“ Smino is an artist that can't be put into a specific box because of the way that he uses flows, the way that he uses melodies and the way that he constructs songs and the way that he uses features as well.”
In this episode, we discuss ”Black Swan,” a culmination of Neo-Soul, R&B and Hip-Hop all blended into one to create a sonically pleasing masterpiece.
Today we have “Black Swan”. Today we have Smino. Today we have “theDISCourse”.

“ Music is a multitude of things. It is more than a sound, a ringtone background noise or an art form. Music is a gateway to anger, bliss, exhilaration, solidarity, and so much more. “
In this episode, we focus on Compton based rapper, poet, and cultural icon, Kendrick Lamar, and his third major studio album, “DAMN.”, released in 2017. We delve into his upbringing, various worldly topics that influenced his life at the time, and examine how these compositions impact and integrate into the lives of everyday people through his 14-track body of work.
This is “DAMN.” This is Kenrick Lamar. This is “theDISCourse”.

“With infinite replay value and thought-provoking song themes and attention-grabbing production, it is easy to see why this album is critically acclaimed still to this day and loved by the masses.”
From being in one of the most polarizing rap beefs of all time, to getting announced to play the halftime show for the Super Bowl, this year has been a very eventful one for Kendrick Lamar. With all of the momentum around him, I found myself going back down the rabbit hole of his timeless discography, re-listen to an album that since its release has been considered one of the greatest albums to ever grace a speaker or pair of headphones. In this episode, we discuss an album that inspired a generation and would catapult Kendrick Lamar to a household name that would stand the test of time.
This is “Good Kid, Mad City”. This is Kendrick Lamar. This is “theDISCourse”.

“The Divine Feminine is essentially Mac Miller's world crafted by the women in his life. It showcases the intimacy of two people while under the umbrella of the idea of women being godly and the universe existing through her.”
In this episode, we explore “The Divine Feminine”—a soulful journey through love, intimacy, and vulnerability. Mac Miller emerged from Pittsburgh at just 18, growing up under the spotlight of hip-hop critics. But he shattered expectations, evolving into a powerful songwriter with a voice all his own.
This is “The Divine Feminine”. This is Mac Miller. This is “theDISCourse”.
