Justin Staple is for the culture. A journalist, director, and documentarian, Justin’s days at VICE led him to shoot his 2020 Hulu documentary American Rapstar , where he chronicled a rebellious new wave of young rappers who used SoundCloud to build intense stan armies — from XXXTentacion to Lil Peep. We get into how this era turned internet fame into million-dollar record deals and opened the door for a whole new generation of artists. We also talk about the producer F1lthy and his huge impact on modern rap, going back to the SoundCloud days and working with everyone from Matt Ox to Drake to Playboi Carti. We touch on how Bhad Bhabie went from viral rap sensation to OnlyFans cash cow, and Jane Remover’s Revenge Seekers album, which sits right at the crossroads of the internet and experimental sound. Plus, we talk about the wild new EP from Varg2™ and DJ Smokey, Psychological Musical Warfare 2 , and wrap it up with Justin’s Top 5 — packed with bangers from Carti, Double Virgo, Edward Skeletrix, and more.…

We talk about how the platform highlights artists and storylines that often don’t appear in traditional media, and the ways in which they’ve successfully built a community of passionate followers around niche music. We get into the rise of 2Hollis and his polarizing major label debut album star , the intentions behind how albums are crafted, and how clips of crowd reactions at live shows have become a critical marketing tool in breaking new artists.

We go deep into contemporary New York rap and how pre-drill artists have had a hard time staying relevant as rap shapeshifts in the city. We also get into Fish Narc's excellent new album Frog Song and how his GothBoiClique roots with Lil Peep don't define him but inform a not-so-completely-new, authentic sound.

He joins us from Austin following the launch of his aptly titled newsletter, The Hobbyist , to talk about the best hobby we both indulge in: Golf—with a capital G. We discuss how the culture has co-opted golf in the fashion space while somehow leaving music out of the equation. We also dive into Life Is Beautiful —the new album from Larry June, The Alchemist, and 2 Chainz—and how 2 Chainz steals the show by design. We explore the "playlistification" of our lives in relation to Apple Music's newly launched radio show and playlist called… wait for it… Chill. The show is hosted by none other than the legendary Brian Eno and Apple Music’s resident therapist, Zane Lowe. Will shares insights from his conversations with both hosts about using the show as a means to find peace in the chaos of our lives.

Cambrian Strong can't be boxed in. The Memphis, TN native and co-CEO of Drumatize Music Group with Tay Keith, whom he also manages, comes on the show to talk about how he figured out being of service in the music industry is the way he would build his brand. He tells us how being an athlete in high school gave him his work ethic and despite having a family who all pursued music as a career, he never saw being an artist as a viable path for himself. Instead he explains that his pursuit of advertising, graphic design, and media lead him to where he is today. He tells about Memphis' love for Gucci Mane and how his relationship with Tay Keith developed. We talk about how they took it from the local scene in the city to the masses with BlocBoy JB's "Look Alive" in just one year as a team and then to the moon. He also gets into how they were early on Sexyy Red which blossomed into a partnership with her team. Tap in for all of the above and much more game on this banger.…
