Episode 312: “Looking Up At the Rafters!”

After a three-month hiatus, the iLLogical gang is back with renewed energy and plenty of West Coast bias for in-depth analysis of Kendrick Lamar's highly anticipated album, 'GNX' (5:36). This episode is packed with insights, from comparisons to 2Pac’s aka Makaveli's 'Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory' (20:56) to the album's quintessential West Coast sound (28:35).

The crew also unpacks J. Cole’s re-release strategy (1:11:20), Drake’s latest string of questionable moves (1:17:48), including filing petitions against UMG (1:28:14), and where Kendrick might take his artistry next (2:01:27).

West. West. Y'all.
