Why we don't talk about the women all being. Being named dolls? Like how you talk about all the guys being named baby? We did, but she's not an artist, though. She's not an artist. We did remember Cash Dog was up here talking about everybody's name, a doll and all that stuff. Yeah, we did. All right, well, also, I Ain't go front. I'm tired. There was a lot of sports going on. We'll get on in front page news. Yeah. We'll talk about the NFL draft. We'll talk about the playoffs. And we got to give you some updates. In the New Jersey Wildfire, Trump signed some more executive orders. There's a lot going on. We'll get. Coco Jones will be joining us. Her new album, why Not More, is out today. Yes, it is. And also Key Glock will be joining us. His album comes out next week. It's called Glockavelli. So we've been talking about those artists this morning. So let's get the show cracking. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Front Page News is next. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Start off with Sports. All right. NBA playoffs. The Knicks beat the Pistons last night 118 to 116. They lead the series two one. Clippers destroyed the Nuggets 117 to 83. They lead that series two to one. And OKC beat the Grizzlies 114, 108. They lead the series three nothing. Now, last night, the NFL draft number one pick from university of Miami, Cam Ward, went to the Tennessee Titans. Travis Hunter, he went to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That was a trade from the Cleveland Browns. Drop on the clues. Bonds with Travis Hunter. He'll be down there in Duvall. That's right. Yeah. Lil Duvall was happy about that one. Man, I wonder Travis Hunter gonna come to Duvall Day. But maybe his mom shouted out, little Duval. I don't know if you seen it. I didn't see that. I saw that, but I mean, I saw people saying that, but I didn't see it. I actually seen it. She was like, yes, we. We coming to Duval. My roots. Our roots from Florida. And she was like, yeah, and tell little Duval we'll be on the. On the boat with him. I mean, the plane that little will be on that little plane with him. Let's go, Travis. Do not get on that little ass plane with Duvall, okay? The Jacksonville Jag squads have big, big, big jets. You don't need to get on that. Okay. That was a dope shout out. And then the New York Giants picked Abdul Carter. He was from Penn State. Big brother. He said he actually wants to wear Lawrence Taylor's 56 number. So we'll see if that's Taylor's jersey. Retired. It is retired, but you can ask the family or ask the player if he's still alive, can they still wear the jersey? Neighbors did that. Neighbors did that last year wearing the number one for the New York Giants. So you can ask. Okay, you can't ask now. Shador Sanders was not selected in the first round of the NFL draft. They thought he would be probably the first to second quarterback picking. They knew he wasn't gonna be the first because they knew Cam Ward was going number one. But they thought he was probably gonna be the second quarterback. But the Giants actually took Jackson dart. He's from old Mississippi. I'm not sure why. I think Shador has a stronger arm than that, that young man. I think Shedor is quicker than that young man. But people have been saying that Shedor not showing up for the combine. They've been saying his attitude was a problem. I don't know why, but I think Shedor should have went the second quarterback taken in my opinion, the attitude thing is just saying to me, they're just scared of that man's confidence. They're scared of that man's high self esteem. Okay. But that was instilled in him from his mother and father from day one. So, yes, he's going to walk into the room with his head held high and he knows who he is. If that scares you, then you probably not the right fit for him. That's right. So we'll see where he goes in the second round. What's up, Mimi? What's up, y'all? Let's get into this front page news. So new details this morning in that massive New Jersey wildfire that's burned more than 15. Police say they have arrested a suspect. Joseph Kling, a 19 year old from Waretown, is now facing aggravated arson charges. Investigators say the wildfire, which began Tuesday morning in Ocean county, was sparked by a bonfire that Kling allegedly set using wooden pallets. He's also accused of leaving the area before the fire was fully out. Now authorities say they used GPS tracking technology to trace the fire's origin, which led them to Kling and his arrests. Now he remains in custody at the Ocean County Jail and could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Crews are working to protect nearby homes and structures, but it continues to threaten at least four structures and it is still only about 50% contained. The fire is expected to keep burning for several more days, although there is rain in the forecast and it could help slow it down. Meanwhile, the smoke from the fire has triggered air quality alerts in New York City, Long island and the Lower Hudson Valley. Yeah, it's very sad. I asked yesterday as Bria yesterday, because I wasn't, it's been a wet last couple of months. It hasn't been dry. So it was like, I was like, well, how would this fire start? But now it makes sense. So I hope that they get those fires contained this weekend. Now, what else we got? Absolutely. A federal judge appointed by President Trump has ordered the administration to bring back a Venezuelan man who was deported after being granted asylum, making him the second migrant a court order has requested has ordered return in recent weeks. The man, identified only as Christian in court documents, was deported to El Salvador in March as part of that mass removal of over 250 individuals the Trump administration claimed were gang members. He was sent to the country's Sea Got Mega prison. His attorneys argue that his deportation was violated. It was a violation of a court settlement that protected him from removal. He came to the United States in 2022 as an unaccompanied minority. Now, this ruling by a federal judge could set up another legal battle between Trump and the court over immigration enforcement. Christian's case. The judge ordered the Trump administration to make a good faith request to El Salvador for his release and not to deport any more migrants covered under the same settlement. The administration argues that Christian's deportation was legal under the Aliens Enemy Act, a wartime law from 1798. They say Christian was labeled an alien enemy, therefore making him ineligible for asylum. Damn, that Alien Enemies act is getting people up out of here. Boy, it really is just snatching people up. And so would you have a baby for $5,000? That's the idea the Trump administration is floating as the US Birth rate keeps falling. President Trump says he's open to the idea of giving moms a $5,000 baby bonus for every child they have. This would happen after the baby's born. It's part of a larger push from his team and outside groups to encourage more Americans to get married. And Trump himself is leaning into the message calling for more babies and referring to himself as a fertilization president. But everyone is sold. On the View. Whoopi Goldberg had some strong words about the proposal. Let's hear what she had to say. But let me talk about some of the things that the administration has slashed, which is why I am so not only insulted by that amount of money, because $5,000, yes, it sounds like a lot of money, but. But if you can't pay your rent, if you can't pay for your after school programs for your kids, everything this administration seems to be doing is telling people not to have children. Why not make sure that kids that we already have have a shot at good schooling? If you want people to have children, you have to not scare them by cutting all these programs that they. She's absolutely right. Yeah. Can I put my tin foil. I want to put my tin foil. Pooh Shiesty mask on for a second. You know, there was always these conversations about by 2040, white people wouldn't be the majority anymore. And like, they've been really afraid of the browning of America. So when you talk about, you know, Roe v. Wade being overturned and all of these things like that, like, there was always these conspiracies about. They're doing that because they want to increase the amounts of white people in this country. I think this is all part of that. You're incentivizing people to have babies, but who exactly are you incentivizing to have more babies? You know, and I don't want to say 5,000 is not a lot of money, but 5,000 is not a lot of money when it's a lot of money. No, not when you. When it's having a baby. Because if you think about it, daycare is 2, $300 a week, right? You still got to talk about food, you still got to talk about education. Later on. You still got to talk about clothes. You still got to talk about maintaining and having that kid education later on, you got formula, you got all this. Pampers, diapers, wipes. So that $5,000 will go so fast. So when it comes to raising a baby, you need more than $5,000. And that 5,000 is taxed at that. So it's not even 5,000. And this tax. You're absolutely right. But don't you think for one second these people wouldn't take somebody baby gravy for $5,000. Oh, you damn right. These holes crazy for free. What are we talking about? There's people out there with no money right now. They. That's a come up. They're like, well, I got to go have this baby. And if that's cuz. Hey, cuz, nobody said you got to keep it. Yo, shut up. They just want you to have. I'm serious. Nobody said you got to keep. Oh, my. That's a good point. You can have a baby. Give it up for. Give all. That's what I'm saying. They about to go crazy. Crazy. 20 kids and just give them up. You right. You talking about raising it. They said, no, we've given you 5,000 to have it. You right. Well, we gonna have to open up some orphanages together, y'all, because. Yeah, y'all. See, y'all don't. What, y'all think that impossible meat is impossible meat? Not real meat. Plants. Plant meat. All right. What the hell are you talking about? Trump owes me 30,000. I need my 30,000. I got six kids. I started early. Get it off your chest. Thank you, Mimi. We'll see you next hour. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, hit us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest. Wait. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed, it's time to get up and get something. Call up now. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello? Who's this? Hello? Hey, good morning. Who's this? Hi, this is Bobby. Hey, Bobby. Get it off your chest. Hi, DJ Envy. It's really great to talk to you. Hi, Charlemagne. Is Jess there? Yes, Bobby, Good morning. Hi, Jess. It's great to talk to all of you. I've been trying to call in a couple days to talk about the student loan situation. I've been in default with my student loans before. I'm about to be in default again. I'm in default. Just waiting for things to Start back up again. It's really messed up how the default process works. You do the program to get out of default, and then it starts back up again with these huge payments that you can't make, and you go back into default again. But what I really wanted to say was, DJ Envy, you pointed out that if you're married and you file your income tax return, your spouse's. Anything they're getting back gets taken, too. But actually, when I got married, there is a form that you can fill out called an injured spouse form, and that stops them. It, like, separates the income. It allows you to, like, still file married, filing jointly, and. But then it separates the income and figures out, like, what they would be getting back as their part of the income so that they still get back their refund. And just your part of the refund is taken for your student loans. So I just wanted to call in and, like, say that. I mean, this was, like, 10 years ago, back in 2014, that I filled out that form. So unless things have changed since then. But back then, there was an injured spouse form that you could fill out, and I just wanted to make sure that people need to look into that. Thank you. I didn't. You know, I didn't even have an opportunity to fill out that form. I just was doing my taxes, and I thought my money was coming, and all of a sudden, it just didn't. But I wish I had known about that form, but I've been out of college a little bit. Just a little bit longer than I'm probably you. But. Okay, thank you for that information, Mama. Well, I actually. I've been out of college since 2000. Okay. Interview was 40 years old in 2000. No, I was not. But. But. But thank you for that information. I also wanted to say I'm from Pittsburgh, and I'm really excited to see Jess. Hilarious is coming there in June. Oh, my God, girl. Hey. I'm trying to get a group of friends to get a VIP booth so I can come see you. That is what's up. I feel tight right now, but I'm trying to get it. I want to come see you so bad. When I come to see you, you will totally be able to. What show is it again? You said in Pittsburgh? Oh, improv. Okay. All right, look, I'll give you some tickets. I give you, like, three tickets. You give me a name. Envy, put her on hold. Yeah, we put you on hold. All right, Give me a name. I got you. You hold on. Okay, you better hurry up, because I'm looking At it right now. It says limited seats available. You'll be there June 13, June 14, and June 15 at the Pittsburgh Improv. Yes. Yes. But Jess says she got it. So even if it's limited seats, even if the girl got to sit on the stage, Jess says she got her. Nah, you can threw her on your side. All right. Maybe not the stage. All right. Maybe not the stage. Maybe not the stage. All right. Hello? Who's this? This is Chandler from Columbus. How y'all doing this morning? Good morning. What's up, Chandler? What up? Well, one, for starters, it's my birthday, you know, Turn up time. Turn up time. Happy birthday. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Second off, Y'all better put respect on that Ole Miss quarterback Jackson dart. That boy is good. And he did good against Georgia and Bama, but it's a blessing in disguise because he got to sit behind Jameson Winston and Russell Wilson. So Sedora might get picked up by Cleveland and he should be able to start again. Start in Cleveland. So it's a blessing in disguise, too. Yeah. Yeah. I see Jackson. I mean, he's. He's been a. A great quarterback for Ole Miss. I know he beat Eli's record with passing. I just like Shador. I like the. The fact that he. He's a rushing quarterback. But like you said, he wouldn't have started. He would. He would have been behind Russ. He would have been behind Jason. But if he. If the Browns do pick him, he'll be a starter, so we'll see what happens. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I appreciate y'all. Y'all have a good weekend. You too, now. You too. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. You gonna break down all the Shador saying and stuff. We are, because I don't know who the NFL shot humble more. Him, Shador Sanders or Deion Sanders. But they. They playing with him a little bit. A lot of, you know. You know what's crazy though, If. If you look at a lot of people's draft boards, they did have Shador going in the. The second round. Like, Mel Kuiper was one of the main people that was pushing Shador as one of the top picks. But a lot of other scouts had him as a second round pick. Yeah, but, you know, earlier in the season, they had him going like, top five. Yeah, but that was only like a couple people doing that. Like a lot of people at the end of the season because I think they said he'd been sacked 94 times the last couple. So they, they had a lot of questions about him. So, you know, him dropping to the second round is surprising, but it's not that that surprising. Who did your cowboys pick, by the way? I forgot the brother's name. I was watching it last night too. He was very happy and I felt so sad. Booker, Todd Booker. Todd Booker. Yes. I felt so sad for him. I'm like, this brother is so happy for no reason. Well, I'm gonna let y'all get all in all into it. All right, Say this, we'll get into that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy.

Now, there were a lot of other congratulations that went down that we will get to, but the biggest conversation right now is the fact that Shador was not picked for any team. A lot of people expected him to be picked. I don't even follow football that closely, and I've heard so many conversations about whether he would or would not have got picked up yesterday. So it was, it was an upset. And people are arguing back and forth that it is because of his confidence, it is because of his race mixed with his confidence and the fact that he is Deion Sanders son. And there's a point that people are feel like it's trying to be proven here. You know, I saw people saying that on social media and it might be some truth to that, but, you know, if you've been paying attention in recent weeks, people were saying his stock was dropping, but a lot of people were saying his stock, you know, should have never been that high. Like a lot of the mock draft boards I saw, except for probably Mel Kuiper, had him going in the second round. And I think Shedor is a good quarterback. I enjoy watching him, but I'm not an NFL scout. And I think a lot of us who aren't NFL scouts, we love the story of Shador being Deion's son, going to an hbcu, then going to Colorado and having success. So it's kind of like the Oscars. We root for a movie that we like and we saw, but we didn't see the rest of the movies to see if they were better. So we just shocked what we know didn't win. But not only that, like you said, he didn't go to the combine where people would actually see his time, See he tried out for particular teams. But also, what a lot of people don't understand when it comes to football, when they draft, they draft for positions they need. Right. They automatically think it's like basketball, where they just take the best player. But if you are a team, you might not need a quarterback. You might need an offensive lineman, you might need a wide receiver, you might need a corner. So they usually pick for the. For what they need. He was supposed to be the second or third quarterback picked. And the first one went to, of course, the Tennessee Titans, which was Cam Ward. The next one went to the Giants, which was Jackson Hart, and he would be the third one, they're saying, in the second round. But, you know, they were having that conversation a long time ago. I'm telling you, in recent weeks, if you were listening to, like, a lot of the things that were coming out from NFL scouts, they were questioning whether he had the physical capability, whether he was athletic enough. They was questioning his arm. Yeah, they questioned his arm, his athleticism. Could he beat tight coverages in the NFL? Was he athletic enough to escape pro pass rushes? Because he got sacked 94 times over the last couple of years? So that there were questions. Yeah, no, absolutely. Well, Shador actually spoke out yesterday during his. You know how they have, like, their. Their setup. Yeah. The draft parties, to everybody in attendance. Let's take a listen to what he said. We all didn't expect this, of course, but I feel like with God, anything possible, everything possible. I don't feel like this happened, you know, for no reason. All this is. Is, of course, fuel to the fire. And under no circumstance, we all know this shouldn't happen, but we. We understand, we. On the bigger and better things. Tomorrow's the day we're gonna be happy regardless. Doesn't dare. Yeah. He wasn't at the official NFL draft. Yeah. He had his own. He was at his crib. Yeah. Yeah. And I saw a lot of people. And because Deion Sanders posted this as well, I saw a lot of people like the Rock in the comments saying that, you know, he handled it very well. That's the way you respond to something like this. You know, one step, one small step. There'll be many more. And the second round of the draft goes down tonight. Yeah. So, you know, people are going to be looking out. And I know Coach Sanders actually tweeted out, he said before the draft, he said, watch God show out tonight. The same God that has taken us from Faith to faith, high school to high school, college to college. Glory will continue to take us where we need to be and where he wants us to go. We've already won. But that was prior to the draft. And then after I saw him getting back at some people that had some comments. I think Shadow gonna be fine because of his confidence, because of his faith, and because he's tough. And, you know, there's a lot of people who saw him have success at Jackson State who probably thought he couldn't, you know, be good at Colorado. And he was good at Colorado. I think. I think he's gonna be. Gonna be fine. Yeah, I think he'll be fine. The celebrity of him, because I know in boxing, I know different sport, but I feel like his celebrity and like, his Persona, doesn't that lean into something, too? Like, wouldn't it be like a team would want to bring that. Yeah, he would definitely put asses in the seats. He'd definitely sell a lot of jerseys. Aussies. But we'll see what happens in the second round. Second round in football is still great. Like, people look. Oh, no, it's. They. They picked 32 kids, 32 people, I should say. It's still great to be in the second round. And congratulations to Travis Hunter, who got drafted to the Jacksonville Jaguars first round. Jacksonville. What? Jacksonville Jaguars. Okay. What now you used to tell me you said Jaguars. I know people say Jaguars. Jaguars. How you say it? Jaguar. Jaguar. Jaguars. Oh, my God. Jaguars. I don't know how else to say it. Y'all said Jaguar. What is that? Jaguar. I'm glad he wrapping me up, because I don't know how else to say it. I've been saying like this for 33 years. So we're saying it like. That's Quagmire's brother. Jaguar. Jaguar. No, like the car. Jaguar. That's how to spell it. Jesus Christ. J A G, U A, R. Yes, y'all. His dad was in attendance. He was able to. To watch him, Jack. That's right. It was like a whole thing. Because his dad had not been able to see a bunch of things because he was locked up. He was incarcerated. Yeah. That was a big thing for him in the Jaguars. You gotta stop. I don't know what else y'all want me to do. Damn. Pronounce the word correct. That's all we want you to do. Do Jaguar. All right, well, that was the latest with Lauren. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And then Coco Jones will be joining us. Her new Al album, why not more is out today. Hey, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news now. NBA playoffs. The Clippers beat the Nuggets last night, 117, 83. They lead the series two one. The Knicks beat the Pistons, 118, 116. We lead the series two one. And the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder. OKC leaves that series three nothing. What up, Mimi? What up, y'all? All right. So. Federal prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangiani if he's convicted of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a move ordered by the Trump administration as part of its push to reinstate the Capitol punishment. Now, the announcement came just hours before Mangioni was scheduled for an arraignment in federal court. He faces a four count indictment, including a charge of murder with a firearm, which qualifies as a death eligible offense. Mangione is expected to plead not guilty. In a formal notice to the court, prosecutors said the decision was based on the impact of Thompson's death on his family, his colleagues, and the broader community. They also allege that Mangiani carried out the killing as a political statement, aiming to incite resistance against the healthcare industry. Now, during one of Mangiani's first court appearances, his attorney, Karen Friedman Agnipolo. I think that's how you say her name. She feared this exact retaliation from the Trump administration. Here's what she had to say at the time. The second thing I want to make a record of, your honor, is I'm very concerned about my client's right to a fair trial in this case. He's being prejudiced by some statements that are being made by government officials. Now, she's referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi, who at the beginning of this case said that she intended to seek the death penalty. Defense lawyers called the decision barbaric and accused the Trump administration of using this case as a political stunt. In addition to the federal