Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.

What is that?
Bullets.

We got JoJo and the big homie from the JoJo and Big Homie Show. Yes, sir.
What's up?
We in the NY.
Yeah, by way of Chicago and Atlanta.
That's right.
They host the night show in Atlanta on 105.3 to beat Monday through Thursday, 7 p.m. to midnight.
So those are our homies from our ATL station.
But Shoski.
Did y'all see Trump when y'all was out there?
Nah, he had something going on crazy at the airport
because the alarms was going off.
Yeah, for sure.
It's called Secret Service.
We didn't see him, but we saw the traffic that he brought to the airport.
Quavo said he was at Magic City.
I don't know if he was at Magic City or not.
Quavo said he seen him at Magic City.
He probably stopped the guy who's the wing.
Nah, the jail is right around the corner from Magic City.
Oh, really?
Yeah, so that's a possibility.
He could have got some wings.
Nah, he was rolling deep, though.
I mean, but he's the president.
God damn, it's called Secret Service, presidential details. He is not was rolling deep, though. I mean, but he's the president. God damn. It's called Secret Service, Presidential Details.
He is not the president.
He is.
I mean, he's not the president.
But he's still a president.
So do the Secret Service do a sweep in the jail?
Like, do they go to the jail, make sure the jail's clear before the president comes down
and they leave?
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
I'm sure they already had proper provisions in place.
I'm trying to figure out how he was only there for 20 minutes.
Because he's the president.
He's white.
The president. Express. First one to second out how he was only there for 20 minutes. Because he's the president. He's white. The president.
First one to take.
Fannie was just being petty.
She was just being petty.
Come here and take this picture.
Yeah, the crazy thing is
he was able to put his own weight
and his own height
in the thing.
And we know that's a damn lie.
Okay.
There's no way in hell

Play it from the beginning, Red.
Just play the beginning back real quick, can you?
It's freaking, freaking, freaking Friday.
I didn't know. I was like, where is this going?
I know, I know.
I thought you said, might be a man.
I just wanted to know where the record was going.
Morning, everybody.
We are DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got some guest hosts, JoJo and the Big Homie Show from the ATL.
You can catch them Monday through Thursday, 7 p.m. to midnight on 105.3 The Beat.
But let's get in some front page news.
Tenslin Figaro.
Good morning, DJ Envy.
Good morning, Charlamagne.
You needed to know where the record identified I guess
That's it
What did this record identify?
Good morning big homie
Good morning family
Good morning
We just need to know where it identified
Good morning Jojo how are you?
Good morning how are you?
Let's jump right into it
Donald Trump he's 6 foot 6 with only 215 pounds
Yeah they said the real crime was reporting 215 pounds.
Somebody on Twitter said, when does the lie stop?
But yesterday, former President Donald Trump was booked at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta,
as we know, on felony charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
I was on the plane at the time, DJ Envy.
I mean, I was just refreshing like everybody else every two minutes uh on on twitter it was hashtag you know mugshot watch and so folks were
waiting on that and they finally did release that mugshot now this is trump's first a fourth
indictment this year but it's the first time he had his mugshot taken you know we talked about
this many many times wondering uh if big fanny was gonna do it and it looks like she absolutely did
it now they said they are taking mugshots of all 19 people charged in the case.
We're going to talk a little bit more about those folks in the second hour,
but that included Rudy Giuliani, who we saw on yesterday, Sidney Powell,
and former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
Now, Trump was released, obviously, not long after he was jailed on a $200,000 bond.
Here is what he had to say.
I really believe this is a very sad day for America.
This should never happen.
If you challenge an election, you should be able to challenge an election.
I thought the election was a rigged election, a stolen election,
and I should have every right to do that.
You know, the interesting thing about all of this,
you know how slim and fit Trump would be if he was 6'3", 215 pounds.
And I know people are making jokes, but the reason mug shots are important because if somebody goes on the run, they need a description.
Correct.
So if you say 6'3", 215, strawberry blonde hair, none of that describes, you know, Donald Trump.
Trump is probably 6'3", and he weighs about Chris Christie.
Yes.
Yeah, absolutely.
But see, the most impressive thing, i don't know if you caught it
you know tesla figaro fly spirit and she said she was you know checking every two minutes so i
didn't even know spirit had wi-fi did you know first of all i fly southwest well i didn't know
southwest had wi-fi did you i didn't yes they do i didn't think she meant she was in the air i
thought they were still taxing me we do have wi, actually, and it is free. Shout out to Southwest Airlines.
That's what was impressive to me.
That's what I caught.
Very impressive.
Charlamagne, you mentioned yesterday they're going to be
selling shirts, and you called that.
They absolutely do have the shirts
up for $34 on the Trump website,
$25 coffee mug,
$15 beer koozies.
The tagline says, never surrender, but technically he did surrender.
You know, going into the take a mug shot is totally surrender.
It's not like it's like Cleo on set it off.
That's what not surrendering is.
I was going to ask, what's protocol?
Because usually they have to weigh you and do your hype.
Why was he just allowed to write it down and keep it moving?
Do we know?
Is it white privilege?
I don't know.
White privilege.
I have no idea.
Maybe we'll have to look into that he's
selling them shirts for cheap though i saw something last night that said they was giving
the shirts away for free to claim your free this is claim your free shirt uh for a limited time
only oh no okay if you make a contribution of 47 yeah donations are more to help defend our
movement from the never-ending witch hunts we'll send you your very own never surrender t-shirt for free boy these people slick it's not free no right donation donation donation
donation i thought i thought they'd have been doing it for 100 47 why didn't this do 45
oh that'd be dope would he be the 47 president yeah if he wins again yeah he'd be 47 wait yeah
because joe biden 46 he'd be 47 he win he be 47 That's right You know what
They smarter than us
That's it
Well I wouldn't say that
But yeah
They some slick people
Y'all can say all you want
Stop acting like
These people ain't good
On social media
And they not good at marketing
They are
That's a good marketing strategy
You think so
Yeah
Yes very much so
I feel like people
I feel like
A couple black people
Might even get a shirt
Oh they doing that anyway
Of course
They love his team
Way too much
You ain't see the niggas For Trump Literally They call blacks for Trump A couple black people might even get a shirt. Oh, they're doing that anyway. Of course. Their love for Tim is way too much. Yeah, I was.
You ain't see the niggas for Trump?
Literally?
They're called blacks for Trump.
No, they were called niggas for Trump.
Really?
They were on a shirt.
Yeah, it was on a shirt.
It was on a shirt.
But I don't think all the people was black.
Some of them looked like they was like,
doing makeup.
Really?
Yeah, they looked disguised.
Yes, I'm telling you.
I was seeing the picture and I was like,
yo, this does not look like a real black person.
All right, well that is front page news. Tezlin news Teslin Figaro we'll see you in a couple of minutes

your chest 800-585-1051
if you need to vent phone lines are wide open
again 800-585-1051

it's a Friday it's The Breakfast Club good morning
The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, good morning, Breakfast Club.
This is D.U.
What's up, U?
Get it off your chest.
Hey, how you doing, Envy?
I'm good, brother.
Huh?
I'm good, brother. How you feeling?
Hey, what's up, Chalamet?
Good morning, the guest host, Big Homie Jojo.
I'm just calling to talk
about the statement Trump made as far as
contesting an election. Yes, you
do have a right to contest an election, but the way
you went about it is all the way criminal.
Stop trying to confuse
the people about, you know, you
have a right to contest an election.
You sent your whole clan, your clan
to the Capitol.
Like, stop it, man.
That's all, man.
Yeah, the crazy thing is he's not confusing his people because his people, you know, refuse to believe the truth anyway.
So his people already believe. Yeah.
His people already believe the narrative he already put out there, so.
Absolutely, man.
Well, y'all have a blessed weekend, man.
Good day.
And in day.
Yo.
That's right.
Blow that horn. Have a good one, y' Good day. And in day. Yo. That's right. Blow that horn.
Have a good one, y'all.
All right, brother.
I like the horns from the trucks.
He likes when guys f*** him in the morning.
I know.
I didn't say that.
We all have our things.
I was going to say.
Like a lot of guys like you in the morning.
JoJo and Big Homie are here, our guest co-hosts.
Hello, who's this?
Oh, welcome from Jersey.
How you guys doing on this beautiful Friday?
What's up, brother?
Get it off your chest.
A lot of people are overthinking this Trump thing and saying that, well, it's not right
to arrest and charge and potentially jail an ex-president.
But the other thing beside it is, if you let him go, you set a precedent that if you're
an ex-president or a six present you committed crime
You can totally resolve for me
You'll never receive jail time and then in essence we become like a fight them like we have a king
Okay, you can do whatever you want and no matter what it is probably except for murder
And that the king won't have to do any jail time. So that's one of the other important aspects of this.
Also, Tanya Willis, we got to make sure we put a net around her spiritually,
hell, maybe even physically, just to make sure that nothing happens to our sister.
If she should trip and fall and break her neck, we need to be out there, not necessarily raising Cain, but just making sure that everything,
there's no chicanery
going on.
That's an old
school word.
But I fear and I
respect, well not
fear, but it's just
the safety in a sense
because there are
some crazies out
there.
Right.
You're absolutely
right, but man,
there's a lot of
people out there
that love Young
Thug and YSL and
they like, if she
don't pardon them,
you know what I
mean, they don't
really care about
what she's doing
with Old Thug and
OCL.
Free Thug. See what I'm mean? They don't really care about what you're doing with Old Thug and OCL. Free Thug.
See what I'm saying?
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Evan.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.

For self-preservation and protection.
It was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.

