Ridin' Dirty Jay-Z 30, It's Strict Over Here All Summer League | Starlito & Work N Progress Ep. 26

Starlito kicks the episode off with a book care package for the whole crew — three books, no warning — before they get into NBA Summer League highlights, Archie Goodwin going 1-on-1 against Nasir Kaur in Vegas, and the Sweet Poison vs. GloRilla debate that's been burning up the timeline.

Then it gets deep. Jay-Z's Yankee Stadium show had Blue Ivy playing piano live, Nas on stage, and Jay-Z giving Jaz-O his flowers in front of thousands — and the crew had feelings about all of it.

Los talks Two Mile Tuesday. UGK's *Ridin Dirty* hits its 30th anniversary and they go all in.

Los opens up about the day he walked away from the post office. The Ozone Awards come up — Starlito won, but a brawl stopped the ceremony before he could accept.

The Pimp C *Sweet Jones* book and *Way of the Superior Man* both make appearances as the book club keeps building. The back half brings a diarrhea outbreak, National Days for July 14, and a Shadow Work prompt on rejection that had everyone quiet for a second.

The episode closes on Starlito's catalog — *Love Drug*, *Step Brothers 4*, *75am Hard Club* — and Tennessee landing at #1 on CNBC's worst states to live in list. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 🎙️ Intro 00:55 📚 Books — Lido's Care Package 03:37 🏀 Sports Talk — Summer League & Archie Goodwin 1-on-1 10:37 🎤 Sweet Poison & The GloRilla Debate 20:25 🎤 Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium — Blue Ivy, Nas & Jaz-O's Flowers 28:49 🏃🏾 Weekend Recap — Two Mile Tuesday & Amber the Stretcher 31:12 🎵 UGK Ridin Dirty — 30th Anniversary 36:15 📬 How Los Quit His Post Office Job 40:34 🏆 Ozone Awards + Pimp C 46:27 📖 Book Club: Way of the Superior Man 51:07 😂 Diarrhea Outbreak 2026 + Days of the Year 53:35 🪞 Shadow Work: Rejection 1:07:30 🎶 Starlito: It's Strict Over Here 1:20:17 🤦🏾 Tennessee: Worst State to Live In? 📲 Follow Work N Progress Podcast: IG: TikTok: FB: #WNP #WorkNProgress 📲 Follow the Hosts: Carlos Partee Instagram: Starlito Instagram: Stephen Thomas Sr. Instagram: Shute Instagram: Edited by Zips #WorkNProgPodcast #Podcast 🎙️ Join Our YouTube Membership Support the podcast and get access to exclusive content, behind-the-scenes clips, and early episode drops.
