From Diss Tracks to Dreamvillefest, Wrestlemania Recap + More

WNTTLK (We Need To Talk)

Hip-hop aficionados, brace yourselves for a sonic rollercoaster as Ken and I dissect the latest beats, bars, and behind-the-scenes drama that's shaking the foundations of the genre. Imagine a roundtable where the "big three" of rap—Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and J. Cole—clash, not just with their lyrics but with their legacies. We're picking apart that seven-minute diss track that's got everyone talking, laughing at the unexpected apologies it led to, and reveling in the sheer audacity of hip-hop's competitive spirit.
This episode isn't just about the clashes; it's a celebration of culture, from the Dreamville festival's gutsy response to critics to the unexpected crossovers at WrestleMania where music and wrestling fans unite. Ken's insights shine a light on how even amidst beefs and lyrical sparring, hip-hop creates moments of unity and shared milestones for communities. We share personal reflections on how these events transport us, creating live experiences that transcend the headphones and the streaming numbers.
To cap it all off, we're spinning through the latest albums that demand a deep listen, no skipping allowed. Future's hidden features beckon us to explore the full narrative of his album, while Atlanta's hip-hop Mount Rushmore sparks debate on who truly defines a city's sound. As Ken and I swap stories on how hip-hop has soundtracked our lives post-college, we invite you to consider your musical evolution and join the conversation. Let's keep the dialogue going—hit us up with your takes and tune in for a ride through the rhymes and reasons of hip-hop's heartbeat.

Talk Soon! ✌🏾