Okay.
For free.
What?
That's a matter.
Is it a gift?
Is it a gift?
Not a gift because it was free?
You got that from the station.
But that's the beauty of having a son who's a radio host.
That's the beauty of having relationships.
That's right.
No, you're right.
You're right.
You're right.
Well, JoJo and Big Homie are here.
They're guest hosting with us.
And let's jump right into the rumors.
Yeah.
Let's go.
You created a platform where your opinion doesn't matter.
I'm not controversial.
I just say what the f*** I want to say.
And when Mike come on, he be saying something totally different.
I be calling your ass on it.
Radio different.
Tell us, baby.
This is the Rumor Report.
JoJo and the Big Homies.
JoJo and the Big Homies.
What's up?
You got a booty going again?
On The Breakfast Club.
We in the NY.
Tell me, Steve, how you doing?
How you doing?
We do this. We do this.
We do this, guys.
I'm going to say y'all hard.
That's not a we.
Wow.
That is Taylor made it.
Ain't no we.
That's Taylor.
Taylor get those intros.
Taylor get all her content early.
Ain't no we here.
That's all Taylor.
When did we do that?
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Taylor's a beast.
Yes, she is.
Y'all going to jump into my voice?
I know nobody believes in Taylor.
Oh, I'm sure.
I ain't no weapon. Taylor Beasley got quiet. I'm the beast. Yes, she is. Y'all gonna jump into my voice? I know nobody believes in Taylor. Oh, I'm so like,
I ain't know what happened.
Taylor Beasley got quiet.
I'm the only person who believes in Taylor.
I really hope she understands.
Okay, it's a sad day.
It's a sad day.
Okay.
Because Halle Berry is
to pay $8,000 a month
in child support.
Yes.
Now,
Halle Berry finally
settled her divorce
in custody battle
with her ex-husband.
I think it's Oliver.
Oliver Martinez.
The two will share joint legal custody of their nine-year-old son.
Yeah.
And the ruling states that Halle Berry agreed to pay $8,000 a month.
And she will also pay him 4.3% of any income she receives above $2 million.
All right.
Now, that covers their son's school tuition, uniform, school supplies, and extracurricular
activities. She will also pay back
Martinez for any money spent
on the 2023-
2024 school year.
Jesus Christ. Why you making your face like that?
That man is a pioneer. He needs his own
day. He's a trailblazer.
I mean, if the tables
were turned, he would have to pay that, right?
So since she makes a I mean, if the tables were turned, he would have to pay that, right? So since she makes
a lot more
and the baby
is their baby,
shouldn't they be
splitting it 50-50
like they probably are?
Yeah.
She's giving him
4.3% of any income
she receives, though.
That's kind of like...
No.
So where's the kid
staying at?
Is it joint custody?
You said joint custody.
That's what I was thinking, too.
I was like, who's got primary custody?
Because it sounds like the guy got primary custody based off the numbers of JoJo just right.
But if you have joint custody, where is the baby staying?
It's going to be with the dad.
It's going to be with the dad.
Dad needs a nice house.
Dad needs a million-dollar house, too.
Yeah, because usually how the father lives, they say the mom should be living the same way.
Absolutely.
So the kid, when they go from house to house, house is not like you go from you know beverly hills to the projects yeah it's just interesting that when a man
is on the winning side of one of these cases yeah you know all of a sudden people want to
have discussions about what's not fair when it's a woman that has to i mean a guy that has to give
up twenty thousand dollars a month everybody's like yeah get your money queen i'm so glad that
i am the only female in here right now so I can speak on this.
Because I just...
You don't know what we identify as.
Yeah, you don't know what I identify as.
How dare you?
You're absolutely right.
Because I don't know what y'all got going on.
But the guy, he's an actor.
He makes money.
He ain't booked, man.
He not booked man he not booked
he not booked and busy
so she need to
he not Halle Berry
she need to build up them pockets
he's not Halle Berry
I get that
I mean if he has to get his coins
support your man
I am always
support that bus driver
I'm always toying on this though
because
why
I feel like a man's job
is to protect and provide
so I be like
you know don't dig in her pockets
like that
but then on the other side
I'm like yo fair is fair
it's for the kid.
It's not for him.
It's for the child.
So just because he's not the breadwinner,
he's not the protector and provider.
He's still providing what he can.
Yeah.
He's protecting what he can.
And he's leading that household
as the household needs to be led.
He can lead her money too.
He providing what he getting
out of that $8,000 a month.
Exactly.
Well,
do you,
do you think that this is,
um,
so you guys think that this is fair?
Yes.
It's the law.
This is the fair thing. It's the law. This is a fair thing?
It's the law.
It's not about what's fair, Jules.
You gotta abide by the law.
Okay, it's the law.
Okay, I get that.
Well, Safari, he didn't like it.
He thinks it's a little sassy.
He put out a tweet.
He said, a man getting child support is crazy.
He might as well put on a dress.
Who care what Safari think?
That's true.
Because Safari got his own...
When did he become the social jockey? Safari got... I'm just saying, like... a safari thing he got his own situation he got going on over there he really ain't had no no uh
right he does have his own situation lyrical and biblical sitting up on my pedestal no matter how
you see it i'm the pinnacle it's pitiful you were imbecile if you try to make it physical you end up
critical think it's subliminal you're not no criminal stereotypical safari alone yeah big homie right what do you care
what safari my freestyle was better than that no like what was that
no somebody tell me what that was man safari you know what's so crazy every time safari
rap somebody says what was that yeah safari just need to drop an album called what was that like

Vagina.

Separately, yes, you can.
Blue Face's brother said that his mom taught him how to eat. No.
Perform X.

Yes, perform X.
Somebody's mom teaching you how to be a munch is crazy.
That is wild.
His own mom?
Yes.
His own mom teaching you how to be a munch is crazy.
How does that conversation go?
We need context for this.

Nope. We just got to be potatoes.
Could you imagine that conversation?
First of all, my parents never even taught me about the birds and bees.
I'm still waiting for that conversation.
How does your mom tell you that?
How does that conversation happen?
Y'all need to be asking what birds and bees ever had to do
with sex. No, seriously.
Is it a pollinator? We got to grow up, y'all.
I don't know.
Exactly. That is your rumor report. Thank you, seriously. Is it a pollinator? We gotta grow up, yo. I don't know. Okay. Exactly.
Alright, well that is your rumor report.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest co-hosts, JoJo and Big Homie, of course, from ATL. Sportsbook for details. All right, Tess, welcome back. More Trump and Trump business. Come on, break it down.
More Trump and Trump business. Rico, shout out to everybody in Atlanta and our guest host here from Atlanta.
Did a big yesterday would actually be in the first time we had a president take a mugshot.
Now, we talked a little bit about it in the first hour, but I want to kind of talk about his other defendants as well in that RICO charge. Now, most of them
have already turned themselves in,
but they still have the deadline
for those who have not. At least
11 of the 19 have
turned themselves in, and today, by noon,
everybody has to be turned in
and has to turn themselves in and book,
so we should see some more mugshots
coming on out today as well.
Now, there was also a lot of talk on social media about the black guy for Black Voices for Trump, Willie Lewis Floyd.
He is the only one still in jail.
And the reason for that is he is the only one that did not have a prearranged bond.
And what that means is he will remain.
This is as of yesterday evening.
Something could have changed between then and
now, but he will remain in the Fulton County
Jail until he can appear before a judge
who will be able to
grant him
a bond, to arrange his bond.
But folks are saying that hey, out of everybody
who's still in jail is still the
black guy. What do you guys think about that? Nobody told
Willie how this works? Nobody said, Willie, you
need an attorney, have your attorney call the district like nobody nobody hit willie
or did willie not have the funds to pay for an attorney either or it did willie didn't have it
damn well he didn't unlock that level of privilege yet he ain't upgraded to that level
no what did willie have going on he had he was arrested three months ago in maryland on a federal warrant because it accused
him of aggressively confronting uh two fbi agents with a grand jury subpoena oh he's a menace
like that thug up yep i'll tell you what else too man everyone who didn't um uh take trump's mugshot
previously shame on you shame on you because clearly I thought that you couldn't do that to a former president.
I thought so too.
But clearly you could.
The way they were avoiding it, yeah, I thought they couldn't.
So shame on all those people.
Who, Alvin Bragg?
Who else was it, Taz?
Who were the previous indictments?
Let me just run those indictments back just for clarity.
So we had January 6th case.
We had the Georgia election interference case.
We had the classified document case.
And then the hush money case.
All of those people granted Donald Trump a level of privilege that he didn't even have y'all did that y'all
chose not to treat that man like you treat every every other american citizen salute to fannie
may willis for treating trump and his cronies like uh any other person who gets arrested i don't think
her name is fannie may but we know fannie may don't play you got to put a man fannie may don't
play okay in the atl for sure i'm just trying to figure out what was the big deal of not getting your mugshot taken.
That's my point.
I don't know.
Why is it so?
Why he was like, I don't want my mugshot.
What was the point?
Well, I guess it was them not making him do it.
Fannie Mae Willis made him and all his cronies do it.
Everybody else didn't.
And I think that's disgusting.
Yeah, let me say who that everybody else is uh jack
smith was the special counsel for the because you'd ask who did it uh for the january 6th case
so it was jack smith uh the georgia election interference case obviously we know that's
uh fannie willis and then the classified document case jack smith again uh and then the hush money
case that was the alvin bragg correct. So Alvin Bragg and Jack
Smith you know granted Donald
Trump a level of privilege that he didn't even
have. He should have had mug shots for all of those cases.
Luther Fanny May Willis.
Alright well that is front page news.
Thank you Teslin. Absolutely.

