Dismissed
This week’s episode starts on a somber note as I take a moment to honor the late, legendary D’Angelo — a true cornerstone of R&B whose impact can’t be overstated. From there, I get into the Drake vs. UMG case and its recent dismissal — breaking down how we got here, what the decision means, and what Drake’s next move should be from a career and strategy standpoint.
I also tap in with new releases from Mobb Deep, TiaCorine, Doe Boy, and yes… even Kylie Jenner. Plus, I give flowers to Wale as he gears up for his return with Everything Is A Lot and share a few early Grammy nomination predictions that might surprise you.
