We will all remember where we were when the Milton Martinez "Demolicion!" part dropped. It lived up to the hype and pretty much solidified him winning SOTY this year. Game over. Done. I discuss his video, the rest of the Encore video, and also talk a little about skateboard raps inspired by a recent Jenkem article. If you are digging the show, please leave a positive review so more peeps can discover it. Appreciate the support.
