    Kamala Harris has taken the political world by storm, Biden's been sent home, and Trump thinks it's 2016. We discuss the perputually morphing presidential race MMSN style. The Olympics set the world on fire, and MMSN had a box of popcorn and a front-row seat. We share our thoughts. Legends LL Cool J and Q-Tip, Common and Pete Rock, Rakim, and even Ghostface have all produced or dropped their own albums this year.

    2023/12/08

    My Mic Sounds Nice is back with an episode about all the things that can't be discussed! Why is nuance discussion lost to our public discourse when it is most needed? The brothers investigate. Also, we discuss creativity and age. Andre 3000 felt he didn't have anything to say as a rapper of "a certain age." We discuss the validity of hip hop as only youth culture. Is this correct? Are there examples that prove this thinking is incorrect? We explore.
