    The Woodwind Rises: On Andre 3000's New Blue Sun

    The Woodwind Rises: On Andre 3000's New Blue Sun

    Just the other night at the Local, Yoh was wondering what it would take for the crew to hop back on the mic. One week later, that reason came, courtesy of Andre 3000.

    In this reunion episode, we unpack New Blue Sun and wonder how Dre's debut solo album will function in our lives—as we age, as we mature, and as hip-hop enters its next 50 years.

    Omeretta the Great's Border Patrol vs. The Illegal ATLiens

    Just when we thought apartheid in the A was over, Omeretta the Great's "Sorry Not Sorry" turned "We grew here, you flew here" into a song. In this 911 emergency episode, the crew came out of pod-tirement to discuss with entertainment manager Steven Dingle (@stevozone4).

    The Legacy Route (w/ Taylor Crumpton)

    The Legacy Route (w/ Taylor Crumpton)

    Edit: This is our season 3 finale. See y'all in 2021.

    When we talk about Southern rap’s evolution, we tend to focus on Atlanta’s contributions in particular. Cultural critic Taylor Crumpton reminds us that there are other Southsides — stories about this genre that still need to be told and amplified. As one of five writers selected for Shea Serrano's Halfway Books pilot program, she maps out Dallas rap history by way of Big Tuck's 'Purple Hulk.' Buy Taylor's essay at www.taylorhalfway.com

    Icefinity War: The Gucci Mane-Jeezy Verzuz Recap

    Icefinity War: The Gucci Mane-Jeezy Verzuz Recap

    After feuding for 15 or 20 years (hell, they argued over that too), Gucci Mane and Jeezy met at Magic City to settle the score by way of Verzuz. We wrap our heads around the night that was part reunion, part reconciliation and part retaliation. Support for Sum'n to Say comes from patreon.com/sumntosay

    From Nujabes to Atlantis (w/ Chester Watson)

    From Nujabes to Atlantis (w/ Chester Watson)

    Chester Watson released his new album 'A Japanese Horror Film' this past Halloween. Halloween was a Saturday this year, though as the music makes clear, he navigates time and space by his own rules. We discuss how Samurai Champloo, astral projection experiences and a good talking-to from an ex informed his heady personal journey. Support Sum'n to Say at patreon.com/sumntosay

    Who is T.I. Doing This Verzuz?

    Who is T.I. Doing This Verzuz?

    "We hear T.I.'s voice all the time. And depending on your perspective, sometimes we've heard too much of T.I.'s voice," says Jah. This week we debate whether his new album, The L.I.B.R.A., is essential listening. Support for this podcast comes from: https://www.patreon.com/sumntosay
