    Episode 97: Pusha T Vs. Drake

    Episode 97: Pusha T Vs. Drake

    Because the show is called Shots Fired, we had to devote an entire episode to Pusha T Vs. Drake beef: the origins, winners, losers, baby hiding, and its place in hip-hop history.

    Keep an eye out for Nocando's next album "Coyote" dropping June 12

    Episode 96: Zaytoven

    Episode 96: Zaytoven

    For the latest episode of Shots Fired, Nocando and Jeff debate the absurdity of Kanye's latest MAGA moves, bizarre behavior, and whether it's possible to listen to his new music with objectivity in the wake of his Trump endorsement.

    In the second half, Jeff talks to Zaytoven about his roots in the Bay area, his work in pioneering trap music, collaborations with Future and Gucci and much more. The interview was recorded a while back but this is Shots Fired and you can deal with us being late all the time.

    New episode next week though. We promise.
