Hosts Tre’vell and Jarrett STAN Lil Nas X, and so of course this week we’re talking about his Montero album. Before that, however, a comment Jarrett made to Tre’vell at their 30th birthday party, inspired them to publish an article about the policing of trans bodies: In Defense of the Meaty Tuck on Xtra Magazine. Jarrett and Tre’vell get into a meaty conversation about the beauty standards of a white, cis-gendered-dominated society. And if you enjoy this episode on Lil Nas X, be sure to listen to NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour to hear even more opinions on his latest album.