It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Of course, we got our niece Nyla in here with us.
And we got a special guest in the building, the brother Reason.
Welcome.
What's the deal?
You got a new project out called Porches.
Yes. Yes. Can we call this an album? It is. It's an album. Okay. I's the deal? You got a new project out called Portrait. Yes, yes, yes.
Can we call this an album?
It is.
It's an album.
Okay.
I don't like when artists do that.
I hate it.
Yeah, it's an album.
It's fine.
Artists, I'm not going to name his name, but he just dropped.
He dropped maybe last year, and he was like, oh, this is my second album.
I'm like, you got eight projects out.
They're all albums to me.
Who, MBM, boy?
I'm not going to say.
You don't want to say no other artists' names.
I mean, you don't got to say names
because every artist does that.
You can call everybody
from TDE out.
Why can't you say
other artists' names?
Wow, wow, wow.
You're going to start right there?
You call up your own label.
Welcome to the Breakfast Club,
ladies.
What's up?
What's up?
No, but Porches.
Porches is out.
And I like that album
because I love a good porch.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm from the South.
So I love a good porch.
I got a porch now.
So I understand what you mean when you talk about that porch.
Yeah, it's just a product of your environment.
It's really just like a metaphor for your environment.
We're all, you know, we're coming from our environment.
If me and you grow up in similar class, similar place, similar income, we're going to go through similar shit.
And that's kind of like what the album's storyline is about, is realizing the porch that you're on want realizing that you are a product of your environment and yes you can grow on going to do bigger things but
we need to understand and love each other a little bit better knowing that uh we all come from the
same place especially in today's time because we all just kind of point the finger at people when
something crazy happens not understanding exactly like the things that they've gone through and
whatnot because i was a stoop we call it the stupid yeah i'm about to say we ain't got poetry
we got stoops yeah and the outro, it actually says that.
Because I got the homie, shout out Scrap.
He's kind of narrating the album in an older man voice.
And he said that he like New York call it a stoop.
He was like, rich white people, I don't know what they call it.
But they call it something.
You know what I mean?
So yeah, same thing.
I love these kind of albums, man.
Because I love a project that I'm listening to.
And then I got to look down at the track list to know what this song is.
Because it's so cohesive
yeah you know is that purposely done of course it is it definitely is um i came i started making
this album um the idea behind it um on my last album new beginning so the last album ended with
um a plethora of dates being said um and then this album picks up with those dates being said
and now you're hearing the stories behind those dates so these are real stories that happen they
were real dates like some of these things you can google because
they actually happen so it was definitely one of those things i wanted to always wanted to make a
full-blown cohesive album that people could listen to from front to back i was always one of my
things on the bucket list but i will say it was way more work than i thought it was gonna be like
halfway through i was like i don't know if i want to do this no more making out making like it's a
connect all the way through like it's a connect
all the way through
like there's a lot more
especially in today's time
yeah where everybody
just kind of like
has the playlist albums
lost art
I mean people don't do it no more
like with the skits
and everything
you know
very lost art
yeah
and so it takes a lot of
if you want to do it right
it takes a lot of coordination
it takes a lot of time
and making sure that you don't
miss any gaps
or details
or you know making sure the aesthetic of it.
Like we brought in the Foley guy to do the all the sound effects and stuff like that.
And it just takes a lot more work than I, you know, thought I was kind of getting myself into.
Well, if you had guidance from other TDE people, because if you wasn't alienating everybody.
Is this where you want to go?
Is that what it is?
Talk to people that have done this before.
Okay, this is the camp that does it a lot.
Kendrick does it a lot, even though he's not there.
So people would ask, what's your relationship with TDA?
Is there a problem?
Is Charlamagne saying you don't accept the guidance?
What's the situation like?
Don't accept the guidance is crazy.
I'm always willing to accept guidance.
But no, it's that entire situation.
That was a conversation that me and Moo have had behind closed doors a a lot it was just one of those things that it probably shouldn't
have been well not probably it definitely just shouldn't have been out in the public you know
what i mean but it's a lot of misconceptions about that like because it happened there's a
misconception that musa didn't think this album was quality musa loves this album like he helped
me pick some of the records you get i'm saying and so um it was just one of those things that
got so nasty and so ugly publicly that now everything is a thing.
Like everything is a headline.
The release party became a headline.
That's your fault, though.
That was my fault.
That was my fault.
I'll take accountability.
You came to my release party.
Yeah, I was asked, was this a weird week that you had to be around people?
I'm like, I didn't really have to be around nobody because I had a release party.
They didn't come.
But I didn't.
Well, I did explain, but that's not in the clip.
We had a listening party the week before that the label put together and then my release party i put it together like for the homies and family and because everything was
happening they just gave me space on it so it was one of those things where i was like i shouldn't
have said that you get i'm saying the cole kendrick thing was wild too there was no that wasn't wild
there was no reason for that reason for people that don't know what he said.
For people that don't know what he said.
He said that when Cole drops his next project, he's going to surpass Kendrick.
I didn't say that.
That's what I'm saying.
No, I said when Cole drops his next project, he will be bigger.
Not bigger than Kendrick.
He'll be a lot bigger.
I said he's doing a lot more current things.
I think he'll see the fruits of his labor.
I said I think Dot is bigger right now, but I think Cole's going to grow a lot.
I don't know who's going to be bigger,
and I really don't care.
Like, both of these niggas are like gods to me.
Like, I don't really get into the argument
of who's the biggest out of Drake, Cole, and Dot.
How big can he get? Pause.
I mean, it's supposed to be his last album.
I think that he's going to go out with a bang.
If it is his last album, we know how that shit is going to go.
It won't be. But I don't know. If there's anybody I think got to stand on their word, I think it he's gonna go out like with a bang if it is this last album we know how that shit go but I don't know if there's anybody
I think that'll stand
on their word
I think it's Cole
where did the
Bigger Than Kendrick
thing come from
because
what headlines
that's crazy
you know what
all I saw was the headlines
yeah
you talk about everybody
only being the headlines
and you only being the headlines
you know why though
because Reason
been out here saying
about T-Biz
shooting the TV so much
I was like damn
Reason
again I ain't even been shooting at so much i was like damn reason again
i ain't even been shooting at them like that man like i i just i said my truth my truth for me was
that i wanted to be more consistent i wanted to put out more music that was what i was again that's
your fault consistency is on you that's what i'm saying is i don't that's that's not my truth and
i don't want to you know because when i go into detail it's like it looks like i'm like smearing
the label i don't want to do that but that's not my truth i don't think it's my fault they don't
want you to drop mixtapes or nothing?
It's TDE.
It's just the way that they do things.
It's not as simple as just make a project, put it together, turn it in, and it's out.
Trust me.
I make a lot of music.
I just backed up my hard drive.
I had 1,300 records.
I'm not an artist that don't work.
That's not a thing.
They don't even want you to drop your own music.
Let's say, hey, I just want to release this mixtape or whatever it is.
They're telling you they don't even want you to do that.
It's just same destination, different roads.
That's where we run into our issues.
We all have the same destination that we want to get to.
We just see different paths of getting there.
That can cause frustration.
I see a path that we can do this and do it this way.
Sometimes they see it that way
and it ultimately,
you know what I mean,
can kind of clash at times.
What if you drop music
under like another name,
like Explanation?
This guy's stupid.
So silly.
What's wrong with him, man?
But you do feel like
y'all have the common goal
of winning, though.
I think, yeah,
that's what I mean
when I said there was
a lot of misconceptions.
Like, it was like,
because that got so nasty publicly, it was almost like the conception was that like
i feel like they don't want me to be successful and that they feel like i'm not a good artist
which that's not it but that was just bad because it was public we've had way worse
than that you get i'm saying and i think if i would have responded on the spot and went back
at him i think it would have been like one of the conversations we've had behind closed doors and that was part of the reason why i just shut up even though it
was hard because i didn't want it to get any worse than it already was i feel like it overshadowed
the album slightly because slightly yeah yeah everybody's talking about reasons issues with
tde as opposed to the music yeah yeah and that's it's it's weird it's like a double-edged sword
like it gave more eyes to the album like if didn't nobody know i was dropping the album that friday they knew after that but
it also like you said it it created a different conversation instead of having a conversation
about the music but the people that have listened to it like my feedback has been incredible like
it's especially from all of my fans that's been waiting for me they're like this is by far your
best work well worth the wait you know that just goes into like all the work that i put in but that was an annoying thing it's like now this is what we're talking about instead of
you know the visuals instead of the storyline instead of us you know announcing the tour we're
kind of waiting you know for it to die down a little bit like i would have rather just kind
of like go straight through with the music all right when we come back we got more with reason
it's the breakfast club good Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club
on this Friday,
reminding you of my car show.
My two-day car show
is this weekend
at the Meadowlands Expo Center
in Jersey,
like 15 minutes from Manhattan.
It's a family fun day.
Cars, rides, and everything.
We're still kicking it
with Reason.
He's here from TDE.
His album is out right now.
But what made you sign with tde because you
know a lot of artists sign a tde because they say they got artists i can work with i can collaborate
with they have producers that i can work with they have a stream for me to get heard and out what
was your reason of signing with td and what did you expect yeah um a little a little all of those
things but basically it was the lakers i'm from the i'm from la and that that's the lakers for us
you know what i mean and so uh when i when i signed i did want to come in and work with
kendrick and q and have this you know super cohesive family relationship the same that i
grew up on watching um and i think that that's not their fault that was just me being like naive
it's like signing to the lakers you're like oh i'm about to go work out with kobe and this and
then you realize like kobe don't work out with that just signed to the team like he don't even know if you're gonna steal
you know what I'm saying like and so it was kind of like that was my expectation like oh I'm gonna
get in with Soundwave and I'm uh you know what I mean like and it was really like no you're you're
still signing to a label and like now the work begins and I even talk about that uh on the album
on Gang how like I I thought that this was what it was gonna be um that's what that record is about
is me taking the accountability like I thought that this was what it was gonna be um that's what that record is about is me taking the accountability like I thought that this was what the situation was gonna be now that I'm here
I realize it's not but it's love from like I have a great relationship with majority of the artists
it's weird we live in a time now where when you tell the truth it sounds like you're like speaking
down on some you know what I mean like I said I don't have a relationship with SZA everybody took
that as like that was like bad thing I'm like well do the artists at Atlantic have relationships with Cardi B every artist at Atlantic don't got a relationship with Cardi. Everybody took that as like, that was like, bad thing. I'm like, well, do the artists at Atlantic have relationships
with Cardi B? Every artist at Atlantic
don't got a relationship with Cardi B. It's because of the perception that
the general public has of labels.
Big labels are family. No, of small labels.
Smaller labels. Like TDE,
they say with Bad Boy, I'm sure they seen it with Roc-A-Fella,
I'm sure they seen it with Death Row, so it's
small labels. I know you broke down some of those
lyrics, because you was telling me some of those lyrics.
You just said it, but okay, a few things. Do you you feel like the issue between or the differences between you and td
is just patience on your behalf like you just got i think i think it's a little bit of both um
i would say it's partly patience but then as well like my last album was three years ago
i don't necessarily think that that's all patience like i don't know an up-and-coming
artist that can consistently move with three-year gaps consistently within their music.
If this was how it was going to go for the next 10 years, it's like, so yes, patience, because I do got to wait for things to get right.
But it's also like, we also do kind of got to catch up with what the times are now, which is, it has to be a little bit faster.
I can't remember what song it was, but it was a song on the album where you're talking about how your family thinks you got so much money and you done changed.
Gang shit.
That's the first verse.
So the first verse is about, I thought that it was family.
I thought it was supposed to be gang shit.
And look at how y'all act now that I'm in this situation.
You think I got all this money.
You think I have all this fame and stuff like that.
But that's not really how my life is.
And look at how you're acting now.
And the climax of the verse is my family member yelling at me, calling me reason.
And I'm like, I thought you knew me as Rob.
My entire life you called me Rob.
Like, why are you now calling me reason?
That came from a real place.
Like, I got family members that call me reason.
It's weird.
Like, I've known you since I was two.
They probably think you got way more than what you got.
Way more than what I got.
Way busier than what I got.
They say things like, oh, you know, I was going to text you, but I thought that, you know, I figured you would be busy.
Like, why did you just assume i'm too busy to text
you now because i'm quote unquote reason like that's you know i mean crazy to me so yeah that's
sad um but i do want to start with just the intro of the projects um we're talking about porches
but in it you talk about how you guys all are connected through the porches but also they feel
kind of like entitled to what you got going on good or bad
yeah yeah how do you break that are you it's it's less of like entitled it's more about this is kind
of what comes with it and the reason why i wanted to highlight that in the intro is because on every
single hip-hop album we always hear people talk about the negative stuff that went on in their
neighborhood it's always i'm from the hood die chalk outlines blah blah blah but for me i wanted
to highlight that there's great things
that come with that too there's persistence you know what i mean my there's there's my sister
taught me to be brave and take leaps on things that i want in life you get i'm saying like my
mom taught me rationality my pops hustled he taught me how to hustle like there's great things
that come from being with those places and all of those things kind of come into it instead of us
