From J. Cole’s Take to Jay-Z’s Return: The Hip-Hop Headlines You Need to Know

from Afternoons with Zweli on 947 · host 947

The heavyweights are making headlines, and things are getting complicated! On this episode of News It or Lose It with Zweli, we’re dissecting the biggest stories rocking the music industry. We start with Usher’s recent Forbes profile, where his choice words in defense of Diddy have fans questioning his judgment, we break down the fallout and ask if some public figures are just too connected to let go. Then, we pivot to the lyrical battlefield: J. Cole has dropped a new project, and the internet is convinced he’s hiding messages about the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake saga. Finally, the King of New York, Jay-Z, is teasing something big. Is it the comeback album we’ve been praying for, or another massive business move? We’re cutting through the speculation and giving you the final word on what’s hot and what’s definitely "lose it." Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture. Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.
