"I feel the pressure, under more scrutiny" So like everyone else we couldn't get through a day without people bringing up Kanye so we had to tackle this major topic. Hip hop and mental health, how artist use music as their vehicle to get through their issues. Plus how we as fans use music to push through our own dark times.

This week we explore the art of story telling through concept albums in the hip hop universe. Strong concepts can unify an album through themes and stories alike. But if your concept isn't strong, Queen Mydas will call you on your bullshit. We also explore which artists are the best at telling stories though lyrics and through musical production on standalone songs.

This week the Triplex tackles the difficult topic of problematic faves. Can you separate the art from the artist? Do you want to? Does liking R. Kelly's music make you a bad person? Then we discuss what the future of hip hop might look like. We give our predictions of trends, sounds and themes we expect to see from the hip hop of tomorrow. Let us know what you think! Can you listen to an artist with a questionable past? Do you have a vision of what the next trend in hip hop will be? Tell us below or find us on twitter at @FreshYongeP. Links: The R.

Back at it with another one! This time we focus on the ever important visuals: how can music videos and films enhance the artistry behind hip hop? Can a bad music video ruin your experience with a song? DO music videos matter? We discuss our favourite music videos and musical films and how they helped or hurt in our love of the song.

*'The Healing Component' came out in 2016 but was recorded in 2014. LMK was still hype from ISTOLETHESOUL FM so his theory is a little shakey since '2014 Forest Hills Drive' came out first (and went platinum with no features)* Dec 2014 Forest Hill Drive -> Mar 2015 TPAB -> Sept 2016 THC And we back and we back and we back, even better than we were the last time! (you get it? S1E1 was about Chicago and this is a Chance reference for S2E1) Fresh off the high that was "ISTOLETHESOUL FM 001" your friendly neighbourhood Triplex try to convey the magic that transpired within those 24hrs (long live the chatroom!) We dug into the current trend of self love within hiphop and artist using love as inspiration. - https://www.mixcloud.com/Istolethesoulfm/ - for all of the archives! - https://medium.com/@priscilla.azaglo/5-steps-to-your-healing-component-according-to-mick-jenkins-3ed612baae44 - a little breakdown of the album and what can be learned from it - Oshawa is further than Pickering - ht

Subtle flex but we think we know what makes a good show and we're going to tell you what has worked in past and what doesn't. In this episode (last one of season one!) We cover concert flow (don't make Blessthisbeast wait), home team support, solid DJ sets, solid openers, and making the most of the venue etc. We were at the screening for 6ix Rising and now that it's out everywhere we let y'all know our (FreshYonge)perspective about it.

"You don't wear an Adidas tracksuit to go run track" ah lie? We pulled this episode out of the special corner of the closet. This is for the ones that had to be extra fresh in school or in the mall. We cover the deep connection between hiphop and fashion. Then we reminisce over what brands we used to rock and our current fashion style (Thank you Winners). We also cover our style icons and who we would want to make a brand. At the end we have fun and try to describe each part of Tdots look.

*Airhorn, bomb explosions, lasers* NEW BLENDS FOR THAT AZZ from the Triplex. We touch another unique cornerstone in hiphop, the mixtape. We bring up memorable DJ cries, the progression of the mixtape. The shift from physical DJ set you can take with you(mixtape) to the digital playlist (ie. Spotify/Apple Music). Of course we tackle Chance The Rapper and where he stands as an "independent" artist http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7669073/history-dj-drama-mixtape-evolution DJ Drama article about the history of mixtapes https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9908-the-50-best-rap-mixtapes-of-the-millennium/ Scroll through for some memorable mixtapes https://soundcloud.com/saintlaurent420/the-weeknd-i-feel-it-coming-ft-daft-punk-80s-remix-by-saint-laurent ^ Speaking of blendz for the azz, BUMP THIS

We touch on the Ravyn Lenae x Smino x SZA concert at Rebel (peep our Instagram for videos), then we touch on the fire fall concert line up. It's time to get political: so we break down our thoughts on Charlottesville, VA and it's ripple effect on the rest of North America. Tackling the arguement of "stay in your lane", the criticism made against Black people using their platform. Then we highlight the structural racisim within the school system in the "most diverse city". - Shoutout to Jay (@JP_ofliveagl) one half of the @ExtraGravyShow crew - Shoutout to Livestock @livestockcanada - The day Beyonce turned Black SNL skit https://vimeo.com/155287084 - https://genius.com/J-cole-kenny-lofton-lyrics - http://schoolweb.tdsb.on.ca/africentricschool/ - http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/soul-city/

Indie Hip-hop artist Mark Brathwaite joins the Triplex to speak about his debut album 'Phoenix' (shoutout to @xitmuse one time) and opening for Machine Gun Kelly.

The squad soaked in the greatness that dropped June 30th 2017 and was wri- I mean vented over a microphone one night at 4:44am. We broke down our favourite tracks, videos, beats and reviews related Jigga's 13th album. We got into how we first heard of Hova and struggled to rank our top 5 Jay-Z albums. - Mark's album release party (COME THROUGH) http://www.blogto.com/events/mark-brathwaite-phoenix-album-release-gladstone-hotel-aug-4th-8-10pm/ - We have tickets for SZA's concert at the new venue (Rebel) which QUEEN_MYDAS called. - http://lifeandtimes.com/the-scoreboard how Sean Carter ranks his own albums. - http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/70132/man-murdered-outside-jay-z50-cent-show the day Lastm1nuteking became a man.

This episode is a love letter to one of the foundations of hip-hop: sampling. We touch on the good (doing a sample justice, mixing the the unexpected for novel effect), the bad (lazy samples, artist not getting their cut) and the ugly. Prepare to hear us dig deep through more layers than the samples used for 'Hoe Cakes'. HWK: Shoutout Whosampled.com!

This week the "Triplex"(don't go stealing that) breaks down one of the key aspects of the concert experience - merchandise. We go over some of our favourites as well as some we wished existed. We pick at freestyles vs writtens as well as the love of D.R.U.G.S. HWK: 1) Harass @QUEEN_MYDAS on twitter about that Isaiah Rashad poster 2)http://www.gunit-family.com/g-unit-radio-series go through the glory that was the G-Unit Radio mixtape series.

The squad goes over all of the feels related to Chicago's own Noname concert in Toronto. We try to figure out why everyone from the windy city has the juice and why even though our city is bubblin' it's still rough if your name isn't Aubrey. PS. D.R.A.M. is from VA not Chicago theremixproject.com is def worth lookin' into HWK: https://soundcloud.com/jazzcartier/sets/hotel-paranoia https://soundcloud.com/afrowasiu/toronto
