It's Faster Now

On the long awaited return of your favorite hosts, Scott, Stacks and Smalls (in spirit) have something to say! We hop on the mic for this behind the scenes episode to give you guys our review of Brent Faiyaz’ sophomore album Wasteland, as we rate and discuss his trajectory as an artist, how we felt about the project and what we think is next for him. Disclaimer: we love Brent over here, so don’t look for slander in this review. Although Brent was the reason we stepped back on the mic, we also missed our supporters. Scott and Stacks discuss why we stepped away for a while, the importance of loving your craft and also a little bit about wanting to return, the right way. But as we have been away from podcasting, we have still been busy! Scott is running the 2nd Annual School Supply Drive (Presented by Monumental) and we need your help!

Violence in our young men is more prevalent than ever, but it’s time to stand up and do more than speak out. Scott gives insight on the difference in upbringing, and the need for change. We hope that we haven’t been gone too long, cause we missed kicking it just like you missed listening!

Pay discrepancies and advertising differences are argued as we talk about WNBA player Liz Cambage and her issue with the payment of her fellow players. Stacks and the guys get riled up about why the NBA gets more funding and more airtime, as well as discussing what can be done differently to even the score, even if only a little bit. Speaking of scores, DaBaby is definitely winning when it comes to his feud with DaniLeigh - at least when it comes to the latest fight with her brother Brandon Bills. We discuss when the right time to step into a domestic feud is and explore the reasons why maybe Brandon should’ve just minded his business. As we close Scott tells us about Dave Chappelle’s latest controversy, this time giving his two cents, or lack thereof, to a new housing development, that comes with a few stipulations. We explore what he said, and what that means for his housing community, as well as discussing our own biases.
