There's really only one episode left. Time flies when you're having fun I guess 🤷🏽‍♂️ This week we cover the VMAs, the Met Gala and new music from our favs. We also do a cool segment that we haven't done in a while.

This week, we cover a lot. We of course do our CLB review, we have an open discussion about the state of artistry, we talk about life transitions and we end with a game of Slap or Trash! This week are joined by special guest host Des Milan aka Destiny Spencer! Also apologies for the the quality of the auto this week.

We got a good one for y'all this week. We talk about Jay's big move to LA, clout chasers, Donda and more! This week we are joined by special guest host Sharron Reed Davis!

So many topics this week! We talked Sha'Carri, Kanye, Drake, Spiderman and so much more! The only got 4 episode left this season!

This week we talk about forgiveness, white people judging Black art, and world events. We are at the season midpoint!

We've got good one this week! We talk about the need for new music, social media demands, and the essence of our friendship!
