2025 wasn’t just another year — it was a reckoning.

In this season-closing episode, Cvrter Young and H take a hard look at a year that felt heavy across music, media, and Black culture. From the scrutiny facing hip-hop artists to the way controversy often overshadows craft, this conversation breaks down what 2025 revealed about the culture — and ourselves.

We unpack the public controversies surrounding Nicki Minaj, the constant pitting of female rappers against one another, and why legacy artists are reclaiming space in a genre they helped build. The conversation also touches on shifting fashion trends, the growing normalization of mental-health discussions in hip-hop, and how media distractions often pull attention away from deeper social issues.

We also address the impact of the Diddy documentary, sparking necessary conversations around accountability, power, and silence — while acknowledging that racism remains a persistent reality shaping culture and opportunity.

This isn’t a recap for clicks.
It’s a culture check.

As we close the chapter on 2025, this episode calls for more honesty, more responsibility, and a more authentic representation of artists and lived experiences as we look ahead to 2026.