charges, he's also facing state charges in Pennsylvania, including carrying a fake ID and carrying a gun without a license. And in other front page news, the Trump administration has started selling new Trump 2028 hats on his website. Yeah. Sparking renewed speculation about whether the Trump is actively eyeing a third run for the White House, even though the Constitution prohibits it. The red Trump 2028 hats, they go for $50 while matching T shirts with the slogan Rewrite the rules are listed at $36. The merch drop has already been raising eyebrows and fueling debate. In a comment to NBC News press secretary Caroline Levitt, she shrugged off the concerns, though, calling it a cool hat and predicting that it would be really popular. Now, to be clear, the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution clearly states that no one can be elected more than twice. Trump was elected in 2016 and again in 2014, which would make him ineligible for a 2028 run under the current law. Anybody who supports that, you know you're not a patriot. Anybody who supports that, that is, like, so un American. Like, you just wiping your ass with the Constitution. And the fact that people are having that conversation like it's normal. Like, I know smart people who are saying things like, well, if he runs in 2028, then Barack Obama can run in 2028. You're idiots. Because if Donald Trump runs in 2028, the fight is absolutely fixed. Whatever election that will happen will be all for show, just like they do in Russia. Absolutely. Absolutely. So, okay, quick switching gears a little bit. Jess, quick question. When do you start to panic about your phone battery? Like, what percentage makes you start looking for a charger? Honestly, None, Because I hate being on the phone. But really in the house, I ain't gonna lie. If I'm in the house. Yeah. I don't be having my phone on me like that. And I know that's probably hard to believe, but if I'm outside, like, 30, I don't really like to let it get. Get too low. Yeah. When I'm out, to me. Is that 10? When I hit that 10? Oh, man. Why are you letting your phone with six children out, you letting your phone get down to 10%. I know, huh? What about you, Charlemagne? What's your. What's your number? When it get in the red, When I get that notification that says. What is it, low power mode? That's 20%. Yeah. So it'll be red, but then you hit it, then it get yellow a little bit. That's why I'll be like, oh, shucks. Oh, shucks. Yeah. Well, according to a new survey, 38. Of Americans. 30. 38 is the official number for most Americans. And that's when most people start to feel the stress of their phone dying. The younger you are, the more battery stress you have. So Gen Z, they start to worry at about 44%, millennials at about 43%. Gen X and boomers, they start to panic between 34 and 38%. But the real debate, envy, is not just when you panic, but it's how you monitor. So do you. Are you. That little battery icon, do you need to see the percentage next to it or you just look at the. Is the icon just good for you? Now I look at the battery and then I click it to see how. What my percentage is like. And the reason I really worry is because everything's on phone. I don't have a key in my car. It's from my phone. To get in the crib is the phone. The lights, the phone, the ac, everything is the phone. So once that dies, it's done. That's why it dies so quick, though, because you got all them apps. Yep, yep. You got to close those apps. So it turns out there's 61% of people who say they gotta have that. That percentage on their screen. The survey was conducted by Talker Research, and it found that 34% of people say they're comfortable letting their battery drop. 20% say they need to find a charger if it gets below 10%. I think. Who said that? Was that you, Charlotte? That said if it gets below 10%, you need a charger. So you are with most Americans who feel like that's when they. They head for getting a charger. So that's me too. I need a charger when my phone gets under 10%. And that's probably one of the biggest fights in my house. Like, everybody takes a charger. Like, you put a charger somewhere and then your kid will take a charger, then your wife will take a charge and the charge is not there, or they take the charge out your car. That's probably the biggest fight in my household. Absolutely. All right, y'all. Well, that's your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me on social @mimi Brown TV.

Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa is here, and we got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed, Coco Jones. Welcome. Hi, y'all. How you feeling? I'm good. Got a new album. It's your debut album. It's my first album. Why not more? I'm going tell you right now, Def Jam don't care about you. Oh, and I'm going tell you why. I'm going tell you why. They sent your album this morning, and I said, no, we should cancel the interview because it's not fair to you as an artist, and it's not fair to us as hosts. And because, you know, you're sitting here now, and then, you know, people will be in your face talking to you about everything except for your music, and people will wonder why. Why are they always just focused on the mess? Why are they talk about everything but her music? It's because your label didn't send it until this morning. We're doing a show. Who got time to listen to the. To the album? I hear you. So, yes, that's. That's the reason why that was the holdup. So I don't know what the label told you, but that was the reason. I was like, you know what? Let's cancel the interview. Dang. So you still want to do it? Yeah, we're doing it now. But I just like that Lauren did a crash listen to the album. That's why I was rushing for these papers, okay? Because I am a fan. I do feel like you deserve your moment. But it went down how he said it went down. So we're here. I didn't get a chance to listen to it. And he was like, I ain't listen to it. I'm not going to do it like that. And he didn't say cancel. He said reschedule. He didn't say cancel. You. He was like, we should reschedule it because that's not fair to either party. It's not. You don't think I Don't think it's fair to you at all. I mean, I hear what you're saying. I definitely feel like I would want y'all to hear it if y'all would want to ask me questions about it. I also know, though, like, there's only. I only got the. Right now, you know, I'm going on tour right after I drop this album, so I do want to still talk about it, and I can still. I can share what I know. True. And y'all can listen to it. When you get to listen to it, it. Okay. I love my label. They. They need my team. They need to do better. I'm going to let you just say that they didn't send that out until this morning. Okay. This is a radio station. I got to say, you're an artist. I love my label. They be. They be doing right by me, but she only doing what I would do. If somebody talk about one of y'all, I'd be like, what? Like, don't do that. Well, we're here. Hi. Hey, y'all. How you feeling? I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. I'm happy to be here. Debut album. Yeah. But, like, you've been. I feel like your music has been so big, but this is your technical, like, first album. Yeah, it is my first album ever, which is weird, though, because I feel like, on one side, I feel like, like, deja vu in a way, but on the other side, I'm like, okay, technically, I have never put out an album, so I, I, I've been. It's, like, weird to say that, like an album. I've been used to saying ep, which. It's different. What is the difference? What do you think the difference is between the EP and an actual album? I think, honestly, the weight that they hold. I mean, an EP is like a feeler. It's a little safer. It's a little, like, less serious. And then an album is like, you know, it's a chapter. You really respect it as an entire project. And then there's, like, a way more serious, like, rollout, and there's way more intentions behind it. I feel like with my ep, there were no expectations. And now with my album, I have so many expectations. Me, myself, and then, of course, like, the world. And that's why the label should send it to people, especially radio stations, before they do interviews. Lauren, you say what you said before Coco walked in, you better keep that same energy. No, no, I have the first of all, I said it all in love, so it's going to be said, yes. But I'm making sure Jess has the album research that we have, because I do want to talk about it. Because what I feel like happens with you is you have these big moments. Like, I see you, and when those things drop, it's everything, Coco Jones. And we as fans feel like you are such a prize to R and B and what you do, you deserve that consistently. But then when things like today happen, like, if I didn't push, we wouldn't be doing this, and you deserve that moment. It's unfair to you. And I think that that's sometimes why, as a fan, we feel like your music suffers. Like, we have to, like, search for more than just, like, the clicky stuff. And, you know, like, even in listening to the music, I was happy we got to listen to it. Even though I only got the five songs because. Because I could even feel in your music, this is different, because to me, it's like you're more into yourself. There's a lot more sexual conversation of, you're a woman, you're here. And I know that that's what you want people to see you as because you've worked so hard. I don't think sometimes that the way that things appear to us as fans, that they're set up, you get that. And I don't think it's fair to you. That's what I said before you came in here. I could definitely understand that perspective. I feel like also, though, there's just so much out every freaking day, you know? So in general, it's like, who has the real formula to put everyone's eyes on that one thing all the time? If so, then everyone would copy that and then that would be a wash. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, there really is no formula. I can understand that, but I'm like, I don't even know what to tell people to do. The people that I'm seeing, they're doing what they supposed to do. Because I'm looking at you right there. I'm seeing you doing the things you know, and I'm doing everything that I'm told to do. So it's like, there's no real formula for that. It's how you look at it, and I love the way that you look at it because, like, it's a lot that you have to offer. You're an actress, you're an artist. And speaking of how we look at things, taste the visual, what made you step out and be like that? I've never seen you like that. Now you're always sexy. Always. You know what I mean? But you've never, ever popped out like that. The visual for taste. Yeah. What made you say, I'm gonna just give him a lot more sexy than I've ever before? Yeah. She was very much giving me the time is now. I never even knew that. Never even knew that she could dance like that, honestly. Pink. Pink. What was it? Clock it. Clock it, boy. Oh, my God. Clock it. I'm crying. What ignited that Coco Jones fire? What was that? Well, first of all, I mean, the song itself is sexy, but I think for me, I want people to already know. Like, hey, she does multiple different sides of her. Like, of course I can do, like, the belting, and I'm in my feelings, and I'm going there, and it's vocals and it's all of that. But, like, I don't want to do a whole show of that. You know? That's just not how I authentically feel right now. I mean, I'm 27. I have other sides to me. The way I talk with my girls, the way I talk when I'm mad. Like, I want to be able to show those different sides, too. So I feel like, when do I do that? It would have to be now, you know what I'm saying? To, like, get people warmed up to different versions of me. And honestly, when I made Taste, my album was already done. It was supposed to be out in October, and then it just wasn't flowing right, so we, you know, pushed it back. And so I kind of had no, I guess, expectations that I put on myself. And I was kind of, like, I did my part, so, like, I'm just gonna have fun. And then that led to Taste, which, to me, it was just so fun, and it was freeing, and it was scary, so I just. I just wanted to do it. Why was it scary? So what was Def Jam? You had the