House & Ksenia break down if Drake's Scorpion Format (Full Album plus many more tracks) or the 7 Ye Theory (EPs) is better to release in order to garner the most attention as a new recording artist. Future recently dropped Beast Mode 2, and he went on a twitter rant about how he deserves recognition for fathering the new generation of rappers. Is future really the father, or is there another Atlanta rapper the true trendsetter? Juice WRLD's "Lucid Dreams" is a perfect example of the new wave in Hip Hop, "Emo Rap". House and Ksenia talk about how the early roots of this soundscape could originate from Supa Bwe of Hurt Everybody and Lil Uzi Vert.
