Hip Hop Heads - June 2019 Rap Recap w/ DJ Cicero

Originally streamed in the Hip Hop Heads Facebook Group on June 17th, my friend Chris Patton (DJ Cicero) and I had a chat about what’s been going on in hip hop for 2019 thus far. We start the conversation with the impact of Nipsey Hussle’s life and untimely death, DJ Khaled & Tyler the Creator drama, and Kanye West’s Sunday Service. Then we break into our top albums of the year so far at the time we recorded.
