In this episode, Wellington and Savon are joined by special guest Maurice Hendricks, a long-time friend of the show. They review Drake’s latest album Certified Lover Boy and discuss the lengthy track-list along with how this project had a better song structure compared to Scorpion and why he’s so effective on lyrically dense tracks. They also review Kanye West’s 10th album Donda and the interesting mix of ideas along with why certain fanbases aren’t still connecting with the newer version of Kanye plus how it compares to CLB. Finally, they review Summer Walker’s 2019 debut Over It and discuss how she paid homage to older, more traditional R&B and it still containing elements of hip-hop. In the second half, they review Moonlight, the 2016 coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Barry Jenkins. Starring Trevante Rhodes, Andre Holland, Janelle Monae and Ashton Sanders. They dive into how this was a master class character study, it being a uniquely told film and Barry Jenkins bringing in three different actors to play the main character in a masterful way. Finally, they discuss how Mahershala Ali was able to win Best Supporting Actor and effectively convey and execute on the character of Juan.
