Episode 113: Kendrick Lamar's "GNX" Review, J Cole's Rollout Getting Stepped On, Rhythm & Flow Recap
The boogeyman is back! This past Friday afternoon, Kendrick Lamar surprised us all with his sixth studio album "GNX". After his decisive victory in the beef against Drake and the announcement of his upcoming Super Bowl Halftime appearance, it was only right that Kenny dropped a full length project to capitalize on his massive momentum. We gave our breakdown and thoughts on the album, reacted to the the early reception, and discussed whether we think this is THE album or simply a taste of what's to come.
We also spoke on Cole's "The Fall Off" rollout being hijacked be the release of "GNX" and how we think Cole should move forward. We also recapped the first four episodes of the new season of Netflix's "Rhythm and Flow", a rap competition show. Friend of the pod, SeeFour, is one of the participants featured in Season 2 and we're rooting for him as he represents Boston on such a huge platform! Tune in and enjoy the episode!
