Black Brits Shining Overseas, DJ Khaled Falling Off & The London Mayoral Election

In Episode 71, Ray & Toren sit down and begin the conversation by discussing Giggs, Damson Idris and other fellow Black Brits currently out in the US living their best lives, with this being the first time that Giggs has been allowed into the states, its good to see him connect with everyone and being shown overdue and genuine love. This week Daniel Kaluuya who is also currently out in the US won an Oscar for best supporting actor in the film Judas and The Black Messiah. Should more Black British entertainers and creatives follow suit and start moving over to the US to fulfil their potential? The pair then move on to discussing new music that has been released over the past month including the release of DJ Khaled's latest album 'Khaled Khaled' which Toren deemed lacklustre, questioning whether it was a project that Khaled may have had to drop as opposed to wanting to drop it, as a lot of the songs felt like throwaways. Should Khaled perhaps steer away from the albums and enter the music management and entertainment bag? Finally, the London Mayoral election is in a few days, 23 candidates are running the race. If you are eligible to vote make sure you head down to your polling station on the 6th of May and vote! Toren & Ray go over a few of the candidates, and focus on the building of new youth centres, which a lot of candidates seemed to include in their manifestos, however, is there an actual need for them and do they work?