just only highlighting like the negative stuff on broken winter break you say i was born in this machine some is still
in it how did you find your way out honestly i went to school in iowa which is crazy to say i
played basketball and um i was out there with all the white people in iowa and that was like a
culture shock um i had never been coming from where i was from i didn't have a white relationship in
my life until i went out there i'm being i know that sounds crazy I didn't have a white relationship in my life until I went. I know that sounds crazy.
I didn't have a white.
I'm being dead ass here.
Before I went to college, I didn't have a white relationship in my life.
There was nobody that I talked to in any type of consistent format that was white.
And then I went to Iowa and there were three black people in my school, including me.
You know what I mean?
And so that just gave me a different perspective of how life is and understanding that everything isn't so vain and in this box and whatnot.
You know what I mean?
And so it made me grow up a lot.
And then when I came back, I was just like, no, I want to do more because I've seen a little bit of the world.
You know what I mean?
So, yeah, just put a different perspective on me.
Is Broken Winter Break based off a true story?
Like the story you tell?
Yeah, it's about my homeboy, but I didn't want to put his name in there.
But my homeboy came back off of a winter break.
You could tell that he was a little bit different of a person.
Ended up getting robbed.
And it's about the mindset of, you know, you come back home, you get robbed.
He's not really tripping because he's just like, I don't really care about this shit.
But he's feeling pressured as a man from his neighborhood that we got to go get it back.
And so he has to put on this front like, yo, I'm with whatever.
But really in his mind, he's like, I don't want to do like this stupid i don't want to do it but then ultimately at the
end the story is really about his little brother that's sitting there on the porch watching all
this because his little brother is seeing it and this is what his little brother grows up to be
and then later on the album you have bussing slash it says wb part two but that's winter break part
two and so bussing is the little the little boy when he's older you get i'm saying that so now
he's on a whole different mindset because this is all that he saw.
Now talk to me about Caucasian Estates because you said you hated white people.
See, like, my headlines are going crazy.
I do not hate white people.
I don't hate white people.
Reasons do not like white people.
So Caucasian Estates is like, what is that, mansions?
Yeah, so it starts with me describing the porch,
and then the next record is Caucasian Estates.
And there's a date set in there, which is July 2017.
That's when I met Musa.
And basically the mindset is, as soon as niggas get a little bit of money,
that's the first thing we want to do is get a better car
and go live in a white neighborhood.
So it's Caucasian Estates.
We want to go live in a...
And so it's like a braggy, cocky song,
because that's how I felt when I met Musa and I was about to sign with TD.
I'm like, I'm going to have all the money, all the women.
I'm about to go get me a crib out here i'm about to drive and that's how your mind
automatically is so yeah that's caucasian estates i know we're talking about you putting together a
cohesive project and having skits and i love that but i gotta say i do hate some of your skits
because like it i just don't like the way you painted the women saying like there's always a
who could take care of us and all that yeah that's not i mean that's always the case it's not always the case that's just like the truth of what
i grew up around like that was like not not like like my sister and my close friends but like that's
kind of like the women when i grew up like the women's attitude was like you know what one man
won't do for you another man will and that was kind of like the way that they they carried
themselves but there's also a woman in the group that she's the one that's like,
she wants to stay with her dude.
Yeah, she got hope.
You get what I'm saying?
And that was about my homegirl.
I had a homegirl that she was just a hopeless romantic.
She always, no matter how much her friends was like that,
she was like, I do have hope that I'll find a man that, you know what I mean,
can actually be that man.
So for me, that was like, it was my truth.
It was what I saw.
How do you feel when the women you use for skits ask you for scissor tickets and you can't get it yo shut up man i can get scissor tickets man i just you know i might not be able to you know
go on stage no i'm joking i'm juggling i'm joking before they take that out of context but yes i can
get scissor tickets okay her show, actually. You are such a troll. My goodness.
I thought you were asking me to get Kendra tickets.
That was crazy.
That was crazy.
All right, we got more with Reason.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Reminding you, one day left to my car show.
My car show is this weekend.
Cars, rides, games, family fun.
Kids five and under are free can't wait
to see you this weekend but we got a special guest in the building you know i'm from tde
reason is here charlamagne why'd you call gina august alcina in perversity it's a fun record
and i'll say on kookas like august alcina i just like the line so i just called it yeah i called
it august alcina that's probably like my favorite story that's broken in like the last 10 years i love the entire like the entire will smith walk i want a documentary on that that entire situation is
just like the most fascinating thing to me like any because it's just like will smith is like the
guy like he's fresh prince like he's like and so i look at things in different perspectives like
everybody else saw it as like damn i can't believe you slapped i'm like there's a story there like
he ain't just slap him because of that night like there's something there that's like
trauma there's a lot of yeah you know what i mean and you know his wife being on the show and talking
about everything and the pot like they should do a documentary on that like that's a very very
interesting story and i feel like people just focus on the climaxes of the story but i'm like
it's a lot to unfold there like that's literally my favorite story if they're all healed if that
if that family's healed if the if the family's yeah if the family's i don't think that story becomes a
story without that red table talk with will and jay i agree i don't think i agree nowhere near
but even but even that is there's something to unpack there it's like why is that conversation
happening on red table talk there's something behind there's something there that's like
that's allowing that to get out you get i'm saying to be a thing you don't like to see like things that should be private public yeah yeah yeah yeah
similar to the the yeah you know i got where you're going
i love too much too the melly melly mal yeah yeah yeah who's melly mal to you that's the homie uh
we used to call him melly mail um i don't want to put his whole government out there but i went to
high school with him.
And he went to a party.
He was like top 10 running back in the nation.
Went to a party, got into a fight.
A guy got killed.
And, you know, he knew the person that did it,
but he got arrested for it.
And so he sat in jail for a year and his entire life changed.
Lost all of his scholarships.
Like major setback, but he felt like he couldn't.
Of course, where we from, you can't tell who did it.
So you just got to kind of sit until the whole thing plays out um and even that story that's
one thing i like about all the stories on the album is that there's two stories in it it's what
happened to melvin but then it's also about black men and how we handle our issues because the other
story behind it is when i called him and he was in jail and i asked him how he was doing he just
said he was fine and it's like that's another thing it's like we we don't talk about the shit
that we're going through so it's a two-folded conversation in that and i remember thinking like there's no way he
could be like this this whole life is completely gone like he was headed to the nfl and now
he don't know where he going you know what i mean and so but he was just always like no i'm cool
like you know it is what it is and i could just tell that it affected him and the other thing
with that song is like there's no reward for real yeah there's there's no it's no it's no
like like like pot of gold at the end of that you get i'm saying like it's snitch you sat in jail
for you came home to what yeah like you said it's no reward for that but honestly if he was to really
open up and tell you how he really feels you think like you'd be able to handle it i would but i do
understand what you're saying but i think it's less about that i think it's more about like black
men just aren't taught that like like we're taught from a young age like life ain't fair get over it
don't complain don't cry suck it up yeah we're taught that from a young so i think it's less
about the person receiving i think it's more about the fear of like i look weak if i talk about it
like i look like less of a man i look like i'm complaining like i say this all the time my home
girls i'm like girls night is the healthiest in the world y'all just gather up drink wine and just complain which is like getting things off your chest you're
unpacking you're unloading and then y'all have fun and then you leave there feeling lighter than
like guys don't have that we get together like like i had a homie that i went to uh watch a
game with we were in the bar for like three hours watching the game and we talked about sports for
three hours i leave the bar i figure out that like his his girl about to damn near put him he
about to damn near lose his family we ain't talking about that for the whole three hours. I leave the bar. I figure out that like his girl about to damn near put him away. He about to damn near
lose his family.
We ain't talk about that
for the whole three hours.
We just talking about LeBron
and how LeBron is the greatest
person in the NBA.
And it's like we don't
unpack those things
because we're taught that
you can't talk to another
man about it.
If you talk to your girl
about it, you look weak.
So it's like where do you
go with it?
You just kind of turn
to different vices.
And I've been there.
Charlamagne doesn't feel
that way by the way.
He thinks of Steph Curry.
You said LeBron.
What's your thoughts?
What do you mean?
I think Steph is top five
of all time.
I think he's got...
Yeah, okay, yeah.
I got him at three.
Yeah, I got him at four.
I got Jordan, Kobe,
Steph, LeBron, and Magic.
You got them before LeBron?
Yes.
You're crazy.
I got Kobe at one,
Jordan at two,
LeBron at three,
Steph at four,
and I got Shaq at five.
But clearly I'm biased
because that's a lot of...
And history is going to show that LeBron
and Steph met up in
NBA Finals. Yep. What, four times?
Yeah, four times. Four times. Yeah.
And Steph won. He's 3-1 against LeBron
in NBA Finals. That matters. It does matter,
but at the same time, he had KD.
So what? He didn't always have KD?
The championship thing is weird, though.
It's not all about championships. It's about a lot of other stuff, too.
It's about all the accolades.
I feel like LeBron is the most accomplished basketball player of all time.
I feel like that does matter.
When you say accomplished, what do you mean accomplished?
All of the accolades, all of the accomplishments that he's done,
the scoring, like where he is at in the scoring list.
Assists, rebounds.
That's that, though.
When I think accomplishments, I mean, he's got a lot of those.
Even the all-NBA teams, all-stars, MVP, like he's accomplished.
Like he's the most.
How many final appearances?
Michael Jordan's got six finals MVPs, bro.
That's fine, but he don't have as many accomplishments.
That has to do with a team.
I'm talking about all of your accomplishments.
That has to do with you as an individual.
Michael Jordan's stat sheet is crazy.
You think Michael Jordan's stats are better than LeBron James?
Maybe that stat, but accolades, when you put all the accolades my bad my bad yeah my my my i'm sorry yeah let's
get back to them i don't want to put you out much let's go back to something you're talking about
yeah yeah therapy that's why i'm so big on therapy right because people that go to therapy have no
problem having those conversations like when you talk about these women having girl nights out it's
because a lot of them already go to therapy they're already seeking healing so it's easy for them to have these
conversations amongst each other yeah i noticed with my guys that people around me that are
already in therapy and seeking some healing we have no problem having those conversations for
sure i agree but i think women are doing that before they even get into therapy i think women
are naturally just better at talking about their feelings and it's because of how we're brought up like i remember as a kid like going through stuff and my dad being like
like suck it up stop crying like and that's not a knock at him he just doing what he was taught
you know what i mean but i vividly remember being balled up with rage and not knowing how to express
it and my dad's thing was like stop crying like but also you also feel like you don't want to
look weak yeah and that was his thing he was like you're gonna look weak if you cry like stop crying. But also, you also feel like you don't want to look weak. Yeah, and that was his thing. He was like, you're going to look weak if you cry.
Like, stop crying.
Like, suck it up.
Like, I'm like, but that ain't fair.
Like, life ain't fair.
Like, get over it.
You know how many things ain't fair for me?
Like, that's how I was brought up.
You know what I mean?
If I come up here and cry,
some of them are going to call me a beige bitch.
Yeah, exactly.
They're going to talk about you being a light skin.
That is not true.
My dad is a light skin.
I've seen it.
That is not true.
See, I've seen it.
That was back in the day, though.
When he do be crying over some bulls**t.
See?
See?
Some stuff don't even have to cry over. See? Yous. See? Some stuff doesn't need to cry over.
See?
You know.
See?
I'm just saying.
Yeah, we got to be able to express ourselves a little bit better.
I was reading some comments online, Twitter, YouTube,
and they're saying that your album is one of their favorite albums of the year
right next to Mike.
Killer Mike.
Yeah.
How does that feel?
Which is a crazy compliment because I love Killer Mike's album.
But I felt that way, and I felt that way before it was dropped.
And not because it's my album, but I also felt that way because it's been a light year for rap.
It just hasn't been that great.
I do think the second half of the year is about to be stacked.
I know Drake's dropping.
But I felt like when I'm listening to all the albums and they're coming out, I'm like, oh, no.
I'm going to have probably one of the better albums in rap this year.
You know what I mean?
But for people to put it next to Killer Mike's, that's a huge compliment because that was my favorite album this year like when
that dropped i was like nah like this is that's the that's the goal that's the year that was like
that was the one so yeah now that's been like the the craziest compliment for sure for sure i love
that yeah well i actually just want to say this michael jordan has six championships
six finals mvps like I told you,
five regular season MVPs, one defensive player of the year,
ten scoring titles, one rookie of the year, one Hall of Fame.
LeBron has four championships, four MVPs, four regular season MVPs,
one scoring title, one rookie of the year.
MJ played against Bums.
All right, stop it now.
I want to play music back and forth.
Did he say Bums?
MJ played against Bums.
You forget we played against him?
He played against Bums.
You can't name five high-level wings that he played against.
People talk about Reggie Miller.
Reggie Miller's a bum compared to Klay Thompson.
Like, Klay Thompson's better than Reggie Miller.
It's just a different level of...
Reggie Miller was a beast.
We need to wash him off with soap, young man.
Why are you doing this?
Bro, it wasn't...
Why are you doing this?
Back then, it was bigs.
It wasn't wings.
Now it's wings.
Like, Bron and them have played against just better.
They played against better talent.
That's my whole thing.
I want reason to leave now.
Reason, we appreciate you for joining us, brother.
We're going to play gang s*** right now.
Yeah, let's play gang s***.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I create my own country, my forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullet holes.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.

