Mario was supposed to join us on this podcast, but he couldn’t make it so we brought in our boy DJ Urban Philosopher to give us some insight on the success of “Boo’d Up” by Ella Mai. We also talk about new music from Mario, Ciara, Lloyd and Mary J. Blige. This episode also falls on Keith Sweat’s birthday so you already know we had to show him some love. We also discuss the lineup change in Dru Hill currently and speculate whether there’s internal issues going on with the group. We have confirmation that 112 is no longer a four man group, so we discuss what may have went wrong.
