Welcome to Day 10 of the 12 Days of Podcast. This series of 12 perfect episodes is brought to you by

the good people at Def Jam. GZ's got a new album called Pressure, which is named for how a rock

turned into a diamond, not the feeling I feel when we're trying to book guests for these 12

days of podcasts. I really enjoy the album, especially track 5, which has the hook. This is it. It's a hit. This is it.

My G. This is it. And if you're one of those people who needs to hear lyrics to feel like an adult,

look no further than Track 12 American Dream, which features J. Cole rapping and Kendrick Lamar is on

their two. It's snow season, better bundle up, and by that I mean by several autographed copies of GZ pressure now available on GZShop.com. Hey, Jeff. Hey, Eric. How are you? I'm okay. How are you? I'm okay as well. Obviously, we're all in mourning this week over the loss of our friend Reggie O'Say, better known as Combat Jack. I know a great number of you out there knew Reggie,

and if you didn't get a chance to meet him personally, I know that you felt like you knew him

thanks to the weekly relationship that you had when episodes of the Combat Jack show would

download to your phone. The genius of the Combat Jack show was the mix of knowledge and history

and atmosphere. It didn't seem like an

interview show. It was like you were invited to someone's family room. Huge shouts to the entire

Combat Jack Show team, including Chris Morrow, Jonathan Mena, Premium Pete, Matt Raz, Dallas Penn, DJ

Benhameen, and Just Blaze. All the iterations of the show we all loved were art

and will surely live on. It was wonderful to see Combat Jack as the top trend worldwide on Twitter

all yesterday, as well as to see Mogul and the Combat Jack show at the top of the iTunes

charts. So let's keep revisiting the content and relishing in its timelessness.

Reggie's greatness, though, went far beyond his job description. He was a good man who loved,

who showed love, who looked out, who openly rooted for those who weren't even business partners

with him, who was a great father, a great friend, a great leader, a great champion of all generations

of hip hop, and, at the end of the day, a great man. I hope what we can do in Reggie's name is

good work. Let's be better people, better friends, better partners, and better to ourselves,
