Happy Tuesday to our new listeners and our true listeners. We’re back after a fun-filled weekend. Demaris & Rory were outside engaging in grown up degeneracy - Freddie Gibbs and well curated cocktails, and planning for their vacation next week. Meanwhile, Playboi Carti was busy proving them wrong about his superstar status after his highly-anticipated album dropped over the weekend, breaking streaming numbers. This leads into a conversation about SZA breaking another streaming record, and why artis from the past shouldn’t be compared to artists from now in regards to numbers. Dreamville’s final lineup dropped - we discuss who we would want to see on the bill, and which of us would even be allowed on the premises.
