Episode 99 | Orbit (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)

Episode 99 opens with Trivelle steering the conversation back to the podcast’s early, more provocative days. He boldly claims that whether she admits it or not every woman is aware when a man is interested in her. The group debates what defines a “crush”: is it simply feeling someone is attractive, or something that must be acted upon? From there they shift to music: they discuss Gunna’s back-to-back shows in Toronto at a 10,000-capacity venue. XP points out that’s impressive for an artist performing outside the continental U.S., especially given the efforts to “get him out the way” after the YSL trial and related gang-snitch allegations. Given those pressures, Gunna’s perseverance and ability to organize successful shows earns respect. They ask whether Young Thug could still pull off equal or greater shows in Toronto today debating venue size, promotion, and logistics. Trivelle compares Young Thug’s potential to the recent 3-night run by Vybz Kartel in Toronto, and they mention How Drake surprisingly performed Show 1 on his birthday. XP praises Kartel’s stage presence and overall performance. Then T asks whether Tyla could draw a strong venue in town. Shifting gears, they talk about one of the ongoing social-media controversies: after Elon Musk unveiled Twitter’s new location sharing feature, social-media “stan” accounts are in uproar especially the ones created or rose to prominence during the Kendrick Drake some posting reckless claims. OShauN argues that people who talk recklessly online should have to show their faces and account for their words in real life. They close out by giving love to Wale’s latest release via Def Jam Recordings, and expressing excitement about how the Toronto Raptors are playing lately. Check out Episode 99.
