UNCUT: Key Glock - Glockaveli

Just wrapped our full reaction to Glockaveli: The Don — no skips. This is the most contemporary Memphis rapper we’ve done so far, and it was cool comparing that to the Three 6 and Tommy Wright stuff we’ve heard before. My dad was especially into Glock’s calm presence — not a lot of rappers keep it that cool while still sounding serious and hungry. The production slapped too. Full uncut reaction without ads here on Patreon.

People's Choice #64: Prince

This Week's Theme: Prince

Next Week's Theme: Open (no theme)

Huge shoutout to our Patrons for curating this one! We admit that we were maybe a little hesitant. Prince has always been this larger-than-life figure, and we’d heard about his influence, but we’d never really sat with the music ourselves. Maybe even carried a bit of quiet bias, just not knowing what to expect. But these six t...

Patreon Exclusive: Dad Reacts to JID - WRK

In this reaction, we check out JID’s “WRK”. As always, JID penmanship is sharp, focused, and lyrically relentless. He uses some of his signature flows and the beat hits hard. I like how he turned this sound that is typically about getting lit into a track that demands you get to the grind. There’s a lot going on beneath the surface.

Thoughts on this track?

Dad Reacts to Lana Del Rey - Henry, come on, Bluebird

In this reaction, we dive into Lana Del Rey’s “Henry, Come On” and “Bluebird.”

These tracks show her leaning into a more folk and country-inspired sound, with stripped-back production and raw, emotional storytelling.

A quiet kind of intensity runs through both songs—simple on the surface, but with a lot to unpack.

Hope you enjoy this one!

P.S. People's Choice #62 up later today

(Reaction Exclusive to Patreon)
Amazing single from Travis, his first of 2025 that came out a month or so ago. The blaring horns/synths, the flows, the cadence, all come together so well. Excited to hear if he keeps going with this momentum for his other work this year!
