On this episode of The Morning Aux, we bring the energy with new music drops, spotlight independent artistry, test the crew’s musical memory, and honor a trailblazer in Black music history.

We kick things off with the latest in music: Offset and JID join forces on “Bodies,” Cardi B makes a bold return with “Outside,” Clipse drop the long-awaited “So Be It,” Erykah Badu and The Alchemist team up on “Next To You,” Rapsody and Madlib deliver the new Madraps EP, and Wale reemerges with “Where To Start.”

Next up, it’s game time — Nicole goes head-to-head with Oneal in a heated round of Who Said That? Think you can name the artist before they do?

Our Independent Artist Spotlight shines on Mel.Crozby with his smooth, nostalgic track “Polaroids,” produced by Classified Alias.

Then we shake things up with this week’s Would You Rather, where the crew navigates hilarious and thought-provoking hypotheticals.

And in honor of Black Music Month, we pay tribute to the legendary Sun Ra — a visionary artist whose cosmic sound helped shape the Afrofuturist movement and still influences music today.

Turn us up and catch the vibe — this is The Morning Aux.
