We’ve got a jam-packed episode for you! First, we share our thoughts on the Native Land Pod vs. Joe Budden Pod situation — and what we can all learn from it. Then, our guest Martie Bowser joins us to discuss the current state of hip-hop, especially its surprising absence from the Billboard Top 40 for the first time in decades. We dive into the implications of this trend and the growing impact of AI on music creation.

Later, we have a spirited conversation about a West Virginia HBCU that’s on its way to becoming majority white. Finally, we wrap up the show by asking the big question: Who can beat Jay-Z in a Verzuz?