album since October. Def Jam didn't send it till this morning. You know what? Tell him, Shouta. Where is the grace in the room? Where is it? Where is it? Listen, I just want the best for Coco Jones. Thank you. You said that they're doing good things for you. I'm just simply saying, why not more? Okay, well, you ate that part. That's all I'm saying. But anyway, so a version of it was done in October, but a lot of it changed. A lot of it changed, like me. I mean, Taste happened because there was no. You know, there was no expectation. And it was scary because I was gonna get mixed Reactions. I knew that, like, some people were gonna be like, you're this girl. You're the same girl. Don't dance. Don't do that. Don't be sexy. You know what I'm saying? And then other people were gonna live for it, so I kind of just had to be okay with that because I feel like, what am I supposed to do? You know, it's my life too do. And I'm still a developing artist. These are the things I want to do and try. And maybe one day I'll look back. I mean, I probably will look back at some of the things that I did and be like. But, like, give me the time. Crazy, though. You. You keep it. I mean, not to be, like, funny. You keep it tasteful when you do. Absolutely. Even taste was tasteful. Yeah. And it was a nod to Britney Spears. Well, actually, though, that was a. That was. It was cut down and down and down. I really did. I'm gonna say I really did try a lot of things because I wanted to see what they look like on myself. Because also, like, I don't know how I feel doing something until I try it. So either I could live with, like, the regret and the fear of, like, I didn't. I don't even want to push it like that. Or I could try things. And luckily, I have a team who's like, try it. You know, they'll. They'll help me facilitate figuring out who I am all the way. And so I did do way more than that's in that video, but it just wasn't sitting right. Is that why. So to the timeline. He talking about October to when we getting it now. And that's why things have been, like, changing. And that's why we got the stuff late. Because everything was changing. No, the songs changed from October. Some of them changed. Some of them changed from October to now the album coming out. But taste, the video. I was just saying, like, yeah, the visual, the edits of it, like, they. It got chopped and screwed a lot because I wasn't feeling some of the ways that I looked. I wasn't feeling it for myself. Like, it didn't feel like me, you know, Some of it felt like me trying to do something versus some of it felt like me being me. And I just kept what was like, a green light in my spirit, you know? All right, we have more with Coco Jones when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess, Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren laros is here as well. We're still kicking it with Coco Jones. And that was Taste, Jess. Now, is Coco and taste. Is that, like, happy in a relationship, Coco, or like, oh, I'm getting. I'm getting done, right, Coco? I think. You know what I'm saying? Or is that just. Just a side of you that we have not seen, that you just. You know what I'm saying? I think it's just I'm grown, and, you know, me and my girls, we talk like this, like, when we. When we're flirty, like, when we're sensual, like, we grown. You know what I'm saying? Like, music is all of the things. It's in love, it's late night, it's anger. It's all of these emotions. So I wanted to. In this album, I wanted to try to show all the different sides of me and really just learn. Like, learn for myself. How did that. How did that make me feel? How did the video make me feel? How did the responses. Being on tour and seeing what people like and what they don't like, it all kind of is, like, lights up in my brain, like, okay, now I know that. Like, I feel like it highlights things. And then I'm like, oh, that's what I like. Oh, that's what I should be doing more of. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah. So, first of all, when you talk about relationships, you're glowing. Instantly. We had taste. Somebody's leaving a legacy on your lips when they kiss you, you Then you got A, E, O, M, G. American eagle. It was just something to say. It sounds when you're feeling good, when you're in the midst of all of the things. You got that one girl. You got the song where? Africa, Here we go. Is that the song where you talk about you trying to get over somebody, but it won't leave you alone because you. But you laid up with your new boo. You've been talking about being happy in these interviews, and if people are saying that, it's Donovan Mitchell. Is this your bae? Is that what's happening? I'm happy. And that's all I gotta say about it, period. I mean, you already know. So y'all know. Okay, so it is. And the music gives happy. So I'm happy for you. Donovan Mitchell, the basketball player? Yes. No, the. The sell houses I know I never heard of before. I didn't know. I didn't know that. Hey, yo, I'm crying. But no, I talk about. As much as I feel like I want to talk about Because I'm just. I'm not the type to be giving out all of my details. That's just not my truth. I give as much as I can, and I give my. When it comes to this music. So I'm like, yeah, I'm happy. And, yeah, y'all know what it is. Can I ask about this line from Here we go. Cause I'm old. I don't know what this mean, why it's gotta be your way. I want it to be mine. What you think this is, foreplay? Must be out your mind. Like, I was basically saying, when you're playing with somebody's emotions, when you in and out of their life, like, do you feel like that's funny or hot or, like, are you into that? Like, what's wrong with you? You know what I'm saying? Okay, okay, okay, okay. So. Okay, so you. Cause you use the word foreplace, but you're talking about. I get what you said. Like, are you thinking you flirting with me when you're playing with my life? When you're playing in my face? Like, are you. Do you think I like that? Because in the song, she's like, yo, I'm happy over here. I like where I'm at. But you just. You pop up in my. Likes you showing up places like, you think that this is, like, this is it. Like that. No, leave me alone. But he's not leaving her alone. And those guys be kind of low key, having a little hold, even though they shouldn't like the guy. So if you're moved on and you're trying. No, just continue. Everybody has had that person that, you know can always slide back. Back. He's a hater. Trust me, not L. He's a Hector. You're right. I don't have that. Because I'm disconnected from anything toxic. And I'm moving into my glory and my happiness. Wow. I love that. AKA I'm single, nobody wants me. You know what? That is so foul. I know. I know. They be in your phone, but you just be blocking things that I'm g. They. He won. Oh, it's the one. Oh, I'm not even trying to get into Guilty. That was one. We pivoted. Pivoted. Yes. So. So that was one. Where are we going with this? When did it turn into one? Anyway, I got a question. Thank you. Because I read my words. Why? Why not more. What? What did you. Did you come up with that title? Okay, so it's one of the songs that is on the album. It's actually featuring YG Marley. And it's really dope. It's like an island vibe. And I really love that title because I felt like that's what I kept asking myself, why would I hold back? You know, why wouldn't I do the things that I feel like I really want to do? And I feel like all the answers were rooted in fear, like, oh, they might not like it or it might not work. And I'm like, I would rather just try things and be able to like learn from them then than not try and wonder what would have happened if, you know. So that kind of led to why Not More being the album name. But also I feel like it was a little less serious, like it was being why Not More or like self titled Coco, whatever. But I'm like, I don't even know if I fully know Coco yet myself. So I don't know if that's my truest, truest, truest truth to name my album. That I feel like why Not More resonated with me more because I'm just. I ask myself a lot of questions. I ask my team a lot of questions. I'm very curious and I'm still like trying to figure it out. I love that because it feels like, you know, you give your all to everything you do. So when you give your all, but Def Jam doesn't. How does that make you feel? Why are you still on that? You know what? What? Why? I'm just asking. I want something from the store. This is crazy. It is crazy. Here's what I really feel. I really feel like it takes a lot of effort and time to make an artist work and for a developing artist. And I feel like what I really want people to do is to look at me with the perspective of I'm not trying to do the trending here today and I'm gone type thing. I'm trying to make things that are timeless. But that takes time and that takes effort. And I feel like I have a team that does a lot for me and has effort for me. I wouldn't be up here saying that if that wasn't my truth. You know what I'm saying? Well, they dropped the bar this morning and at a crucial time like this, they shouldn't be doing that. That's all I'm saying. So when would you prefer to listen to it? A week ago. You were on the schedule a week ago. We should have marinated with the album for a while to really be able to have a conversation. I think albums are different than movies. I don't like to watch movies before I have conversations with people about their movies, because you don't want to spoil it, but I think albums are different. Okay, well, I got five singles out. Did you listen to them? I listened to them. They've been out. When you let me hear this morning, Taste. And it was another one. What was the one you let me this morning? Here I go. Here we go. Taste. He needed to hear that. A, E, O, M, G. So he knows American Eagle. Omg. Is that, like, for a commercial? You think so? Yeah. He said American Eagle. Oh, my God. What does that mean? For real, though, what's the acronym? A, E. Omg. So basically, it's just, like, a freaky song, and it's like legs on the ceiling got me. Like A, EOMG Like. Like, it's just something to say. It's just. I know what the OMG is, but what is the ae? It was like. You know how we say your vowels? A, E, I, O, U. It was like that. Like, she. It's just, yeah, yeah, yeah. We were just having fun. I ain't doing it right. I never made nobody screaming, no vowels. I can't do that. I can't with that. But, no, I'm really excited, and you can listen to the album, and then I'm curious to hear your thoughts next time I see you. Absolutely. I love how you defend your team. I love how you speak up for your team, and I love the fact that your mom has been, like, by your side through all this. Is she your manager? No, my mom's not my manager. She. She was for that. The time when there was nobody, you know? But no, I feel like now my mom is more like my wise counsel, you know? Love that. Yeah, it was definitely. Make sure to tell her. Make sure to tell her. Make sure to tell Def Jam. Make sure to tell your mom about Def Jam Gym. She's gonna watch this. She gonna watch it. She probably gonna be in your dm. Definitely. She gonna say thank you. Okay. What were your earliest memories of wanting to be who you are now? Was that your dream, or did somebody instill that dream in you? It was definitely me. Like, even when I look at little kid videos of me, like, I would be, like, not even fully forming sentences. But I would be singing, though. And they'd be like, sing. And I'd be like, yes, I would love to sing. So it was. It was always me. I didn't think that, like. Like, it could be a tangible job, though. Like, I knew sports was a real job because my dad played the NFL. So I was like, okay, this is a real job. This can actually be something you do. But I didn't know music could be something you really do. I saw it on TV and I thought, you know, those people are doing that. But it wasn't until, like, my mom introduced me to the opportunities that I was like, you can try to do this yourself. Like, it's something I could do. And then I was hooked. There was no stopping me. You know, when you're really stressed or not feeling so great about your life or about yourself, talking to someone who understands can really help. But who is that person?

