Episode 47 | J.Cole and Drake Collab Incoming, Who Can Sell Out Arenas, Our Top Album and Songs of the Year So Far, and Much More

We're a little over halfway through 2023 (jeez that was fast), and it's been an amazing year for music. 

 

The guys kick off the episode putting their prayers to the universe for a J. Cole and Drake collab. They then discuss which artists they think can sell out arenas. This leads to some flowers being given to some GOATs. 

 

They then discuss the difference between a strong work ethic and dropping everything an artists records. They then debate the difference between a rapper and an artist. Is there a difference? They finish up by listing their top albums and songs of 2023 so far and discussing the writers strike. Should there be a strike in the music industry?
