This week has been super busy, and the gang has been outside! We quickly run through their week’s activities (sort of) and then get into Casey Anthony and her attempted OJ-esque rebrand (19:00) . Rappers are turning into actors at an alarming rate, so of course we have to give our top 5 of the greatest to touch both a pen and the big screen (29:10). Speaking of the greats, Jermaine Dupri set the internet on fire after posing a question about the purpose of being an indie artist over being signed to a major (38:48). We discuss why going indie was best for Rory personally - and later get a call from JD while giving him a chance to explain himself (1:15:50). This leads us into a conversation about just how much control record labels have in creating a superstar ; how Tyla might be the next one and if Playboi Carti is already one (47:35). Last but not least, of course we had to let you guys know about new music coming today, make sure you check it out and let us know what’s hit or miss. #volume
