    ThrowBLKs: Future's "Honest"

    ThrowBLKs: Future's "Honest"

    How does a mixture of love and pop stardom almost alter one of the greatest careers in rap?
    As Future dominates 2024 with two of the year's biggest albums, the trajectory for this power could be seen ten years ago with the release of his sophomore album, 'Honest'. However, the rockstar lifestyle was much different ten years ago where the Atlanta mastermind embraced his position as the latest pop hitmaker. How would his most devoted fans react as his run of mixtape classics became more tailored for the new fanbase he created? Join us on a look back at the entire path of the futuristic legend, ranging from our own personal journeys with Future, a track-by-track retrospective on 'Honest' and much more.

    Recut Gems 016: "Scary Solidarity"

    Recut Gems 016: "Scary Solidarity"

    Has the power of the hot take reached its ceiling online, or do we need to turn up the flame?
    As MC and A Plus return in a new Recut Gems bonus, one thing stays as constant as it has in the past five years: their Heat and Celtics battling in the NBA Playoffs. Hear how they've taken the first two games in a 1-1 split, along with the bright days ahead with our new WWE Champion at the helm, A Plus' exclusive listen of Tems' upcoming album, our first look at the upcoming 'ThrowBLKs: Honest' special and the stan culture that has ruined the biggest rap battle in the past two decades.

    The BlkPrint 059: "A Get Offline Moment"

    Past, present, future -- the greatest internet play will stand strong for all eternity.
    Needless to say, it feels like the entire world has flipped upside down since the last episode of The BlkPrint. Beef has helped cement hip-hop on top of the Billboard charts for the past three weeks, and the tension isn't even close to its boiling point yet. Hear J5, Josh Peas (live in the Canada battlegrounds!) and MC discuss both releases from Future & Metro Boomin, the positives that come from competition and the 1v1 battle that has never been seen at this height in rap. Also tune in for full details on J5's recent trip home to Virginia, the polarizing effects of gentrification, OJ Simpson's passing and TikTok's personal description of the "worst Coachella ever".

    The BlkPrint 058: "Fantasy Booking"

    Has the biggest album in the country turned Twitter into detectives and storytellers?
    After an incredible trip back to 2005 on our latest ThrowBLKs, J5 and Josh Peas reunite on this week's episode of The BlkPrint. Hear how Josh explored Europe in the month of March, describing his tourist experiences in Stockholm and Copenhagen, the food myths debunked in London and the best moments in Amsterdam -- make sure your passports are up to date! We also shine a mirror toward the online discourse toward Future & Metro Boomin's 'WE DON'T TRUST YOU' project from two of the biggest Pluto fans on the planet. Does 'Like That' have too much of a circus behind it? Are Twitter's rap beef pundits striking out on the Easter eggs? Most importantly, what is this second album about to sound like on April 12?

The A-Show is a dope show. It’s in fact the first wrasslin podcast I decided to peep. It’s especially nice to hear from two black men discuss these topics in the depths that they go to. Need more of that. Keep up the good work. - @DrameTV2
