from Helio-Tropes · host Yash

EricTheYoungGawd is a media personality and journalist with bylines in COMPLEX and a YouTube channel that you should definitely subscribe to. We get right down to business, unpacking the return of Clipse, their new deal with Roc Nation, and how Pusha T is using familiar tricks to stir up controversy. We also talk about Brooklyn rapper MIKE and Tony Seltzer's impressive collaborative album Pinball II and the way MIKE has turned underground buzz into a fledgling rap career. We dive into Lil Wayne's epic brick Tha Carter VI; the disconnected nature of the music and the unexpected collaborations that couldn't save the album from itself. We talk In-N-Out versus Fatburger, and Eric shares his Top 5 songs of the moment—from Moskino, Nourished By Time, Angelo Leroi, Brother Ali, Cameron Winter, and El Cousteau.  Follow Helio-Tropes on Instagram @helio__tropes Follow Yash on Instagram @yashzadeh Follow Eric on Instagram @youaintpackinmeat