We are The Breakfast Club.
We got JoJo and Big Homie there, our guest co-host this morning.
And it's time to get to the rumors.
Let's go.
Let's go.
You created a platform where your opinion doesn't matter.
I'm not controversial.
I just say what the f*** I want to say.
And when Mike come on, he be saying something totally different.
I be calling your ass home.
Radio different.
This is The Rumor Report. be saying something totally different i'd be calling your ass on radio different this is the rumor report
on the breakfast club
all right so fat joe denied drake's request to be on All The Way Up. All right, so...
What?
Yeah, so Fat Joe recently appeared on an episode of the Rap Radar podcast.
During the interview, he spoke on Drake practically begging
to be featured on All The Way Up
and why he decided not to let him do the verse.
We have audio for that.
Drake FaceTimed me three times trying to get on all the way up middle of the
night send me the instrument to send me the instrument to i wish i would have got drake on
but the fact of all the history of me and jay-z i was like it gotta be just me and jay-z and it's
the last time drake ever asked me to do a song. But nah, man. Drake got my forgiving beat out of it.
Nah, Drake got to forgive me, huh?
I'm like, damn, man, please.
Throw me a Frisbee.
But yeah, it's true.
All the way up was that big that we had the best.
You know, 50 Cent was everybody you could name who's a monster was hitting us up like,
yo, send the pro tools.
That wouldn't have stepped on the j moment
though i mean drake well the jay didn't happen joe right the jay was on the remix yeah what was
the record because all the way up it was j it was drake i mean uh remy ma remy ma and jay z
all the way up okay was all the way up because it was a double record uh yeah french martin was in
the hook.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, because there was another record that Fat Joe had Jay on.
And then, remember he sent me the record?
And then they pulled it back.
Jay didn't want to use that verse.
That's what I thought it was.
Remember, I played you the record.
I don't think you're supposed to be saying that.
Wow.
Big mouth.
Big beige mouth.
Pause.
See, there you go.
That's very descriptive. I don't even know.
The thing is, though, it kind of reminds me of like, I mean, you snooze, you lose.
You snooze.
Is that what they say?
But that was a bold thing for Fat Joe to do because 2016 Drake was different.
Well, I mean, Drake be different every year, but 2016 Drake was at his peak.
Yeah, but it was Fat Joe and Jay, and they've had known beef and known problems.
And I think that was the first record that they were going to be on together.
So he wanted that Jay look.
It was just the better fit. It was a better look, they were gonna be on together. So he wanted that J look
It was a better better. I guess at that time. Okay. Well, um, that was from the rap radar podcast to we said that right? Yes, right radar podcast. Yeah, see Elliot, but Elliot. I just want to say Elliot be acting like we don't be playing his clips
He thinks he's the only person that be supporting folks out here because he repost on Instagram like every other blog page does
Yeah, so, you know.
Reiterating.
I just want to reiterate.
You could have just said
it's from the Rap Radar podcast.
No, I need to let him.
He needs to know.
Yeah, he needs to know.
We've had this conversation
off air,
so I just want to say it.
But when they go low.
Oh, this is personal.
I go to the floor with him.
I breakdance.
Okay, I know that's right.
That's like this one right here.
But Polo G has been arrested.
So Polo G's brother,
Trench Baby, invited an unidentified
Man to the house to film a music video
But when he got there
Trench Baby pulled a gun out on him
And robbed him despite the fact that they
Previously worked together
Trench Baby was charged with armed robbery
And Polo G was charged for illegal possession
Of a firearm
So you're the brother
And you're the one robbing people?
You're robbing a videographer?
Tough guy card.
Well, see, we gotta know.
We gotta say allegedly.
We gotta see what happened.
It could have been, maybe the guy
took footage.
They got it, got it. So I'm sure it's a misunderstanding.
But he might have took some footage
that wasn't proper and they said he stole he stole it but gotta say allegedly allegedly yeah because
you don't know what happened because if you if somebody comes to your house shoots a music video
let's just say you don't want your house in the music video and i take that so you take the
footage that can be considered you know robbery if the person goes to report hey this guy just
took x y and z for me wow you. I don't know if that would happen.
I'm just saying, you know.
I don't believe that story is what I'm saying.
Well, Polo G was released on bond,
and then he was arrested again for an alleged kidnapping,
then released on bond.
I don't believe any of this.
That is a lie.
He's going through a lie right now.
Well, an alleged kidnapping.
Who did he allegedly kidnap?
They don't say who he allegedly kidnapped.
The Mercury Retrograde is killing Polo G right now.
Probably the person who... I don't say who he allegedly kidnapped. The Mercury Rental gang is killing Polo G right now. Probably the person who
got the footage taken.
I don't know.
I don't believe any of this.
Polo G got it, got it.
Like they got it.
They're successful.
I can't see them
robbing anybody
or taking anything.
So that's why we say
allegedly.
Robbing and kidnapping.
Absolutely not.
I don't see it.
We'll say allegedly.
Angel Reese,
she has decided to take
online classes.
For those who may not
know who she is,
if you don't,
you're under a rock.
But LSU basketball star, superstar, Andrea Reese.
She did an interview with Team Vogue about her sudden rise to fame.
And she decided to take online classes because she's getting too much fame on campus.
So she just thinks it's more peaceful if she just stays off campus.
Off campus.
Yeah.
She actually said, this is her actual quote.
She said, I didn't think I was going to be on the shade room every time I post something.
I don't feel like I'm a celebrity, but I think a lot of people look at me as a celebrity now because of the impact that I've had on not just women's basketball, but sports in general and black women.
Things have changed for me.
Okay.
That's interesting
i wonder what's changed you know so much because you know she is famous now but it's not like lsu
hasn't had super famous people she killed one deal with the lsu yeah but joe burrow went to lsu
angel angel reese is the most famous women's basketball player on the planet social media
is also different like way different now i don't even think it existed when she was pregnant like
joe burrow was just there a couple of years ago.
Joe Burrow won a Heisman Trophy.
He won the national championship as a senior.
He was the number one pick.
He might have liked that attention, though.
That's true, too.
Yeah, but she's in magazines and she's in music videos.
She's the biggest women's basketball player on the planet and still in college.
But like you said, they might have liked that attention.
She might not have liked that attention.
She might just want to go
and do her job,
do her class,
and get out.
And maybe people are coming
asking for pictures
and selfies,
and she's like,
you know what,
let me just concentrate on me.
Yeah, everybody thinking
about their own
social media platforms.
Exactly.
They probably don't even
look at her like a person.
They just look at her
as content.
Oh, exactly.
She's a prop.
Yeah, and ain't nobody
trying to do that,
especially if you're in school.
You're trying to learn.
She can't get caught doing nothing, digging in her nose, pulling a wedgie out. And ain't nobody trying to do that, especially if you're in school. You're trying to learn. She can't get caught doing nothing.
Digging in her nose,
pulling a wedgie out.
Somebody get that on video,
it's going to make a blog.
Yeah.
Anybody got time for that.
Anybody got time for that.
Also,
Glorilla,
she got some attention online
for a sexual post.
Oh, God.
So,
Glorilla took the attention
off of her Toxic 20s conversation
and brought all the heat on herself
when she posted a personal picture
of her Instagram.
In a slide of five pictures yesterday the last picture she posted is a video of her seemingly receiving oral uh sex on the balcony so um yeah um some comments called her
tasteless and others supported her saying that the pic is a vibe so the pic is like her she got her legs up
and then uh she got like a dude i guess in between her legs we don't know if they're really actually
doing it or if she's just taking freaky freaky freaky friday yeah so you know it's just a it's
a little post i didn't see the picture but i know nowadays if you identify as a vibe you can get
away with anything yeah we call it the vibe that's right that's the vibe what does that mean i have no idea if you identify as a vibe though or identify it as a vibe you can