So listen to the K factor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This isn't just a podcast. It's a movement. Are you ready? Let's go. Let's Go. Then you also had options because you got into acting as well. Yeah, yeah. So which bug do you think you know, I guess infected you the most? Music, definitely. Yeah. I respect acting because it's definitely outside of my comfort zone. And it's stories that are, like, outside of me. And you do it well. Thank you. Thank you. But I think music is, like. It's just like home to me. It just feels safe. So that was your first love of it in acting? Yeah, absolutely. Are you looking forward to more film, though? Oh, yes. I literally went to South Africa this year to do a film, and I really think it's going to be dope. Ideally, I would love to be able to do both every year. I think that that's really cool when. When artists can do that. So I want to try to keep that up. All right, we have more with Coco Jones when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lorna Rosa's here as well. We're still kicking it with R B singer and actress Coco Jones. Her new album, why Not More? Is out now. Jess, did you see that viral video of you? And the reason why I asked, did you see it? Because a lot of people don't be saying stuff for themselves. Like, just because it hits blogs don't mean you see it. But this is why I was so shocked when I saw a Taste. Because it was a video a couple weeks ago that I saw that went viral, and it was you rehearsing. But she was looking like, I ain't doing all that. Cause they was, like, gyrating on each other. I guess your choreographer or whoever was displaying what they wanted you to do, and you were looking at it like, uh. Your face was like, I'm not doing it. No. I was so scared. It was okay. So he was throwing her up in the air. Yes. And I'm tall, but I don't like heights that I can't. That ain't my choice, you know? So that's why I was looking scared as hell. But I was proud of myself. I told. I told the choreographer at lee. I said, said, do what you would do, not what you think I can do. And let me see what happens after that. If it's too hard, I'm gonna tell you, girl, it. And some of it was just too hard. But I was proud of myself for, like, trying it. I was literally in a hoop. I had an aerialist come and, like, teach me how to be in the hoop. And for one part of the video, I really was proud of myself. I went outside my comfort zone. I was living for it. Yeah, you talked about earlier, the moment you said when people weren't checking for you. It was like when you. In between your Disney, like, your next song and stuff of that nature. And I watched an interview with where you were saying that you were, like, almost embarrassed to go out and get a job at certain points and things of that nature. How do you do. Because people were virally saying things about where you've been and stuff. How do you deal with those moments when you're viral? But it's like, for stuff that you don't care to be viral for now that you know yourself a bit, but you're still figuring yourself out. I'm like, the Internet isn't real. I'm like, what is this place? It's not even, like, for real. What's real is the people that I tangibly talk to who know me, you know? So I'm like, this is so not real. Real. So if something is going viral, I mean, I might get a little summer drop, like, because I'm, like, used to people talking about my music only. And so anything else is getting. It's like, it's still new to me that people care about what I got going on. Personally, I'm like, y'all care about that. Okay. How can we talk about your music? That's not your fault, though. Let's talk about Def Jam. Continue. Anyway, I really don't take it seriously because I feel like people's attention span is so short. It'll be important today, gone tomorrow. Yeah. If you don't talk about it. That's why I had to ask you, did you see the video I'm talking about? Because. Right. A lot of people are so far removed from social media and the Internet. It's not a real place. It's a whole bunch of people who just say. And. And just because they feel like they can have a voice now, it's like, all right, cool. So even when people are, like, talking, I'm like, they still talking. I'm like, go stream that record. If you're upset about something, go stream it. The algorithm doesn't know the difference. I know. That's right. I'm not mad. I'm not blocking nobody. If you want to talk, keep. Keep it on. I need them to know that you're active on this page. Go ahead. You probably can't wait to write a song about this, him getting on your nerves all day. Today. Oh, yeah. Please don't write a song. I am here for Coco. Coco was born in South Carolina. She was raised in Tennessee. But, you know, she got that South Carolina. So I just want her to always be getting done right now. People do. Stan, you though. You feel that. You feel people stand you. I know when, girl. Yes, Yes. I thought you said Sting. No, Stan, you like when something had. Because I. I don't. I don't think it's the Disney stuff, because sometimes they do that with certain child actors and child stars. But I think it's just because we feel that you really care about your work. Yeah. So when anything else happens, like when the sza. The Shannon Sharp question about Sizzle's bbl and it's a commented. Yeah. The world was. There was. It was a stand thing. It was like, this was not for Coco. And then SZA came out and said, now, why would that be a Coco Jones question? I love sza. I was like, I. I was really caught off guard by that. But, yeah, no, I do feel the energy. And. And people tell me all the time, like, when I see them and they're like, we're so proud of you. Like, we're rooted for you. I'm like, thank you. I'm like, thank you. I. I don't really know how to feel because for such a long time, I was like, you. You in your brain are like, ain't nobody. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Really? And then to see. Trust me, it was giving Desert island. It's because you had highs and lows. That's what I was talking about earlier. Cuz when you. When you. When the low hit, you were out the way. You weren't doing much anything and you had to come on the Internet. Damn. Lord. No, that's real. She's talked about this publicly. Yeah, I literally have said. Yeah. She had to go online and talk. I did a whole video about this. Yes, girl. Okay. People who know. No, because she do that to people. I ain't gonna tell you what she said to Jonathan Majors. That was crazy. It was not Shade. That was. No, it's because I'm locked into your journey. And I. I appreciated your journey because you talked about, yo, this is what's really happening right now. Even though I don't want to tell y'all. And that's why I think we, like, lock in with you because we can identify the ups and downs and it real. Yeah. And you gotta fight to come back. And when you come back, it's always good music. Use it facts and I do appreciate that. I really, really do. I do feel the love, and I want to, like, give something good in return for the people who care, you know, and support me. I'm trying. I want to give something good. So I'm glad that, like, y'all know that I really, really care about my stuff. Yeah, real. I'm trying to make stuff that lasts. But, yeah, I love what I do. And I would. I would do it all again, even though it was so uncomfortable at that point for this payoff and for. Also to inspire the next girl. Like, take it easy on yourself. You have some grace. It don't mean it's you. Sometimes they just don't know, you know. What point did you get to that point where you was like, yo, bro, I'm doing everything I can do? I feel like that's always kind of where I was at. I couldn't stop doing, like, what I loved because it was still so important to me. But I think when I told. When I did that video about everything that happened, I was like, this might be the last thing I ever do. So I'll just keep it real. I'm gonna just keep it real. I don't know what's gonna come after this, but, yeah, I feel like that was always my truth. Like, I'm giving it everything I got so I can live with that. Yeah, it's just life. In life, you got. If you really believe in God, you got to respect the process. Real, period. I don't even believe in so called good or bad. I just believe everything is part of one long process. Whatever I'm going through, this is what God want me to go through. I completely agree with that. And I think there's a certain amount of faith too, that, like, if you know it's on the way, how would you move? Move. That's right. And so sometimes I would post that cover. Oh, delete the app. Because I knew the engagement was so low. But if I. If it was on the way, how would I move? I would still do this. I would still put my voice out there. I would still write songs. I would still do videos. I would still do it. You know, I would still go to auditions if I knew it was on the way. Me and my best friend would talk about this all the time because we was both going through it at the same time. We actually met on set, me and my best friend. We met on a Disney Channel show when we were, like, 14. Who's your best friend? Jalen. Her name is Jalen Barron. She's an Amazing actress. Check her out, period. She's on a lot of shows and she does her big one. Oh, that's. I know that's right. Best friend. I would never do my best friend like that. Cuz she a clown that I met. Joey. Sheila. Yeah, that's the baby. She get on my nerves. Yes, child. No. I'm crying. It's all right. I'm crying. Are we getting. Are we Getting a Season 4 of Bel Air or. You can't talk about it. I can talk about it. We do. We're doing the season four actually, while I'm on tour, I'll be filming some of it. I'll. I'm gonna come back to do my episodes, but it'll be the fourth and final season. But I think it's good that we know it'll be the final season so we can do everything with like the intention of like. Okay, let's put a bow on it. Yeah. And I'm really excited. I think we've done something great that we, you know, it's a blessing to keep people's attention. Yes, ma'am. For more than a one season, more than one episode. So I'm proud of what we've done and I hope it inspires more black TV shows, you know, that represent us and show networks like this is profitable. Yeah. So keep it up. I'm happy for us. Are you happy? Yeah. Okay. That's all that matters. I am happy. Okay. Coco Jones, Why not? More is available everywhere. You get your music now. Do you want people to buy it? Screaming, I don't even know how to. I want people to buy it. Okay, I'm sorry, but if you go to. You need to buy that because, look, the. The album equivalent units, you know what I'm saying? You know. Oh, yeah, just buy it. I love a stream, but go ahead and stream if you're going to stream it. But if you want to do anything, buy by. You buy the album, y'all, period. All right.

