made his way up to New York to absorb the culture and pursue a job as an illustrator.
    What made him come back to the A and how it continued to cultivate his style & cementing himself into the street art scene here in the city. 
    We asked about a few of his collaborations with artists & brands. And how he doesn’t want to work with labels or rappers if he can help it. Lots of game on this episode.  Big thanks to Freako for pulling up & hanging out with the Gods of The Pods. Follow him on social media @freakorico (IG).

  • Be Safe Tho #FreeTaxstone

    Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. Episode 78! Shout out Bruce Smith. Another week spent in paradise. Draft & Sean been on different timelines but found a way to link up like Loki. And it’s still middle fingers up to the TVA. Speaking of Loki, Marvel has been under fire for under paying its writers. DC too apparently. With the popularity of comic book movies & shows there’s a lot of storylines being used. Very few writers are getting their just due. 

    Apple recently announced they’ll be scanning users photos for “security reasons”. Something about investigating child abuse cases. But at what point aren’t they just going through your personal information for their own personal use? And who else will be allowed access once they’re in? Questions for Jobs that need answers. 

    There was another Edgewood shooting over the weekend. Atlanta crime has been on the rise lately. We’ve been able to see it first hand lately. It seems as if it’s getting closer and closer to home. Not sure what to say or do about it in this space. Just make sure you check on your people. And be safe if you’re out here moving and shaking. 

    MacDonalds have been giving artists meals like deals. Saweetie is the latest entertainer with a meal for customer consumption. Not sure what’s in it. Don’t really care. Call me old fashioned, but I’d much rather Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck sell me my novelty fast food meals. Maybe the 90’s Dream Team, but they’ve got to bring the collectors cups back! 

    Ended with what we’ve been watching and listening to as always. Washed Moments to round out the pod. Thanks as always for tuning in. Like. Subscribe. Share. Stay Black.

  • The hawks are out!

    Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. Welcome back. Welcome BACK! WELCOME BAAAACCCCCKKK!!!!

    We missed y’all. This past week was good to the Gods. Vince Knows (@Atl_VinceKnows) had a pop up at Versus (VSAtl) for his brand, and our favorite street wear brand CityInTheWoods  (@CITW_Company). Recap via the Washed Gods coming soon. 

    Da Baby’s still getting a lot flack for his anti-gay rant during Rolling Loud. He’s since then issued a statement and apologies in the fall out. “Gots to be mo’ careful!”

    Hollywood celebrities are coming and confessing they don’t bath frequently. Weird flex, but okay. 

    We did a mock Verzuz for the up coming Lox/Dipset battle. It came. We saw. The Lox conquered. We discussed the parallels in our battle & the real one. What made it stand out among Verzuz. Took a tangent down  Old Head Ln. sharing mixtape memories. 

    And last but not least, Kanye West had another listening in Mercedes-Benz stadium. Another live stream and no album to show for it. Are we living in a movie plot? Is this an art piece? How do you feel about the album not dropping? Questions!

  • Rap Snacks and Faygo | Featuring: Amber North
    Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. This was a busy news week. We had to bring in reinforcements. Our friend Amber of the Amberland podcast stopped by and kicked it with the “The Gods of The Pods”.
    Da baby is under fire for homophobic comments he made during his set at Rolling Loud. We talked about the fallout we anticipated due to the social media storm he’s in.
    Simone Byles recently backed out of specific events in this years Olympics due to mental health concerns. All of which we attribute to the media and the toxic environment it perpetuates.
    The US Olympic Basketball team has had their work cut out for them this year. Starting out shaky with countries like France. No commemorative “Dream Team” merch this year.
    Frito Lay is back in the news cycle with another story about the Ingram family. They’re story is one of many we’ve heard since we found out about the strike.
    There’s been a city wide “Mask Mandate” in Atlanta from mayor Kiesha Lance-Bottoms, who seems to be in a silent war with governor Kemp. They’ve both been using the media to air out each other’s grievances.
    And last but not least, after a sold out listening party at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium here in Atlanta, Kanye West has yet to release his highly anticipated album Donda. The rescheduled date is fast approaching and Yé has been holding out in the stadium until it’s finished. He even popped up at an Atlanta United game.
    Washed Moments & what we’ve been watching/listening to in the mix.

  • Manifesting With Phyllis Iller

    Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. We’ve been going strong with the interview portion of our podcast. This week we sat down with photographer & content creator Melissa Alexander. Also known as Phyllis Iller.  She’s known us for a long time. A friend of working class music group and all the aspects of our creative clan. So this interview came very naturally.  We talked about her creative process, pre & post pandemic. How she’s shaped her portfolio around highlighting black people & intimacy.  What parts of her creativity come from her upbringing? How her life and work balance makes teaching points for her daughter about structure?  And how she’s moving forward and expanding in a creative space. Really enjoyed sitting with her and talking through her experience and creative process. Follow her on social media @Phyllis.iller IG. Go check out her site at https://www.phyllisiller.com/info.

  • Spacesos

    Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. Ep. 74. It’s been a long week. Lots of pods this month. A few more guests. Keeping the productivity high. We talked about the Frito Lay strike. Apparently employees have been working “suicide shifts” in which they’ve been required to work overtime for the past 5 months. Employees have been hurt on the job & poorly compensated for their injuries. One person passed away on the job.

    We talked about Jeff Besos in space. He and Richard Branson are in the news cycle recently for being rich and making use of their fortunes the best way they knew how. Flexing on the rest of humanity.
    Speaking of fortunes.
    Dr. Dre has been ordered to pay his ex-wife 300K a month in divorce settlement. We discussed this before on an older episode. This was just a recap of the types of conversations we’ve heard swirling around this topic. And how much 300,000 a month REALLY is to a billionaire