disrespects our flag, to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out. He's fired.
He's fired. Trump, please step up to the congregation. Yes, you are a dog.
When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.
They're bringing drugs.
They're bringing crime.
They're rapists.
These are jackass.
Yes, dog here today for Friday, August 25th.
Close to the former celebrity in chief, Donald J. Trump. Ask not why Donald J. Trump is getting the biggest hee-haw today.
Ask what did he do to get the biggest hee-haw today. Ask what did he do
to get the biggest hee-haw today?
See, we are gathered here today at
Hee-Haw Missionary Baptist to give Donald J.
Trump the credit he deserves for being
insecure. Let me
tell you something, man. A few years ago, there was a great article
in The Atlantic written by Tom Nichols. Drop
on a clues bomb for Tom Nichols.
Don't know him, but I love that article. It's called
Donald Trump, the most unmanly president. Damn. tom asked a lot of great questions in this article but the most
important one to me is why don't the president's supporters hold him to their own standard
of masculinity uh on this friday august 25th i need to know because yesterday donald trump got
booked in fulton county jail he was made to go through the whole process of booking in jail including a mugshot sidebar alvin bragg jack smith whoever was behind trump's
previous three indictments shame on you for not making trump take a mugshot all this time trump
could have been taking mugshots he actually should have four already all right i think four four
indictments a mugshot for each indictment 91 criminal charges and this is his first mugshot
simply because y'all didn't make him take one
this is why historically folks have repeated this quote if you want something said ask a man if you
want something done ask a woman dropping the clues bombs for fannie mae willis okay mugshots ain't
dead y'all dudes just scared now back to trump's insecurities when donald trump was booked yesterday
in fulton county jail his jail records came out and it had all his charges on there.
It had his booking number, his inmate number, P.O.
One one three five eight oh nine.
If you're wondering, it had his height and weight.
It had his hair is blonde or strawberry.
I don't even know what the hell strawberry color hair means.
I guess red.
But to me, his hair color is more kiwi fruit than strawberry.
But forget the hair.
Let's get to his height and weight.
Donald Trump said on his jail record that he was 6'3
215 pounds clearly they asked him his height and weight or asked his age his height and weight
because scales hips and big backs don't lie but trump does and this is what i don't understand
and this is what tom nichols from the atlantic was asking how come trump supporters don't hold
trump to the same standards of masculinity that they hold others to we all know trump is a liar okay i thought masculine men alpha males look down upon
liars because y'all keep it real okay and i wonder how y'all would react to someone you don't consider
manly lying about their devil damn weight you know how slim and fit trump would be if he was 6'3
215 pounds i know people are making jokes, but mugshots are important because if somebody goes on the run, they need a description.
Okay, 6'3", 215 pounds, strawberry blonde hair, none of that describes Trump.
Alright, if he wasn't one of the most famous people in the world and was just some dude who decided to go on the run after committing all these crimes,
you wouldn't recognize him based off this description.
But this is an example of him not being a man's man, which is why I don't understand why Trump supporters who claim to be the men of all men support someone who will lie so blatantly, especially about something like his weight.
This is IG model behavior.
OK, Trump puts the skinny filter from TikTok on his jail records and y'all acting like you don't see it.
Donald Trump might be 6'3 but he is not
215 pounds donald trump is easily uh 6'3 and weighs about chris christie okay maybe not chris
christie but he definitely weighs about peter griffin and i and i don't understand why all
these so-called alpha males hold him up as the standard for what men should be because as the
writer windsor man is noted trump behaves in ways that many working class men would ridicule.
He wears bronzer, loves gold and gossip, is obsessed with his physical appearance, whines
constantly, can't control his emotions, watches daytime TV, enjoys parades and interior
decorating, and used to sell perfume.
And now we know that he isn't just obsessed with his physical appearance, he lies about
his weight
imagine being so privileged that you are facing all these charges and the thing that's on your
mind is your weight and lying about it when you get there donald trump said he is 6'3 215 pounds
let me tell you something man do you know who is 6'3 215 pounds me no you're not lamar jackson all pro starting quarterback of the baltimore ravens who
back in may signed a five-year 260 million dollar deal is six to 215 pounds exactly does donald
trump look like lamar jackson to you huh no absolutely imagine donald trump wasn't donald
trump and he was just some dude you met online built the way he is telling you he's built like
lamar jack Jackson and then
he pulled up to your house talking about what's up huh?
Not a damn thing.
That's right.
Okay, it was a little late but you understand what I'm saying?
I do.
All right, real recognizes real and insecurity recognizes insecurity.
All you fake alpha males love Trump because he too is a fake alpha male.
No matter how much he acts like an insecure little child, you all will
support him because you see yourself in him. And Thomas Nichols put it best in this Atlantic
article. He said Trump will continue to act like a little boy and his base, the voters who will stay
with him to the end will excuse him. When a grown man brags about being brave, it is unmanly and
distasteful. When a little boy pulls out a cardboard sword and ties a towel around his neck like a cape,
it's endearing. When a rich and powerful old man whines about how unfairly he is being treated,
we scowl and judge. When a little boy, you know, snuffles in his tears and says that he was bullied,
treated worse than Abraham Lincoln even, we comfort. And you know why? Because America
is sympathetic towards fat people. Which is why I don't know why he's lying about his weight. I
think it's a tactic. I think he did that on purpose because he knows that folks will fat shame him and call him insecure
then his supporters will defend him and call us hypocrites for fat shaming because y'all out here
fake canceling lizzo for allegedly fat shaming which makes no sense because lizzo big too so
for any of y'all who are upset with me right now for fat shaming donald trump this morning i want
you to know that i identify as obese i am 5'6 27 pounds, and don't you dare call me a liar if you're not willing to call Trump one.
Please let Remy Ma give Donald Trump the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
You stupid mother f***er.
You dumb.
Don't you dare.
Don't you look at me like that.
What's wrong with fat people?
Nothing.
I am one.
You're not one of us.
I am 5'6", 275 pounds.
How dare you?
Don't claim my culture.
You don't know what I identify as.
You're appropriating fat culture.
I identify as a fat person.
You're appropriating fat culture, Charlemagne.
You're not big homie Charlemagne.

