November 12, 2020 Ep. 029 - Favorite Songs of 2020
Arash & Spex are ecstatic for one of their most highly anticipated discussions since they started the podcast. Arash spent the previous weekend in Nashville and watched the Bears get trounced by the Titans, all while Joe Biden was announced the winner of the Presidential Election. They briefly share a couple songs of the week from 2 Chainz, NAV, and A$AP Twelvyy before they get into the main topic. Rappers like Pop Smoke, Lil Baby, Chris Brown, Megan Thee Stallion, DaBaby, the Griselda group and many more shined this year. Do you agree with their song selections?
RIP to King Von & Alex Trebek.
