Description

On behalf of the entire Need to Know family, we'd like to take a moment to honor the lives of James Earl Jones, Rich Homie Quan, Fatman Scoop, BeatKing, and all those we've lost in recent weeks. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their family, friends, and all those who love them. May they rest in peace.

This week, SaVon, Alex, and Regi are joined by music industry icon and podcaster Lowkey and begin with a quick aside on the New York sports scene (1:29 ) before Low details the origins of his name and shares some never-before-heard stories about working at Bad Boy Entertainment and BET in the mid-2000s (10:33 ). Later, they discusses A$AP Rocky and J. Cole’s “Ruby Rosary” and what the track says about the state of Drake and Cole’s relationship (39:21 ). For the main event, the gang breaks down the announcement that Kendrick Lamar is set to headline the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, including speculation that either Taylor Swift or Lil Wayne would get the nod, the role Jay-Z and Roc Nation played in the selection process, the outcry from artists such as Nicki Minaj, Birdman, Master P, Cam’ron, and Mase, and Drake fans bashing the decision (55:49 ). To close, Lowkey shares a story about the making of Jay-Z and Pharrell’s “Give It To Me” and shows love to legendary photographers Lenny S., Johnny Nuñez, and Jonathan Mannion (2:07:03 ).
