About this episode
AJ and Antonio discuss Teddy Riley's impact on music, review Omah Lay's new album, and analyze the Spotify docuseries.
This week AJ and Antonio go deep on Teddy Riley, the man behind New Jack Swing, Don't Be Cruel, Remember the Time, and No Diggity — and why he still doesn't get the credit he deserves. They review Omah Lay's long-awaited sophomore album Clarity of Mind, break down the Unknown T and AJ Tracey collab, react to Leon Thomas performing on a Delta flight, and share their takeaways from the Spotify docuseries including the moment music became a digital jukebox and what that cost artists forever.
