This week, the guys break down the Cowboys trading up one spot to draft Caleb Downs at No. 11, then coming back later in Round 1 for edge rusher Malachi Lawrence at No. 23. They also get into Brandon Aubrey becoming the highest-paid kicker in NFL history and George Pickens playing the season on the franchise tag, while Dallas waits until next offseason to revisit an extension. Around the league, they talk Dexter Lawrence landing in Cincinnati after a blockbuster deal with the Giants.

In hoops, the guys discuss Victor Wembanyama becoming the youngest Defensive Player of the Year and the first unanimous winner in the award’s history, Billy Donovan leaving Chicago, Steve Kerr’s uncertain future, and Milwaukee lining up Taylor Jenkins as its next head coach. In music and culture, they get into the charges against D4vd, Drake’s ice-block rollout for Iceman, and Ice Spice getting slapped during a McDonald’s altercation.

Amaelyah returns to Target Talk with a sharp perspective on what Ethos stands on now. She gets into being selective with her time, protecting the vision, and learning to separate what looks good from what actually helps an artist grow. She also breaks down why attention by itself does not mean much to her, why everything needs a real strategy behind it, and how that mindset has shaped the way Ethos moves.

She also speaks on building as a Black woman in a space that can be dismissive, why she had to create her own lane, and how that shows up in the way Ethos works with artists. From Billy White’s rollout to 100 Deep to opening up consulting for creatives who need real direction, she makes it clear that Ethos is not interested in following the usual path just because it is familiar.

Ambriidawg joins Target Talk to talk about the creative path that led her to launch Dawgii and what it has taken to bring the brand to life. She reflects on when clothing first started standing out to her, where her creativity lived before fashion, and how the idea for Dawgii slowly turned into something real. The conversation gets into the early challenges, the learning curve of building a brand from scratch, and the parts of the process people usually do not see.

We also talk about the latest Dawgii drop, what mattered most while putting it together, and which pieces mean the most to her now that they are out in the world. More than anything, this episode is about trusting your instincts, staying patient through the slow parts, and building something that actually reflects you.

This week, the guys discuss Kirk Cousins landing in Las Vegas, Angel Reese being traded to Atlanta, and the Bulls firing their president and GM with just a week left in the season. They also get into Cooper Flagg becoming the youngest player to score 50 after dropping 51 on Orlando, plus the Lakers dealing with injuries to Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves right before the playoffs.

In music and culture, the conversation turns to Post Malone teasing a massive double album, The Eternal Buzz, and Isaiah Rashad announcing It’s Been Awful for May 1. The guys also discuss Wireless being canceled after Kanye West was blocked from entering the U.K., Offset being shot in Florida and remaining in stable condition, and the much more serious fallout involving Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane, with Shiesty being held on kidnapping charges tied to an alleged armed contract dispute involving Gucci Mane’s label.

bdifferent joins Target Talk for a conversation about what happens when music stops being just something you do and starts becoming something you need. He talks about growing up in Atlanta, being shaped by family, loss, and competition, and how everything changed after losing his mom and grandmother. What comes through in this episode is not just the pain, but the way that pain gave his music weight, direction, and purpose.

We also get into Come On!! as a project that reflects where he is now, more confident, more versatile, and more locked in on what he wants to say. He speaks on music as therapy, the discipline behind getting better every day, and the kind of belief that comes from seeing what is possible up close, including through his brother Anthony Edwards’ rise. More than anything, this one is about turning grief into fuel and building something that feels honest.

We sat down with Spaceboifresh, 97.9 The Beat personality, artist, DJ, engineer, videographer, and self-described entertainer, for a conversation that really shows how much ground he’s covered. He talks about growing up in Oak Cliff, being raised by his grandparents, discovering music through the CDs and tapes his dad left behind, and how all of that shaped the way he creates now.

From there, the episode opens up into everything that came with building a career across so many lanes. He gets into moving to Los Angeles, learning patience the hard way, doing live streaming and filmed content before it became the norm, and how all that work eventually led to opportunities with 97.9 and beyond. It ends up feeling less like a résumé and more like hearing somebody explain how all the pieces actually connected.

This week, the guys discuss Jaden Ivey being out in Chicago and why the Bulls may have felt justified in making that move after a situation that went beyond basketball.

They also talk Steph Curry nearing a return for Golden State’s play-in push, J. Cole chasing hoop dreams with the Nanjing Monkey Kings while also speaking honestly about not really feeling like the best rapper alive, Kanye’s Bully officially dropping, and prayers up for Megan Thee Stallion after a scary health situation during her Broadway run.