All right.
When we come back,
Friday will be joining us.
Yes, Friday. he's an artist he
signed to def jam he was the joint he sang on the god did he sing on that joint with uh john ledger
so we're gonna kick it with him when we come back he has an album out today so don't move it's the
breakfast club good morning did you say peace bt
only thing in church that was interesting to me was the music you know what i'm saying so that's
where i'll focus on.
So I remember like one Sunday, all the musicians left the old school.
And I just went up and just start playing stuff by ear.
Like everything they'll sing, I'll try to just follow it.
You know what I'm saying?
And then I would just transition to every instrument.
And that's how I learned how to play music.
I would say that one thing about Haititian parents there's always a musician in
the household like the person that actually taught me how to dj he's haitian right and his father
taught him how to play the trumpet the saxophone and how to work the turntables and it was the
weirdest thing ever but and how to produce and he just knew all of that and it was the same
thing they they love music but you had to stay to school yeah they love it that's crazy because my
pop made me play the trumpet when I was a youngin'.
That was just something he wanted me to do, but he looked at it as fun.
You know what I'm saying?
That's nothing.
They really looked at it like, you could do this for fun.
You're talented, but if you don't go to college, be a doctor or something, you got to leave
the house, bro, or we look at you as a failure.
Did you pop in college?
I started making music in ninth grade.
I remember my cousin Marco, music spirit.
He taught me how to produce and being a musician I was in church.
It was like as soon as I went in the studio, I produced my own track, wrote my own track.
And I did everything 100%.
So since like eighth, ninth grade, I've been doing music like every day.
Perfecting my craft.
Not even dropping music.
I was just so in love with it.
When I went to college, I started releasing music.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm introducing myself as Friday but it's
really not working you know I'm saying I got no marketing don't believe in me
none of that so that's how it all started what was the big break what was
the first time when somebody's actually heard you like oh this is really gonna
work um it was always like bro you hella talented so anybody I ever play my music
to they knew like bro you one of them ones but like but the first time it actually broke off was probably, like, during quarantine.
Like, I remember I went to L.A. in, like, 2019.
Me and my cousins, we had, like, $4,000.
I remember, like, the Revolt Summit, Diddy used to throw.
I went to that joint before I went back home.
Atlanta.
Yeah, he threw one in L.A., though, in 2019.
And it was a line you could play music for.
And, like like that was like
the first time like A&R like heard me I played my music he was like you got like a soulful voice
like you remind me of like Ty Dolla at the time he was working with Ty Dolla so that was like the
first person and I went I went back home to Philly like I got one connect you know I'm saying like I
could create you know I'm saying and during that time I met my manager Edgar I told you like I was
on artist move you know I'm saying and he was like bro you think
about songwriting it might be an easier way for you to get in the door if you don't got no emotion
going on as an artist like i'm telling you like we could push this on some songwriting tip you
know what i'm saying so when i went back home i would make like probably like 10 to 12 songs a
week and just send it to my manager egger and we'll just move it around during that process
i was working with my producer denuso he was about to sign the deal on some publishing and the a&r
that heard my hooks on his beats was like who that like we're about to sign you but who that
and that's how i got my first pub deal like that was like my first wow break of music like 20 during
quarantine where did the voice come from because you know you i can hear you in your philly all
day yeah where did that so that soulful voice come from?
It sounds like a sample.
Yeah, it's church.
But they got a lot to do with church and my parents being Haitian.
A lot of the music, Haitian music, it's based off feeling.
So they're not the best singers.
I wouldn't say the Haitians, they're not the best singers.
But when they sing, you feel it.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's a mixture of church and the pain of the Haitian it you know what I'm saying so it's a mixture of church
and like the pain
of the Haitian
you know what I'm saying
Haitian music and all that
how'd you hook up with Khaled
so um
like I said
I used to be on some
songwriting tip right
the person I signed to
the publishing label
the lady had left
and I remember
I was in this deal like
how you gonna leave me here
like I only signed here
cause of you
you know what I'm saying
I ain't know nobody
at the head or nothing
so we was looking for a buyout you know what i'm saying my manager egger
was connected to mary j blige manager eddie he kept telling him bro like i'm telling you he the
one bro just buy him out this deal everything about to go crazy like you know what i'm saying
egger just telling him and during that time i hit up timbaland i had timbaland number on my phone
i sent him like how you get timbaland number on your phone. I sent him, like... How you get Timbaland's number on your phone? The producer, Denuso, that hot, hot, got the first deal.
He's from Virginia.
So, I remember, like, 2021, he been put us in the chat.
But I was going into 2022, like, you know how you go into 22, like, I'm about to take this up another level.
I'm just looking through my contacts.
I see Timbaland.
I'm like, bro, I never used this contact, bro.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
So, I sent him, like, probably, like, 10 to 12 hooks slash samples of my voice the next day bro like he on instagram like every other day tagging me
making a beat to it just took everything up or not it's like every a1 producer that you know
was in my dm so the guy eddie he ended up buying me out buying me out my deal and that's when
chris brown song came out i wrote for chris brown on on breezy will swallow if you need you right here and then I remember I made God did in my room bro
like Cali was on the Instagram every day saying God did God did every time you
said it that just it just touched my heart you know I'm saying so I created a
simple around it not even knowing Cali I'm gonna get this to me I'll call
Edgar I'm like brother I got this drum called god did he like bro make another one like
make a real hook i'm gonna get this to him remember that day i made god did i played edgar we called
eddie eddie like bro i got kyle's number i'm about to send it to him i sent it to kyle kyle hit us
the next day like i need this on my album wow so you added the beat too or it was another it was
just how you heard it like my piano and my hook.
So when I sent it to Khaled, he added the beat.
At first, it was supposed to be my song, like God did in the little Friday.
Just that, we started the paperwork.
Days go by, he like, bro, I just put three rappers on this.
He ain't a singer.
Like, this is going to live forever, bro.
When he said that, I'm already thinking Kanye, Nas, Jay-Z, just to level it up.
You know what I'm saying?
He didn't tell you who it was.
He didn't tell me who it was.
I was like, I didn't know who it was until the song came out.
I didn't even hear the song.
So that's how God did came.
Would you have still felt like God did if they had took you off?
Shut up, man.
I still would have, bro, because I'm still going number one.
Still get paid.
I'm still getting paid.
I'm still with number 17, Hot 100 Billboard.
So it's still a God did, but this is different because i always knew i was an artist bro even
when i was songwriting i had projects ready like this for my artist you know i'm saying so
this was like the perfect way for me to art here i am bro like i knew who i was while i was writing
like i knew this was my way to get in all right we got more with friday when we come back it's
the breakfast club good morning morning everybody is dj DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Friday.
God, being your first introduction to the world and having legends on that record,
do you feel like put pressure for your artistry?
Because your first song to the world has Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Wayne.
I don't feel like that at all, bro.
I make good music, bro.
So I be telling people, they all come down to the music.
The only pressure I got is to make good music.
And I know that's what I'm always going to do.
I don't care about a lot of the other stuff.
You know what I'm saying?
People know what I added value to God did, how that hook touched people.
And I'm always going to be able to create that that energy that
feeling you know what i'm saying so that's the only pressure like bro just keep giving good music
i remember you saying how like when the record came out people didn't put two and two together
that you were friday yeah the whole twitter was like who is this boy like it don't sound like
john legend who you know i'm saying like i remember like the record came out i'm walking around the
city like song playing at every car nobody knows me like I'm walking around the city like so I'm playing at every car
Nobody knows me like I'm walking around chilling. You know I'm saying I think my cousin came to the crib like bro We gotta celebrate you know I'm saying I said bro. I'm got a dollar in my pocket a second come yet
So I'm like he like I'm gonna get a section bro on me went out bro song keep playing all day
I'm in a club Cali called me first time. I talked to Cali when it was like number one
I'm like bro. I'm walking around his jaw. Nobody know me, bro. He like, it's gonna change.
He keeps saying it's gonna change. Like tell you a new star is born. Let's talk about some of the
music. Well, I think we should start with When It Comes To You. I feel like that record is going
crazy right now. And I think what people really appreciate it is just the message, like commitment
and wanting to work things out with somebody and i feel like that's kind of like
a rare thing for our generation people don't be on that type of time they do that's why i made the
song bro like there'd be a lot of like bulls**t bro like and like a lot of these artists really
don't be meaning it bro like it'd be a lot of songs about i got options i can go to the next
bull you know what i'm saying but saying But All these people Got one boy
All these artists
Got one husband
One boyfriend
You know what I'm saying
So I wasn't even
Pushing marriage on people
Like with that video
I was just pushing the subject
Bro everybody got somebody bro
Why don't you try to act cool
Like bro it's cool to be
You know what I'm saying
Tell your person how you feel
And put that music out
And just the reaction bro
Was like
We feel this way too
Like the most people You never would have thought In my dm like i love this song you know what i'm
saying just that's why i wanted like put the message on bro like everybody not on that most
people not being that you hate you did you ask anybody in your family put a little sprinkle on
your career that's not crazy i'm just saying Just say his dad is a pastor. Just say his dad is a pastor. I didn't say his dad, his mom.
I said somebody in the family.
We got a sprinkle.
We got God on our side, bro.
That too?
That is the sprinkle.
That's all the sprinkle, bro.
We good.
Word.
Yeah, for sure.
What's wrong with you?
Back to the music.
Don't give it away, but Chris Brown was also a huge record.
Yeah.
But I love on here that you did a part two.
Yeah.
What's the relationship of part one and part two?
Part two is kind of like the breakdown, the vulnerable, like slow down version.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's just in musical.
You know what I mean?
I got a saxophone in there.
I got like a lot of like vocal elements in there.
Is that you playing?
No, no, this is Wumble.
I don't know his name, but my manager Edgar reached out to him and he added the sax.
It's like on something like Marvin Gaye.
It's very beautiful.
It's jazzy.
Yeah, that's how part two is, like a slow version. Yeah, i feel like in that you kind of elaborate on like you still claiming what's yours i just
need to get myself together yeah for sure and and even throughout the project you're kind of
talking about the same thing so it's like it's a battle for you no it ain't no battle for me
i was coming from a good perspective with this project like i wasn't on no no crazy stuff like i was just saying like that song like just don't give it away like i'm you know i'm
saying like i'm done playing what i'm playing with like i'm done playing games like i'm all in
okay um this project has like a gospel feel to it like i feel like it could be a gospel album but
then also it's like turn up afro beat vibes so with the gospel part of it i feel like um that's something we
don't really get anymore like a praise yeah for sure i wouldn't even call it gospel like it feel
like it because like i'm giving so much soul and i'm bringing the choirs in lord have mercy i mean
like yeah for sure but i'm talking like real life everyday stuff you know what i'm saying so that
everyday people go go through you know what i'm saying like even mercy i'm like it's just every day i saw i'll call it friday bro like i
don't say it's gospel because people that don't listen to gospel love them them styles of music
for me you know what i'm saying how you end up locking in with a sake sake man shout out my guy
that was like right after god did right after god did a lot of africans just loved me bro like they
thought i was one of them like friday from africa his voice just so give us that feeling so and then
i remember like somebody put me on a sake he stole fire man i wanted to have a conversation with him
when he was in town i don't know nobody that know him though it ain't bro like that whole album i
ain't skipped one track not one and i was just in my room like hands up not
even understanding the word you know what i'm saying and i dm them i told bro like i don't
know what you're saying right now but you're my favorite artist i don't know what you're saying
you're not hard to understand no he's not hard to understand but you gotta listen you gotta listen
a few times to really hear what he's saying i was just in my room like this and i i said i need you
on something bro and then we hopped on the phone and i told him the same thing bro like i don't
know what you're saying he was the first audit he was the first artist bro that i heard during the
whole song he had a choir with him if you hear you hear what i'm saying like every verse it's a
choir singing behind him so and i love the choir i'm like how you think of that like you're going
through the whole song with a choir behind you he was like bro you don't gotta understand what i'm saying like
it's music all about feeling and that's how we kind of connect like yeah like he like i feel you
bro like god did i listen to that you know what i'm saying yeah did the fireboy joint come about
after god did as well or is that like i said like it was just a lot of afro artists who were fried
like they love me like they treat me like I'm one of them.
And I treat them like they, you know what I'm saying?
Like, they're my favorite artists, too, because growing up in the Haitian house, all you listen to is Haitian music, Jamaican music, Afro music.
Like, if you at a Haitian party, it's all one.
So, like, when I get on the phone with these guys, they already know, like, he know what's going on.
Like, even DeVito, like, I got something coming up with him.
Like, I've been on him since 2015.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's just like, it's just family for us.
You been over there yet?
No.
You got to do it big, though.
You're not going to want to come back.
You should go for December.
You should go to Ghana.
That's what they say in December.
Dirty December.
Beautiful out there.
I know growing up in a Haitian household, you said you grew up listening to Afro beats
and stuff like that.
Did you grow up on hip hop?
Not really in my household.
So, like, I probably, like, started listening to hip-hop, like, probably, like, I was in
middle school.
You know what I'm saying?
What was, like, the entry album for you?
So, like, see, like, when I started making music, I'm from Philly, so it was, like, Boyz
the Men.
You know what I'm saying?
Then it was, like, Brian McKnight and then Jamie Foxx.
And I used to always be on Jamie Foxx, bro.
Like, how he played the piano and sung, bro. I used to always be on Jamie Foxx bro like how he played the piano and sung bros
I used to watch him every day
but I remember he had to join
Kanye West
Golden Digger
yeah and that's when I was like
or Slow James
yeah any one of them
I remember the video
and Kanye West
was like my favorite artist
Kanye West
and then Meek Mill
from Philly
I started living
going through life
and like Meek Mill
that was like my first two artists
you know what I'm saying
well let's get a joint on.
What you want to hear, man?
Off the album.
Album's out right now, by the way.
You can pick it up right now.
New album Friday is out.
What you want to hear?