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she has facts, sometimes she have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. No, I was thinking about something, bro. Never mind. No, Jess thought that Mike Jones, the rapper was Coco Jones daddy. No, I didn't. Yeah, I didn't. Did you do that for real? No. He told me that father was Eddie Jones. I was like, what? All right. Who's Eddie Jones? He was like, no, no, Mike Jones. I'm like, mike Jones was her father. Stupid. You a stolen. Got it, yo. Well, completely left turn. I'm sorry. Yeah. What you got? I thought that was pretty funny. Shannon Sharpe has finally stepped away from espn. And I say finally because the people say, why? You say finally because the people have been trying to figure out what was going to happen. So when I say finally, I more so mean, like, now we have an answer to what's about to happen with him and espn. So he came out with a statement yesterday. Shannon Sharp posted this statement saying. His statement is found here. He says, this is the truth. The relationship is in question. Was 100 consensual. At this juncture, I'm electing to step aside temporarily from my ESPN duties. I'll be devoting this time to my family and responding to dealing with these allegations that are false and disruptives that are disruptive that are set against me. I plan to return to ESPN at the start of the NFL preseason. I sincerely appreciate the overwhelming and ongoing support I have received from my family, friends, fans and colleagues. Shannon Sharp. So there it is. He decided to step away. I think, you know, it's a lot of attention thrown the network's way. And you know what I find interesting about that whole statement situation? What? ESPN hasn't released one yet. Okay. Shannon's plan may not be be ESPN's plan, but we shall soon see. Oh, ESPN. They say nothing. Nope. ESPN hasn't said anything yet. That's been another thing. The only thing that close to what ESPN is saying was what we were told from Stephen A. Smith from one of the presidents at espn. Yeah, I'll be. I'll be honest. I don't. I don't like things like this. Right. And I'm gonna tell you why. Right. I understand. It's a lot of noise. There's a lot of people talking, but that's what the opposition wants. That's what they want. They want you to be Embarrassed. They want you to start losing money. They want you to start doing that so they feel like that you will settle out and you'll forced to settle out. Now if, if he really didn't do it and this was part of his kinky thing and it was what it was and he didn't do it and he's innocent. And the fact that he has to step away now, possibly losing his job, if he has bills and not having bills because now he has no work, I don't like that. If he didn't do it. Because that's what they want him to do. Yeah, they want him to be embarrassed. They want him to feel away. Because what's going to happen, he's gonna be like, you know what? F all this, let me just settle out on the side. That's what they're forcing him to do. Really? Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure Disney still has moral clauses though. Like, you know, regardless of, you know, anything. I don't know if what he, if anything he did was criminal, but there's still moral clauses. But when you talk about moral clauses. Right. I can do without and I'm not, I don't know what happened. We don't know. But from, from the outside, I can do what I want to do in my bedroom. Yes. Right. What, what I do in my bedroom is my business. But once somebody and I didn't put it out, I didn't film it and put it out. If somebody secretly take me and put it out, I just think that's wrong. You can't do that. It's not black and white like that though, but time out. I think you're missing something. There's an audio phone call of him saying that he was going to choke her. Now whether or not that was role playing or not, it's perceived as a video. It's a of a Shannon Sharp saying he's gonna choke this 19 year old girl, however old she is. Right. So that is enough to say, hey, you know what, you need to sit down for a while. But is it, if it's a tape secret call and it is role playing, let's just say, and I don't know if his role playing, but we don't know, he's saying it's role playing, saying she's saying it's not right. But if, if it is and it's secretly taped and this is my secret business, if I, if I'm into bd, what is it? Bdsm? What is it going to come out though and be like they have to know that for a fact. They don't know right now. So why the brother? So you really guilty and you gotta prove yourself innocent. He's not fired as of now. As of now, he's just taking a step away. Yeah. And he stepped down. What I think. I'm just saying I don't like that what I think happened, because what normally happens, and this is just me, this is not anything I've been told, but normally, you know, they'll come to you and say, hey, we prob. Are going to lean towards you taking a step back. If you want to take the narrative and you just say, you step back, go ahead. Which allows him to. You know what I mean? It doesn't turn the conversation additionally negative. It's already negative. It makes it feel you're guilty, and then you got to prove yourself innocent. Opposed to innocent, to proving yourself. A lot of noise. Yeah, I think. I think. Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. And then I. He could have been reading a pornhub headline. Like, that's. I'm just saying, like, you know, because I'll be watching those little categories all the time, and it's like he couldn't absolutely watching it for sure. But it's like, I've seen that headline before. Black man chokes, you know, young white girl. And, you know, I. I've seen that. Well, whatever he was doing, he gotta sit down until ESPN can find that same video, maybe send him the link. And there's just a lot of things Shannon has against him right now, including the audio of him saying, you know, he was gonna. He'll choke her out, including his lawyer saying they were gonna settle for $10 million. So I totally understand him saying. Saying, you know what? I'm gonna take a step back. Once again, he lucky ESPN ain't saying nothing yet. Yeah, you. You pointing. I understand what you're saying, Envy, but it's not on espn. Shannon said he needed. Yeah, no, no, I get it, but I just. I. I just feel like that's. You basically are saying that that man is guilty and he has to prove his innocence. That's Shannon. Shannon took a step back. Ain't nobody saying nothing to Shannon. I know. Shannon took the step back. The audio is just crazy because even she. If you listen closely, she had, like, the seductive, retarded voice on. You know what I'm saying? When she's like, you know, it's like, you know, because you do sound a little behind, but she still, like, sound like she trying to be sultry, you know, like seductive. That is the worst part of I get what just saying because I'm like you're trying to figure it out. Shannon, how you so green to fall? Yes, that's what I'm saying. I don't think he's six years old. He's been famous for a long time and he's been doing this for a long time I don't know about and then hasn't. He clearly hasn't been doing it for a long time. Because these are rookie mistakes. You. First of all, 56 years old talking to a 19 year old is ridiculous. All right. 54 talking to a 19 year old and then letting that 20 something year old talk to you like that on text messages and on phone and you sitting there talking and recorded on video. That's how you know it's been going on for a while. So he felt like he was in the trusted. You know, I can trust you by now. You've been, you've been rocking with me for a while. Yeah. I'm saying there was a story that came out yesterday from sources close to Shannon Sharp that said that, that they, you know, these sources are saying that they, they had engaged in that, those sexual acts over a hundred times. The relationship started around like 2022 or 2023. So it's been a couple years. But wherever that trust was broken, baby is it broke because right now he having an answer to some things and ESPN or him taking a step back. It's a lot of noise right now. And by the way, this is the main thing and I've been saying this all week, discipline, instability, clearly he lacks it. You cannot be 54 years old hollering at a 19 year old. That was his first mistake. Mistake. So he made a poor choice. That's why he's in this situation. Nobody calls this on Shannon Sharp except for Shannon Sharp. No, I, I totally agree with you. Right. He's not like is ethically and morally. It just seems crazy. It seems crazy. But, but if he had consensual sex with this girl, it's legal and he is a victim. If, if he had consensual sex and they playing this to get some money. Yes, he is a victim. If that's the case. I don't know what the case is because we hearing both sides. Yes, yes, he made a Choice as a 54 year old. But he could have had consensual sex with this woman. He could have had consensual sex. If he had consensual sex and they are, if they are lying then he is a victim. I think you're missing my point. Consensual. Even if it was consensual, it's still stupid. It is stupid. I'm not. I'm not saying it's not stupid. It's morally and ethically wrong. Yes, but if. If they're lying on him, but legally he's a victim. It is stupid. It's dumb. It's the dumbest thing I've heard of a 54 year old man talking to a 19 year old. But if he had consens sex and they lying and that was role play. Destiny is not a matter, Jess. Don't you feel like you watching your parents argue? Yes. Wait till I release the text message from Charlton. If Shannon was my homie, that's what I'd be telling him. You put yourself in this situation. We always. It is stupid. You right? Please don't release any text envy for me and Charlamagne. Yes. We all love working together. That's crazy, right? Well, really quick as we wrap up, I just want to send some prayers to Gilbert Arenas and Laura Govinda. Their son, Elijah Arenas was involved in a very serious car accident in la and he is right now in a medically induced coma because of some smoke inhalation. Inhalation. Because the cyber truck he was in caught on fire. And I. I received a statement from the family. They're just asking for prayers and some privacy right now. So. Just wanted to send some prayers their way. Ab definitely sending prayers up. And. And I want to say something too, man, before I know every about to do his people's choice mix. Please make sure you're wearing Dior deodorant and please make sure you got the right deodorant on. The temperature is really changing in a lot of places. It's getting warm. Don't get caught out there smelling musty because I got caught yesterday and I haven't. You were smelling musty yesterday. I haven't. I haven't smelled musty in years. And I was shocked. And I know I. I know I had deodorant on. But you had black soap. What happened? I don't use no goddamn black soap. I used to use black soap, but I had a crew neck on. And when I took that crew neck off, I was like, what is that? Oh, hell no. And then you be walking around giving everybody. Giving everybody tight stops and talks to everybody. You just are spreading that must off over the city. I don't. I don't know what happened, but I'm just telling you right now, don't get caught out there. Make sure you wear deodorant and make sure you got the right deodorant on. The temperature is changing, you know what I mean? It's definitely going to stink at that festival, my brother. You going to get the Black Effect Festival hugging you from afar. We smelling you out there, my brother. Stop buying that deodorant from them Grand Rising kings. That's Lauren. Lauren. Lauren, you should hush because there's been a lot of talk behind your back that I won't speak on right now. Speak on it.

