Hey folks! Our Twitter friend and self proclaimed Migos stan Erik aka @Milksteakk joined us to discuss new albums from Lil Pump, Offset and Gunna.

There are plenty of sidebars including one where Jayson states his disdain for his mortal enemy Travis Scott. Enjoy!

Hey folks! We were lucky enough to have one of our favorite hip-hop writers Gary Suarez aka @noyokono. We discussed J. Cole's new single Middle Child, "Stan Culture" online and the erosion of music journalism in the age of click-bait.
Gary talked a little bit about his annual Music Writer Exercise, which we invite you all to try. All you have to do is listen to one album that you have never heard before every day in February, then you write one tweet about the album. Make sure to include the hashtag #MWE.
At the end of the episode we played a quick "pick em" rapper game based on a few of Jayson's Twitter recent polls.
