This week, we're discussing the 30th anniversary of Dr. Dre's groundbreaking solo debut album, The Chronic. This classic album, which was released on December 15, 1992, features a number of notable, but then unknown artists, including Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, and Warren G. In this episode, we will explore the making of The Chronic and its lasting impact on the world of hip-hop. We will also discuss how Dre's work with The World Class Wreckin' Cru and N.W.A. laid the foundation for the sound and style that he would perfect on The Chronic, and the role that the album played in the rise of West Coast hip-hop and the emergence of G-Funk.

New R&B For Old Heads
This week, we're discussing a topic that gets brought up on social media whenever a publication or random celebrity is looking for clicks (we see you, Diddy.) Is R&B dead? We don't think so, and we're here to talk to you about a few artists that we enjoy. Also, we take a crack at deciphering SZA lyrics and Miguel explains how any issues with current day R&B can be traced back to Gen-X.

B-Side: SZA
When we recorded our "New R&B For Old Heads" episode, SZA's SOS album release date hadn't been announced yet. Ironically, it came out on the same day that we released the episode. So, we had to go back in and record this B-Side the next day with some new information that had been presented to us via the album. Christina gives us what might be a controversial take by comparing SZA to an R&B legend, and we get into the musical parallels of the two artists.
