    Sorry for the wait... here's a (brief) summer recap. Summer Jam Screen is filled with my family vacation, fade in the water, and the booty warrior. Selling Hope Like Dope has Tim Gurner saying the quiet part out loud. Hold This L goes to Glitch McConnell and the January 6th leaders getting football numbers in the feds. Not All Heroes Wear Capes, some become undisputed champion for a second time and in Health Over Wealth we "Rest at the end, not in the middle."

    Season 3 has kicked off! I'm telling you life stories on the Summer Jam Screen. In Selling Hope Like Dope, I give my thoughts on the Chris Rock special. Negroes Always Asking Caucasians Permission gotta Hold This L. Shoutout to the Reignman for making it rain bullets and in Health Over Wealth I give some jewels that has helped me finish out my third decade.

Current Events Buffet

I love Durags & Boatshoes so much. It’s an honest and entertaining snapshot of what’s really going on in news and pop culture with a real perspective. It covers mainstream topics but stuff I’ve missed too. The way the show is broken up into different segments make it super enjoyable to listen to as well. And the beats in the background behind the voice over is so satisfying to listen to- like candy for your ears!!!!
