After releasing their classic self-titled debut album, Boston's own Feed The Family came through to discuss their follow-up "Zing Language" and much more! From serving zings and facing the harsh consequences of street life, Feed The Family have transitioned and solidified themselves as one of New England's top rap groups, receiving co-signs from the likes of Griselda's Westside Gunn. In this episode, we discussed everything from how their new album came together, the group's focus on the "underground" demographic, and even took a deeper look at their own traumas and the hypocrisies of capitalism in America. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!

After a decisive win at the Ultimate Iron Chamber, the newly-crowned Grand Master of the Chamber, Jo Saza, joined us on this week's episode! We kicked off the episode with a recap of the Ultimate Iron Chamber, as Jo Saza explained his mentality and preparation leading up to the event. We also discussed what Saza plans to do with the $5,000 grand prize, how he plans to keep the momentum going, and how his background as a student of theater & show production has helped shape his artistry.

In the second half of the episode, we reacted to a polarizing tweet from friend of the show, RobPutsInWork, that had the timeline buzzing over the weekend. We got Tomo on the phone as we debated the topic of blood diamonds vs lab diamonds and our community's obsession with luxury goods. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!

On this week's episode, we sat down with Jason Almeida, better known as WHERE'S NASTY, a creative director, DJ, and event producer from Providence, RI. We explored his journey into hip-hop, the changing landscape of music discovery, and why numbers don’t define success in the culture. Nasty also shared his experiences throwing parties in high school, getting into DJing in college, and how he co-founded Stay Silent PVD, the force behind iconic events like Day Trill.

We also discussed the differences between Boston's and Providence's music scene, the balance between visibility and money in the creative industry, and the importance of understanding your audience through data. Anddd... we might've also touched on (pause) the Diddy situation toward the end of the episode. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!

On this week's episode, we kicked things off with a casual conversation on obesity and broke down three simple habits everyone should follow to stay healthy. We also reacted to the recent and unexpected passing of Rich Homie Quan (15:00) and how big of an influence music plays when it comes drug abuse. We later dived into the news of the Apalachee High School shooting (34:15) and couldn't help ourselves from entertaining the idea of teachers being strapped up.

Switching gears, we weighed in on the Ice Spice & Cleotrapa tour drama. (50:30) Of course, no episode is complete without some music talk! We shared our thoughts on Big Sean's and Doechii's new albums (1:04:00), Cole’s verse on the new A$AP Rocky single (1:14:50), and why A$AP Rocky’s secret weapon (Rihanna) might be his only chance to catch another hit (1:19:00).

The OG gang is back with another week of Bad For The Community! We kicked off the show with a hypothetical: "What if someone from the future told you your dreams would never work out?" Would you change up or follow the course? We also talked about secret talents we wish we had, which led to Nate and Tomo freestyling some stand-up comedy. We later spoke on the controversy surrounding Keith Lee's latest DC trip and questioned why people on the internet care so much about random people's opinions. After seeing the viral clip of Dr. Bryant and Cam Newton, Rob has the guys look inward and get honest about their own low-functioning behaviors and toxic traits. It gets real interesting, but you'll just have to tune in to find out! Enjoy the episode!

We had a beautiful and uplifting conversation on this week's episode with Boston's own, Yanna G! We kicked off the conversation discussing her newly released album "On Everything I Love", how she prioritizes her mental health, and what has been her biggest obstacles as she traverses life as an artist and a young woman.

We later reacted to Tyler the Creator's comments on certain artists taking up space in the music game, specifically those from outside the culture. We even shared our thoughts on Michael Rubin's comments about "Black on Black hate" and whether people should be able to speak on communities that they're not from. We ultimately ended the conversion on a high note, discussing the importance of seeking fulfillment in life and pouring into yourself & the people around you. Enjoy the episode!

It's been a controversial week, to say the least! We kicked off with Nate recapping his weekend with The Chamber taking over NYC and the Broccoli City Festival in D.C. In the past week, Lil Yachty stirred up waves with his latest comments on hip-hop (24:30) and leaking a song with Drake without getting permission from the artist they sampled (38:00). We discussed Drake teasing a collab album with PartyNextDoor (47:30), Kanye's unfinished Vultures 2 release (54:00), and Tory Lanez latest single that he recorded and released in prison (1:02:00).

Kamala Harris' "Blackness" has also recently been questioned by her political opponent, Donald Trump (1:10:00). In an effort to clear up any confusion, we took it upon ourselves to create the "official" Blackness test (1:15:30). Who asked? Nobody. Should you take it seriously? Probably not, but we did it anyways for sh-ts and giggles. We also reacted to the transphobic attacks and gender controversy surrounding Imane Khelif's participation in the Olympics women's boxing (1:35:30), and the reveal of Robert Downey Jr. being casted as Dr. Doom in Marvel's upcoming movies (1:49:00). It's a jam-packed episode from start to finish and our man, Johnny Wav, is subbing in for Yves while he's on vacation. Enjoy the episode!
