New Rory & MAL

Happy Friday! The Prophet Malhamed gets his flowers for his JID and J.Cole take from months ago, and the crew discusses JID addressing the BET Awards and Cole’s verse on “99 Builds Freestyle”. Lupe Fiasco caught some flack for forgetting lyrics at his show, as well as for his rant about people illegally downloading his debut album back in the day. Don Toliver becomes the first rapper to hit a million copies sold in 2026, BET announces their nominees, and Ray Daniels predicts Jay-Z is dropping a Drake diss. The guys share some more NBA Playoffs predictions, and react to Summer Jam’s lineup. Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you next week!

Mal is in Toronto, and no, we haven't heard ICEMAN yet. Today, Rory sits down with DDot and Tracey Lee, who’s new project “Law & Disorder” is out now. DDot and Tracey share some crazy stories about their time at Howard, working with Biggie, and recognizing Jay-Z’s talent. The guys also discuss aging gracefully in hip hop, who gets to critique music, and debate what “real hip hop” is. We’ll see you next week when the ice has melted, and Mal is back!