That's. They. They gave everybody the credit they wanted to deserve. They gave everybody the credit they deserve for being stupid. And I do want to say to the person who called. We called a dumbass. He was a dumbass. Okay? Right. But I just want him to know what the 22nd Amendment says. The 22nd Amendment limits. Limits a president to two elected terms, a total of eight years. And you know what it says? No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice. Simple and plain. So I don't know what the hell he was talking. Goofy, y'all. Just goofy. That's it. Have a great day. All right, now, when we come back, Key Glock will be joining us. His new album, glockavelli, is out May 2nd. We'll talk to him. Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Key Glock, ladies and gentlemen. What's up? Yo, yo, how you doing, my brother? How you feeling? Chilling. I'm chilling. New album, Glockavelli, May 2nd. Somebody said that this was one of the most anticipated albums of spring 2025. I think pitchforks that day. Yeah, for sure. More definitely. I think of the year, though. Like, Lavelli. Is it. Is it a playoff? Of course. Pac's Machiavelli. It. It come from Machiavelli, for sure, but it's not. I didn't like all the Way Copy Pac style. You mean the actual Machiavelli? You were studying that? No, I didn't study it. Okay. Pac did. Like, a lot of people don't even know about the Prince Machiavelli, But I know about it because I knew about. I read about Park. Yeah, you have a personal connection to the Dear Mama song because your mom was in jail. Okay, so we hear about that in Glockavelli or. No, no. Okay, so it ain't really okay? No, not this song. What can we expect? Different angle. It's like. It's more mature. Like, I made more mature music this time on this album than just fun. Ym. Yeah. Yeah. So we got some mature features. Nah, I ain't got there, though. We ain't got there yet. So what do you mean, more mature? What are you talking about? You talking about more about your life more? What's going on? Yeah, it's just like everything is brought to the light more now. Everything is bolder. Yeah, you had a crazy couple of years. Are you. Are you bleeding that into the music of everything, your feelings and all that that your fans for sure. On this tape. Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of it. There's gonna be a lot. Was it difficult to do because you don't talk that much, so you don't really express your feelings? We know, we know your music, we know your cars, we know your jewelry, your sneakers. But we don't know key Glock unless he, you know, fills us in. Well, the only reason why I made songs like this on this tape is because I took a break last year and I was just taking care of everything like far as my personal life and at home and like I couldn't do that by being on the road and in the studio studio the whole year, all the time. So I had to take a pause like on music, get myself together. So while I was getting myself together, everything was just. Just hitting harder. So. Yeah, so you said. Was it because you was a new father? Because what, your daughter's what, three now, right? Yeah, she three. She just turned three. So you was taking the time to be a father. What you was. It was there. It was taking time to be a father, being a great son, you know what I'm saying? A loyal friend. Just everything I had to just tighten up, basically. But you did that break when your record was at its peak. Like, well, let's go. Was. Was really. You kind of took a break. Cuz it, it. Yeah, let's go though. I feel like it was just. It just kept going. It never stopped you sitting on some paper too. If you could take a year break, bro. Take a two year break. That's what's up. I. So you said you. This, this is more mature. So obviously you're. You did some. A little bit of deep diving. Because on the song Grinch you say, I've been running wild since legit. 14 turned into the Grinch. What happened in your life around 14 that influenced that? I just thought I was grown. I just. That's when I really was like full blown in the streets. I thought I was grown already. I was 14, but I thought I was like 24. Yeah. Yeah. I always wanted to ask, right? And God rest the dead. When you put a back to Dolph's cause God bless the D. God bless it there. Was that real or was that y'all just doing it because you broke his windows? I'm like, nah, cousins and no cousins. Family. No family. Only five minutes after it was real. But it's like when we have. When you having fun, like with money it's like. And money just materials. Like, we don't idolize this. We don't too much care for this. Like, we know how to make it. We know it's gonna come back. So, bro, you took a baseball bat and broke his window. There wasn't nothing, bro. Trust me. It might look like it was. So. I know you got a lot of cars, too, but I know how much windshields cost. The windows cost. Exactly. You're looking at every Instagram like, I'm gonna get my bat one day and go to Jerry. Nah, he ain't gave me no reason to. That's the Y'all just laugh about. Yeah, we really do. It's a lot of stuff that just go on that don't even be on camera. Like, we. It's just. It's just tough love. Me and all my homeboys. Yeah, we had Ryan Coogler up here last night week. You know, he's the guy that just wrote and produced Sinners Movie, Creed, Black Panther, Both of us out. Like, for the last at least month, I've been on Dolph so heavy. I've just been listening to Mad Dolph music. And he was on the same wave. And I was just like, what is going on? Energetically, that just people on Dolph now, bro just had a good spirit. And it's like, when you got a good spirit like that, no matter where you at, no matter if you hear or. Or not, here is like, your spirit is gonna live on through people. You feel like people credit Dolph and Pre for what they've done for artists and definitely for the sound of Memphis. Doing call shows with Dolph and the family PR e you get a different experience. Cause you see the inside workings on how they move and how they're. So as a unit, do you feel like people don't get to see that as much they know, but it's like they don't see it as much. But I ain't a lot the way the type of person person Dolph was, he made sure every year, like, as far as Thanksgiving or back to school, if he wasn't doing it, I was doing it. If I wasn't doing it, another artist was doing it. So it was like it was all the same thing. Yeah. I saw you sign with Republic Records, right? Did you think about Dolph when you did that? He was like, okay, what would bro do right now? Like, would he want me to sign the Republic? Would he want me to stay independent? Because I remember you also said, you didn't want to sign until you accomplished a lot. Independent, independently. Right, Right. So what. What were the things that made you solidify? You know what? Now's the time to sign the Republic. I ain't gonna lie. Don't nobody even notice. I'm gonna drop a bomb on y'all. The week before Dog passed in Memphis, him, Daddy O, and a couple of more of our circle just had, you know, just. Just regular talk. Just had a round table talk. And so Crazy Dog says, like, if anything go left, like, if anything happened to me, take Glock to. You know what I'm saying? To Republic, to A Laser, to the major, to the majors. Yeah. Cause there was always me and him in talks anyway. Like, I never wanted to be the biggest independent artist. This was his thing. Like, it was his stilo. I never wanted to take that away. But we always knew how much money we could make with the major, so that's why I really kind of did it. Oh, so you already. In your mind, you already had his blessing? You already knew what it was? Yeah, it was gonna happen anyway. It just was. It wasn't rushed or forced. Like, it wasn't even needed now. It just was. Okay. I know Bird wanted me to do this. Like, he didn't say it for no reason. And it wasn't no coincidence. He said it, like, a week before. You know what I'm saying? What's something that Dolph told you that didn't hit at the time, but it makes all the sense in the world now, man. We can't rush and put this music out. I never understood this, like, my first two, three years in the game. He was strategic with his. Yeah, I never understood it first because I was recording so much. I. As soon as I recorded, put it out. I didn't. I didn't understand the industry at the time like I do now. Yeah, now, they said you got a lot of records with him before. Before he passes there. A plan to do it. Please, man, I need some. I need some. What's the plan for all that? It's in route. I'm just let y'all know. It's in rap. It's in route. Full project, full album. It's in rap. It's in route. How do you know when really, it ain't it? I know to me, you ask me, I drop a tape every. That's how music I do. That's how much music I got. But you just gotta. You just gotta be strategic with stuff. All right, we got more with Key Glock. When we Come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess, Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Key Glock. His new album, Glock Valley is out May 2nd. Charlemagne. How do you protect Dolph's legacy in the decisions you make now musically and personally? Personally, we think the same way. Like, before I even do certain stuff, I, I say to myself, I ask myself, what would bro do? Or I just go with my gut because nine times out of ten it's this God let me know. So I ain't gonna go against it, so I'll be straight. The fact that you have a three year old daughter, how does that impact the music for you? Of course you're talking now and you know, you breaking things down to, I, I know she daddy's girl. How does that impact your music? It don't affect my music too much because like, my lifestyle is gonna always be my