Bitz & Bopz

Music EN ↓ 7 episodes

We aim to bridge the generational gap. The dominance of those in the industry holding onto the great artists of the past hinders the progression of the new wave of hip-hop talent. We all know Jay-Z is the GOAT and that Kendrick Lamar represents the culture like no other, but what’s next? Why is Playboi Carti so captivating and attracts a cult-like fanbase? Why does Ice Spice have limited lyrical ability, but tops the charts with every release? Bitz & Bopz will facilitate discussions that embrace the diverse sounds and perspectives of today's music and look towards the future of hip-hop.
