Sun-Kissed and Tell

Episode 29 - Back on the pod and we came in hot. The "sun-kissed" debate kicks things off before we get anywhere near the music (0:00).

We handled it appropriately. 100 lashes, town square.World Cup season had us all the way in: Messi's silence on his teammates' antics, England vs. Argentina, and an Argentine restaurant with an unreal name (5:00).

Yeah; we're rocking with Spain. Olodo Uprising, round two (9:13): why the comments missed the point, and the hypocrisy of hopping on Carter Efe's platform right after clowning Peller for the exact same thing.

Mid-year album check (24:47): Asake, Omah Lay, Wande Coal, and the uncomfortable truth that six months in, nobody has an Album of the Year. Omah Lay promised the best Afrobeats album in 20 years and ghosted his own rollout.

There's a funding problem nobody wants to name. Davido talk (31:50): the No 11/Toye situation, why "upcoming" isn't a compliment, and a first listen to the new single before it drops.

Wale also has some advice for Toye. Tyla's "recorded around monkeys and bugs" comments got exactly the reaction you'd expect (48:36).

The Odumodublvck vs Blaqbonez ₦2B lawsuit (52:41) and why picking and choosing who you call out kills your own argument. Closing with underground reviews and a premiere: Kaya by Toje (unreleased), Hold Me by Biola, plus cuts from TR Gobrazy and unreleased Latino Perrico (1:06:29).
