Timmhotep Aku, venerated writer and curator, joins the show. We examine Lil Uzi’s stint in label purgatory and do a deep dive on how rappers get trapped in bad deals in the primes of their careers. We also rate songs from The BoyBoy West Coast, Mach-Hommy and 2 Chainz. And Eric shares #DiepThoughtz on breaking bad habits. Word to Nav.
