Weight Of The 8
By WoT8
South Carolina is a state filled with great talent, talent that is not always recognized and appreciated as much as it should be. The purpose of this platform is to highlight S.C. talent in all forms of creativity. The group of childhood friends (originally from Florence, SC) are the lifeblood of the venture. Tune into the conversation as the guys hit a variety of topics that range from black culture, current events, and much more. Also check out the platform’s sub series “Broken Records” where the guys give analytical breakdowns on current and past albums/projects.

Broken Records: Wasteland
From walking the streets of DC to topping the charts of the US R&B/Hip Hop Billboard, Brent Faiyaz has shown the world one of the most impressive progressions of an independent artist. In this second studio album, Wasteland, Brent welcomes us into his own dystopia. We see him embrace his lifestyle, come to cross roads, and speak with raw emotion that shines a lot more light into what we assume is a day in the life of the R&B rockstar. E calls it a masterpiece. It's hard to argue that with the accolades and global feedback its received. Join the Guys with special guest, Morgan, as we breakdown this work of art.

Broken Records: It's Only Me
Broken Records: "It's Only Me"
With the drop of a highly anticipated album, it only made sense to return with it. It’s been 2 years since Baby’s globally acclaimed album ‘My Turn’ released right before the pandemic. Since then, he has been touring the world, had a historic feature run, grew his own label ‘4PF’ and dropped a documentary while still maintaining his position as one of the hottest artist in the game. Not too bad for someone that started rapping in 2017 ✍🏾
Hope y’all welcome us back into your listening rotation as we welcome y’all back into a great community 🖤
