In this week's rap up, Sumit and Chris get into:

Rumoured Drake and Dave collaborationKeefe D being denied bailBig L trying to get Mase set up and robbed
The hosts also reviewed the week's new releases, including albums from Boldy James and Conductor Williams, Lupe Fiasco, Locksmith, Kofi Stone, and Marsha Ambrosius. Oh yeah, Shaquille O'Neal released some old new music by reissuing his third album, You Can't Stop The Reign, to streaming services. This is big (pun intended) because the album features a classic collab with The Notorious B.I.G. and a long-lost track with Nas, Jay-Z, and Lord Tariq, originally recorded in 1996! Thank us later.

You are listening to the 200th episode of Breaking Atoms. First, the team couldn't have done it without you - the listeners. But there are no balloons or fanfare. Not a single badge or paper crown in sight. Sumit and Chris stay working, and they are joined by none other than Slum Village for their milestone episode.
T3 and Young RJ are currently on tour but took the time to spill the beans on the making of their new album, F.U.N., bringing back disco music, the 20th anniversary of Detroit Deli, and more!

There was no time to review new music because it was Chris' birthday, and he had a spa date. But check out the new album, 'Movie', by Your Old Droog, which dropped yesterday. Friend of the show and in real life, K-Nite 13 has produced three songs on the project.

Rappers love a nickname or alias—some more than others. A good alias can become just as renowned as the name on the album cover. Sumit and Chris talk about their favourite Rap aliases - from the appropriate to the silly - and they have some fun with it. By the way, that's Shock G on the cover because his Humpty Hump alias is mad. He rocked a plastic nose and became a whole new person. Please respect the ting. RIP.
