Summary

The crew returns with a special episode as Q joins the show before sharing laughs about comments, travel habits, and the Miami vs. Dominican Republic debate (4:00). They shift into lighter banter about BBLs and the infamous Tea App story featuring Savon’s dad (8:15), plus anticipation for Joe Budden’s 45th birthday party and reflections on how far they’ve come since college radio days (11:17). The conversation then dives deep into the shakeup at Hot 97, Funk Flex moving time slots, DJ Enuff’s departure, and whether radio can adapt to the digital era (15:52). From there, they critique DJ Khaled’s latest singles, his reliance on Drake, and the need for evolution in music (43:07), before unpacking French Montana’s elusive role amid the Diddy fallout (56:09). To close, the guys discuss the state of Atlanta hip-hop and Young Thug’s quiet return (1:00:46).
