Ep 131

This week on The Stem Society, Cole breaks down Drake’s new Complex interview and pulls out the moments that actually matter. From the “calm seas” comment to the mindset behind the Iceman rollout, Cole digs into what Drake is really trying to signal before the album drops.

Then, we get into the Roc Nation Distribution announcement and why the timing and presentation of this move just feel off. Is this a strategic play or a bad look for the culture? Cole explains why this news isn’t landing the way Roc Nation probably hoped.

Tap in for honest hip-hop commentary, no industry politics.