lifestyle. And I don't want her to just know her daddy is all the way is like Glock, basically. Yeah, she know I'm an artist or whatever, but she don't, she don't know what I'm rapping about right now. You get what I'm saying? So it's just all fun of her. She don't even know I'm a celebrity. She just, I'm dead ass. So, yeah, when you're moving around, you feel, you see everything that's going on. Especially in Memphis and anywhere really, Louisiana and Atlanta. Do you feel safe being an artist? I ain't gonna lie, bro. Ain't no, ain't nowhere safe. You gotta be on point wherever you go. Even if you in Denver, Colorado, like, you can't let your guard down nowhere. You feel like Memphis is a place where they don't like to see their own. Oh yeah, we crabs in the bucket for sure until you, you get to a certain extent. That's interesting you said that because I always see people give you props for having a great ear for beats that fit into like that Memphis trap sound. Yeah. So how do you maintain that being that you're not there no more? It's, it's really in me, bro. I ain't gonna lie. This. I got years of, of music in me, like from my grandma, uncles, cj. Like, all type of music, all type of sounds just. Just stuck with me. That's why I got like just a, a good ear for this. I like the single the Grinch. Right. Was there a period where you were feeling like that, like you was feeling like, I guess just bitter and disgruntled and angry. Well, I was an angry kid, bro. I was an angry kid only because, like, my. My pops wasn't in my life. Like, I knew him, but he wasn't being a father. And my mom, she was already incarcerated away from me. So I was raised by my grandma and my great grandmama. So it's like I'm only so much they can teach me, you know what I'm saying? So did. Did you ever resent your mom for that? Like, get mad at her? Yeah, of course. Because I was young, I was like, I. Only I ain't even. I don't even know what she did at the time. I think I was like nine. I was like, it's. It's your fault that you not with me. Like, I'm just. I was just basically just growing up and maturing, but I was still like pissed off a kid, you know what I'm saying? So I'm like, I'm having football games I got at school. I'm seeing mamas and daddies pulling up, you know what I'm saying? And supporting. Like I'm one of the star players. But, like, it's cool how my grandma pulling up. It's like I wanted that. That feeling of my mother to see this, like, you know what I'm saying? So where are your relationship today? Best friend Backbone. I see. I'm good now. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. So you forgave. You understood? Yeah, of course. Of course. I was just. I was just young, bro. I didn't. I didn't understand. I didn't understand. How long did that take? To forgive her? To understand? When you had your first kid, I was like. Like 13 or 14. I didn't know about no state and feds and stuff at that younger age, bro. Like, I just knew I had to go visit her every week or every other week at this building with barbed wire everywhere, my grandma taking me and we gotta go through metal detectives and like, I remember yesterday. Yeah, yeah. Did they tell you that you was actually visiting her in jail? Did they say something like, oh, she's just. No, I wasn't like, going to see your mama. Yeah. I a say nothing. Bar wires. I really didn't. Really didn't know. I. No, I wasn't studying that. In your mind. You like, why you rather be heading with me at home? Yeah. It's like once I got older, it start registering. It's like something ain't right, you know what I'm saying? Did she ever have a conversation with you, like, this is what I did to be taken away from you? Yeah. How old were you? 13, 14. Okay. If you don't. Basically when I could start understanding more. Yeah. If you don't mind me asking, what did she get locked up for? You saying set it off? Yes, it was. It was some like that. Her, two of her friends and our cousin, they. They did some robbing. That's hard. Yeah. You ever thought about that? Say you should make a movie about it. They already did. Not forget the Memphis perspective, though. Yeah. N. For real, though. She writing a book, though. She writing a book right now. Did you ever feel that same type of anger when. When Dolph was tragically taken from us? Man, I'm still mad, but I'm. I'm good, though. I ain't going to lie. I never. I never get over. I'm good. I learned how to accept it, though. How does it feel? Every time it pops back up in the news, it feels like it gives you a chance to kind of release. I just hate. I hate seeing it. I ain't going to lie. I just hate seeing it. But, yeah, that's all. I try my best to just stay off. Y'all was actually family, though. Y'all was cousins, right? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. So it would be hard for you to even have that kind of relationship with somebody else anyway. Kinda. Kinda. Yeah, kinda. Did it bring you any sort of relief to see that, you know, when his killers were sentenced. I don't even want to speak on it. Okay. Yeah. That's what you gonna do. Totally get it. Do you put a lot of that in the music? What? Just the frustration, the anger. Like, I probably did on one or two songs, but it was probably like, one line. I ain't just go all the way in on it. Yeah. Y'all just don't know this. Drive me somewhere else, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Have you tried to grieve properly, though? Have you given yourself a chance to. Is that part of the year? Taking off the year, too? I ain't gonna lie. I'm. I'm agreed for life. Like, I done accepted that. I already know. Know that. But it's not gonna, like, period me or make me. You know what I'm saying? Do some. Do something that I'm gonna regret? Basically, yeah. Should we be expecting any visuals? You know, your visuals go crazy, like on a movie tip. Cinematically, we gonna expect any. I'm actually. I'm just waiting on this. It's final to come through, but, yeah, I'm planning on dropping one of the Grinch. Yeah. Oh, okay. Did you ever think about doing short films? Just, like, movies, anything like that? Yeah. I think I'm gone. Like, have to write my own, do my own. Cause I ain't finna wait on nobody. Come reach out. Dolph had. He was doing Move. He was about to do a movie. And, yo, this is the craziest thing, going back to what you said about him creating opportunities for people. He had literally hit me up and asked me to be in a movie that he was about to make, bro. With you? Yeah, man. And I really, really would have loved to do that. That's something that you. That you really been thinking about doing. Getting into that. Yeah. So she wants you to continue on that relationship. I'm Super P. I. I know how to talk. Got you. Let's get into a record. What you want here? Play the Grinch. Hell, yeah. Key Glock, ladies and gentlemen. Let's get to the Grinch. The album comes out May 2nd. He's going on tour in May? Yeah, starting May 21st. That's right. He's in Oklahoma City, Houston, Austin, Dallas, Birmingham, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Baltimore and New York. So make sure you pick up the album, pick up tickets.

Dj, Come spin now. Come spin. What's up, Nyla? What's up, guys? Nyla Simone. Big Nyla. Yes. What's poppin? Certified viber. Certified viber. I like that. What's happening? I think I gotta use that as, like, a tribal name for the crew. Come on. With the hair. I like the hair. I was ready to say the hair is. I like the hero, Giv. It's giving. Fly stud. I love. No, it's not. Why? Why you study? See, he don't even know what it is, but he know it ain't right. But okay, so today I'm going to start off with a record that's not necessarily new, but I heard it in a coffee shop. And it's from an artist that I really am a fan of. Her name is Leia. She's actually from Staten Island, Feeling. And it's called Ain't Sad About It. But, like, the vibe is just super dope. Who that again? Yeah, Leia. She hard. That's hard. So she signed the Warner Brothers. Oh, really? Yeah. So she signed the Warner Bro. Warner Records. How you Spell that. Nyla. L, A, Y, A. That's Leia. It popped right up. Ain't said about it. I like that. Yes, that's hard. Shout out to Layla. Best to mess her name up. It's just Leia. It's early. It's early, but okay. Yes, definitely. Make sure you guys tune in to Leia. And shout out to Aura, who produced it. One of my favorite. And you said you heard it in a coffee shop. That's dope. Yeah, it came out last year, but I actually had her headline a certified vibe. That's why I'm like, dang. How. I didn't know this, but this was just a single. It wasn't on the project. I hate when I hear good records like that. And they not everywhere, man. Why isn't that everywhere? Yeah, it will be after today, so make sure you guys stream that. Next, I'm gonna get into Jid's new record. You know he's been promoing for his new album. Album. And this song is called Work. That's for the mature twerkers. I like that. Not the mature fans. Yeah, definitely. Nobody is on Dreamville. Really? Well, when Earth King came in here, they told y'all that they're both managed by Barry. Okay. Neither one of them are on Dreams, so Jid, Earth King. Damn. So there's no dream. There's no. It's just a dream. Now, I don't. I don't know the details, but I know for sure they are not on. Wow. Yes. It's dope, though. Yes. But okay, yeah, I'm excited for the album. Jit always delivers. And then. Okay, the last one is gonna be from Kai Cash. He's dropping his debut album. He just signed with Generation Now. And this project is produced by Don Cannon. So you already know it's gonna be phenomenal. But the record I'm gonna shout out is called Handsome, A Wrestler. Three for three for three. Kai Cash. I love the fact that they picked him up from.
