Episode 270 is partly a review of our favourite music of the month, and partly a chat about what’s happening with Kendrick (new album) and Drake (lawsuits lol) in November.
The Best of the Month episode is now Patreon-only. Public subscribers get the first 25 minutes or so. Patreon members get to hear the whole episode on their member feeds or on Patreon direct.
Andrea tells us why Drake is suing UMG, the label both him and Kendrick are on, and why he is also suing the label for defamation for things said in a rap beef with Lamar (you couldn’t make it up) .
Then we review Kendrick’s new surprise album GNX, with its West Coast rapper focus and hyphy vibe adding up to a victory lap for the rapper.
After our recent deep dive into his seminal album, it’s the return Andrea’s Cool Big Guy Father John Misty and his new album Mahashmashana who as we found out is on the same release schedule as K.Dot. Andrea reviews the album and we talk a Cher endorsement too for Mr Tillman.
