    What the culture feeling: How Kendrick took down Drake and made it look easy (Ft. Kyra Abrams)

    After taking six months away Key and Nij are back for a new season of Keys ‘n D, and it’s only right that they start by breaking down the rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Kendrick’s win was decided long before this episode was recorded, but Season 3 episode 1 is all about the how and why. Kyra, a longtime hip-hop lover and friend of the show, joins to discuss what fallen dominoes led to 2024’s rap war, what made Kendrick’s approach to the beef so masterful and the mistakes Drake made that led to his defeat.