I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I trade my country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh, my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.

their 105.3 station, our sister station.
You can catch them Monday through Thursday at 7 p.m.
Big Homie is fake fat.
Look, man,
you're going to stop
appropriating my culture.
He said he identifies
as a thick joint.
Thick ass nigga.
Look, you can say it.
I ain't, you know.
Sound like you're flirting,
but let's go now.
Let's go.
Wow.
You're jealous.
It's okay.
We'll handle it.
We'll handle it. We'll handle it.
I'm just trying to figure out what everybody identifies at this table.
Who do you identify as?
JoJo Alonso.
All right.
Well, to start it off, I'm going to go with this record that's been out for a little bit.
But that Mexican OT is called Johnny Day.
That's hard.
That Mexican OT is hard. Yeah, that's hard. That Mexican OT is hard.
I'm just rhyming words.
I don't even know how to rap.
I've been up on Mexican OT.
Okay.
You know what I'm saying?
I've been up on him.
He's been up on me.
He's been up on Mexican OT.
Cowboy Killer, Appa 2.
Who are he from?
Texas.
He from Texas.
Oh, yeah, that's hard.
He from Texas.
Paul Waller on that song, too.
Yeah, he does.
Somebody showed me that video a while ago.
A long time ago, yeah.
Yeah, Mexican OT. What's that kind of rap? What's that video a while ago Mexican or T-Hawk
What's that type of rap called though?
It's giving Migos
Yeah he is
He sounds like
That was good I like that
I just got that
I literally just got that
To me he sounds a little bit like T.I.
he got a dope flow
he's dope
he's just a dope rapper
I don't know what to tell y'all
he's dope
he's like Migo T.I.
yes
gotcha
yes
underlay
but you know what
that's good
cause black artists
have been appropriating
Mexican culture
for so long
right
like what
because of the Migos
Migos
you know what I mean
talking about being the plugs
and all this other stuff
getting across the border you know what i mean talking about being the plugs and all this other stuff getting across the border you know what i mean okay i get it yeah that makes sense okay
are we really appropriating though i feel like we paid mad homage to it but nonetheless all right
cool whatever i don't want to start a debate second is fredo mexicans come out and call
themselves the niggas i'll tell you that much i'll tell you that much. I'll tell you that much.
No, it did get a little crazy, though. She going too far.
She going too far.
She going too far.
No, but it did get a little crazy
once the single de Mayo came,
and then Juneteenth happened,
and it was a whole, yeah,
it was a whole little thing.
It was.
I don't remember that.
I don't remember that.
Junko's making stuff up.
Y'all remember that?
No, I don't remember
the single de Mayo versus Juneteenth.
People were saying that
black people were celebrating single de Mayo more than there was Juneteenth. People were saying that black people were celebrating Tickle De Mayo
more than they was Juneteenth.
Oh, yeah.
That's fact.
That's fact.
That's fact.
Because it's tequila.
That's because people like tequila
more than cognac.
That's all.
Tequila gets you lit.
All right.
The second song
I'm going to go with
is Fredo Bang with Bang Man.
That's hard, too.
Yeah.
I heard that before.
That's hard, too.
All right.
That's Fredo Bang.
That young nudie flow. Yeah. The nudie flow. All right. I see a bank that young lady flow. Yeah
One thing about Atlanta Atlanta gonna run for Atlanta
Yeah, not another hook was yeah, it was his that was his but that was definitely new
Big Clark Atlanta University, I'm Atlanta That sound like Jermaine Dupri, man. Shout out to Tri-City. Tri-City's high school.
Big Clark Atlanta University.
I'm Atlanta.
Because of the uh-uh-uh.
No, no, no.
I'm talking about the first verse that sounded like nudie flow to me.
I just want y'all to know,
the last two artists,
y'all found a way to incorporate Atlanta artists.
Atlanta influences a lot of music.
Atlanta influences everything.
What are you saying?
Atlanta is just like New Yorkers
when it comes to the pride.
You know how New Yorkers be like, we were the...
I'm from Atlanta.
You're from Chicago.
Yeah, but I'm just keeping it...
It's just honest.
We the culture.
Atlanta does influence a lot of music.
Okay.
And a lot of artists.
I don't disagree.
So, I mean, it is what it is.
Who else we got now?
All right.
And lastly, you know we got to go with Cole.
Cole dropped two records today.
Well, he's featured on two records that dropped today
And then also he helped produce on that Mike will and Uzi joint so I feel like it's a J Cole type of Friday
So it's only right we do burner boys. Thanks featuring J Cole. I love J Cole
It was a it was a it was a reporter a few years ago that made a tweet that says Friday
I'm not trying to you know J Cole. I think that Demetrius or something like that. That, yeah.
Burner Boy saved that one.
Burner Boy saved that one?
I'm not.
I've never been a J. Cole fan.
Because you can't compare him
to nobody from Atlanta.
It's because you from Atlanta.
I mean, why?
If it's a Friday,
I'm trying to get in my vibe.
I'm going to listen to some J. Cole.
I'm schooled.
What if J. Cole's on the song
with Gucci?
Yeah, you got to sneak him in.
Okay.
You got to sneak like Knuckles. Man, he had the first verse on that right there with Gucci? Yeah. Yeah, you got to sneak him in. Okay. You got to sneak, like, knock him.
Man, he had the first verse on that right there.
Exactly.
What?
Knock him?
I can't believe this.
Back to the English record.
Wait, how long have we been working together, and I'm just not knowing this about you?
How many times you see me, hey, turn that J. Cole on?
Well, that's because J. Cole.
You never listened to him in the gospel before I listened to J. Cole.
That's because J. Cole ain't really that.
Oh, my.
No, this guy is disrespectful.
The big homie's very disrespectful.
You know, that J. Cole's a favorite artist. That's why she went to St. John's University. Let me't really that. No, this guy is disrespectful. You know, J. Cole's a favorite artist.
That's why she went to St. John's University.
I'm from the Carolinas. J. Cole from the Carolinas.
That is very disrespectful.
J. Cole's on my top five list.
I'm from Atlanta, and Andre 3000's better than J. Cole.
Duh!
Who's that?
Who's that?
I'm just saying, on a Friday, you gonna turn on some J. Cole?
Yes!
J. Cole just dropped. Yes. Yeah, and J. Cole? Yes. J. Cole just dropped.
Yes.
Yeah, and J. Cole ain't really out like that right now.
Well, he is now, obviously.
He's about to start back up his future.
You can tell he got a record out with Dirk.
He got the record out with Gucci.
And I'm not saying he's not talented.
I'm not saying he's not talented.
He's just not to me.
I mean, if you said that, nobody would believe you.
I don't want to listen to him.
He's very talented.
Come on, man.
I don't want to listen to him.
I would rather listen to somebody else. He's not to me. I mean, I don't want to listen to him. He's very talented. Come on, baby. I don't want to listen to him. I would rather listen to somebody else.

He has just sent me a DM and was like,
I'm looking for somebody to work with for our podcast.
We linked up and it just took off from there.
We started our podcast and then we was working at the car show.
We were just regular people at that time.
Running around trying to get interviews all the time.
That was the first time we did the car show. That was the that time. Running around trying to get interviews all the time. That was the first time we did the cross-country.
That was the first time.
Yeah, that was the first time.
And we actually
unknowingly quit our jobs
at the same time as well
and jumped into wanting to do this
and make a career out of doing this.
So, you know,
it was just a faith move.
So I didn't have any plans
or ideas of how it was going to happen.
I just knew it was going to happen.
Yeah, and I was literally
living in Atlanta
flying back and forth. I have a six-year and I was literally living in Atlanta flying back and forth.
I have a six-year-old daughter, too.
I was flying back and forth every week to Chicago
just to do my radio show.
That's what I'm talking about.
And still making it back in time.
So I would leave Saturday morning, 5 a.m.,
get to Chicago, work all night,
and then be back by 10 p.m.
That's what I'm talking about.
So I could take my daughter to school on Monday, yeah.
Now, Georgia, I've known Georgia for, what, three, four years, five years, and every time I'm in Atlanta, she's out and about can take my daughter to school on Monday, yeah. Now, JoJo, I've known JoJo for, what,
three, four years, five years,
