The podcast is back to give their annual year end kudos (and
dismissals)! This episode they cover their honorable mentions from the
past year before they get to their big 10, as well as discussing the
2023's disappointments, surprises, and down right awful. Your hosts
cover it all from Hip Hop, R&B, and Jazz (thank you Andre3000), as
well as going off the beaten path for a bit to discuss some of their
favorite movies and books they consumed this past year as well. They
also discuss what a great year 2023 was for Rap despite what the popular
critical narrative spouted by some notable figures and journalists in
the industry would tell you and analyze why such is even being posited
in the first place.
Intro Music: Junclassic - "Borrowed Time (Instrumental)"
