Hip hop legend Styles P sits down to talk about his watch collection and how he got into collecting. He breaks down why he loves brands like IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Girard-Perregaux over the typical rapper choices. Styles explains how watches are the perfect conversation starter in business and why he views time differently than most people. He shows off some serious pieces including a green Patek Aquanaut, a Lange Datograph, and a JLC perpetual calendar that his wife got him because of Doctor Strange. Plus he talks about getting his wife into watches, his juice bar business, and why quality matters in everything he does.

The crew is back with Yoni Ben Yehuda to tackle one of the most heated debates in watch collecting - who has the best collection in hip hop. We break down Jay-Z, Drake, Travis Scott, Pharrell, DJ Khaled, N.O.R.E., and Tyler the Creator across different categories like best collaboration, biggest risk taker, and most underrated collector. You'll hear some surprising takes, including why one host thinks Travis Scott beats Jay-Z as the top collector. We also give props to some underrated collectors like Styles P and Pusha T who deserve way more credit.
