Episode 78 | "Are You Wearing Velour?" (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)

In the first episode of 2025, the trio dives into an action-packed discussion. Trivelle and EverythingOShauN give DJXP a detailed synopsis of Billy Bob Thornton’s Land Man, sharing their thoughts on the show and its highlights. The conversation then shifts to wild simping stories the group has witnessed, Donald Trump’s shocking plans for his second term, and Beyoncé’s delayed 2025 announcement amid rumors of a potential rock album. This sparks a heartfelt tribute to iconic rock music moments and the genre's rich musicality from the '90s. DJXP shares insights from CNN’s Luther Vandross documentary, which leads to the trio diving into Luther’s background vocal work and his dedication to perfection. This sparks a debate on how music creation and curation have shifted away from being artist-driven to becoming more consumer-driven. The group then hilariously breaks down the third Ball brother’s Billboard smash hit, “I Might Swerve Bend That Corner Woah.” They speculate on Justin Bieber’s potential return to music, analyzing his recent social media moves, while giving legendary producer Darkchild his flowers. A brief but fiery discussion follows on white artists who have managed to “win both sides” of cultural acceptance. The trio also explores Vybz Kartel’s creative process for recording his massive hit “Fever,” as revealed in his recent interviews with Billboard and other outlets. The cast then tries (and struggles) to explain Robbie Williams—of Better Man fame—to DJXP, leading to a passionate discussion about the evolution of singers’ subject matter over time. Rounding out the episode, the trio delves into the rumored secret beef between T-Pain and DJ Khaled (via Future), posing the ultimate question: Who would win in a Verzuz battle—T-Pain or Future? The show wraps up with a spicy take on the Joy Taylor spectacle currently rocking the sports world.
