This week on The RAYDAR Report, Ray Daniels and the crew are joined by Hitmaka (a.k.a. Yung Berg) for an unfiltered conversation about the music industry’s biggest scandals and cultural shifts. From fake streams to Cardi B’s courtroom drama, nothing is off limits. 💥 Highlights from this episode: Hitmaka breaks down how fake streams manipulate charts and why a “mid” record can go platinum with the push of a button. Ray calls out the lack of real executive leadership in today’s industry and why artists need coaches—not just yes-men. The crew debates Drake’s fading influence, Kendrick Lamar’s standing after the beef, and whether UMG’s alleged payola lawsuit changes everything. Heated takes on Cardi B’s legal battles, celebrity accountability, and the double standards between male and female artists. Predictions on NBA YoungBoy’s first-week sales and whether Republic Records can save his rollout. A deep dive into why coaching, storytelling, and artist development are more important than clout or quick money. This episode is raw, hilarious, and brutally honest—exactly what you expect from The RAYDAR Report. 📍 Full episodes + exclusive content only on Patreon:👉 patreon.com/RayDanielsPresents
