New Year, No Resolutions: Doechii, Fake Love & Georgia’s Governor Race | 59

In Episode 59 of The Malik Scylore Podcast, we kick off the New Year with real conversation—not resolutions for show.We break down the difference between New Year vs New Year’s, why most resolutions fail, and the history behind why January 1st even matters in the first place. From there, the episode moves into culture—addressing the backlash toward Doechii, unpacking her latest tracks, and why confidence from Black women is still policed differently in the industry.The conversation expands into performative love, sparked by viral Valentine’s-style gift culture, and why extravagant gestures can be more about optics than intention—while still acknowledging that two things can be true at once.We also touch on Stranger Things, current music chatter (Kehlani, Drake, Ty Dolla Sign, Chris Brown, Future), and the dangers of viral AI prank apps—especially how careless data uploads disproportionately put Black people at risk.The episode closes with a look at the Georgia Governor’s race, breaking down Keisha Lance Bottoms vs. Burt Jones, their messaging, strengths, and the broader implications for Georgia’s political future.Real talk, culture, accountability, and perspective—Episode 59 sets the tone.produced completely by:  @malikscylore ​
