Welcome to Recap Kickback where we chop it up about black entertainment news and discuss all of our favorite movies and shows.

We discuss Drake's 3 new albums, react to the latest BET Award nominations, and talk about updates on Last Friday. We also discuss news surrounding the upcoming A Different World sequel and Issa Rae’s newest venture, an Insecure rewatch podcast that revisits one of television’s most beloved modern series.
