Tiana and I started this podcast back in 2018, but our initial attempt was short lived. This is the first conversation that we ever recorded, but it seems to always come back to Nas vs. Jay (LOL). This was the beginning of this "New" Kanye (that we've been experiencing for close to three years now) and we're both trying to make sense of it. We talked about the mental health community having social media as an outlet to share.
