Last episode of 2025.

Yay.

Thank you to everybody that has listened this entire year.

They said we wouldn't be here. Oh, year. They said we wouldn't be here. Oh God. They said we wouldn't make it. Bow wow. Thank you with Jagged Edge is an underrated record. Yeah, man, last episode. How you feeling? This is it, 2025. This year flew. It was a great year. Not believe, but yes, it was a good year, highs and lows. I do want to thank everyone that listened this entire year. And we are going to do what we've been doing for, shit, last 10 years. We're going to do a wrap-up of the year episode. Got to do that. This one without our brother, Elliot Wilson, and a few shots of tequila. All of that is gone. But I do have my end of the year cup.

I got a little rosé in here.

I got a little peppermint tea.

Water.

Damaris is still hung over from two weeks ago.

So we are here to wrap up the year

and go through all the great music moments,

producers, verses, lyricists, everything. I like this type of shit. It's nerdy list stuff, but, you know, I think it's, I think it's important. Yeah, you do, because we said, we agreed on top 10 rap and top 10 R&B albums of the year. And of course, Rory has to show everybody his musical taste and wants everybody know what he was listening to. All right. It's very much teacher's pet. I'm the person that says, hey, I know what

that is. You couldn't. Hey, are you going to collect the homework? You just couldn't pick 10. You just couldn't pick 10. So you couldn't narrow down to 10. It was like one of Tupac's albums. You just didn't know what to cut. I get it. So you just pick 20. Well, there's nothing really on all eyes on me that

you needed to cut.

That's true.

No, don't do that because every year I do come in here with 10, but I feel like rap this year was so good that I couldn't just do 10. So much came out. And because I did 20 with rap, I just was like, all right, I might as well. This is a lot. It's a deluxe like like LeBron. You don't need. Here go two more for you. Ironically, two changes is pretty high on my rap album.

But with that said, where do we want to begin?

Is there anything you guys want to say to wrap up the year, like what you're thankful

for, what you're looking for any 2026 goals, New Year, New Year, New Me me back in the gym um people still say that yes that's definitely new year
