2024 witnessed possibly the biggest rap beef of the century…and perhaps ever. Kendrick Lamar's deep history with Drake erupted into a toxic battle with an unprecedented pace and instant-classic diss tracks…and we're here to break it all down.
Joining us for this behemoth episode, we have writers Dylan Green and Kia Turner on the round table, and special guest contributions from the likes of Justin Hunte, Rohan from The Rap Music Plug Podcast, journalist Thomas Hobbs and YouTuber Dobson. This went off, so dig in 🔥
