**Editor's Note: There are audio issues within the last 10 minutes of the podcast. Tried clean it up as much as possible. We apologize. We've reached the final frontier of 2BELTZ.

This year was a lot. A lot of content. A lot of music. A lot of things to talk about. RCA Records A&R Derrick Aroh (@DoubleDuzIt)joins us once again for our year-end episode to discuss all the happenings in 2018. Derrick recounts his 2018 which included the signing of BROCKHAMPTON — which subsequently led to a #1 album, and the signing of Donald Glover — which subsequently led to a #1 single with "This Is America". We also talk the albums released this year from both veterans and newcomers, the state of hip hop and R&B at the moment and who will be the new guard, and so much more. This is a must-listen episode of 2BELTZ if there ever was one.

The music has officially stopped for 2018, but that doesn't mean the conversation has. Episode 164 is the first episode this season without Meelz & Carlos reviewing new music, but the industry has provided enough moments for discussions to be had. The two discuss the debate of who is the true king of R&B, Janet Jackson being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Cardi B & Offset breaking up, The GRAMMY nominations are out, who's right & wrong in this Kodak Black/Ebro In The Morning discussion, and of course the next chapter of the long battle between Kanye West & Drake.
