Wake Up Episode 288: Blueface In Jail, Torrei Hart On Tour With Katt Williams, Drake Ain't Hip Hop

In this lively episode, Smooth recounts a humorous mishap of falling asleep due to a wine-induced nap, delaying the show. The hosts dive into three major topics: Blueface's imprisonment, Torrei Hart going on tour with Katt Williams, and whether or not Drake is still considered hip hop. Opinions vary, with discussions touching on the broader implications within the music industry, criticism from Mos Def, and Drake's evolution as an artist. The show wraps up with a thought-provoking MLK Day question on whether Martin Luther King's movement would have faced as much resistance without addressing economic issues.
