Discussing the minority who claimed his 'welcome home' ignores the problem of knife crime + Culture discussion: What is culture? Are Hip Hop and Grime cultures? + Is Skepta a fashion icon?

Rest in Power Nipsey Hussle A tough episode to find things worth talking about in light of Nipsey's murder a couple days before we recorded this episode. So have a listen as we just share our thoughts and put things in perspective in real time Tell your people you love them!

Warning, this one guarantees laughter, anger and... touchy subjects! On this episode, the guys discuss Brexit and if we even believe in democracy since the UK hasn't got their sh*t together. From the perspective of THREE grown men, we discuss the #SurvingCardiB conversation after a video of her surfaced where she opens up on drugging men and robbing them of their money. Already you can hear it... "What if it was the other way around, what if she was a man?" Oooh - outrageous. The guys also tackle the conversation about LGBTQ programs in school and parents protesting against them on the basis it infringes their rights to practice their faiths and religions. Leading on to discussing homeschooling, our experiences of school - good & bad. Also mentioned: Jussie Smollet's freedom, Jordan Peele not casting white men in his films, CBD and weed, plus much more.

White Must It Be The Winning Team? (#30) by Hosted by Eyec Jaé, TWLVE & Mo

*Please note: This episode was recorded on Wednesday 13th March 2019 before the terrorist attack in New Zealand* On this week's episode, we go straight in with some climate change education! Making mention of Roddy Rich making the block hot when his show got shut down after an unfortunate stabbing. We get in to our after-thoughts on the #LeavingNeverland documentary since Eyec and Twlve watched it whilst Mo refused to give it any shine. Did Wade and James' stories convince you? If so, what's up with scenes being cut out from the original version that premiered in America? We then get into a space where we talk about race and colourism. News broke about Will Smith being cast to play Serena and Venus William's father in a biopic about their dad, and there are complaints he is isn't dark enough. Mo and Eyec share how they feel about white people saying the 'N' word and the 'P' word. Tune in, lock in and share the convo. Find us on Twitter and Instagram: @NoMasalaPodcast

Do you believe in Aliens? Apparently somewhere out there is a hybrid not human-but-not animal being… Or so the conspiracy goes. This week we cover R Kelly’s meltdown interview with Gayle King following his arrest for ‘aggravated sexual abuse’ - Isn’t it all aggravated? The feds got him.. But for how long? Naturally this leads to conversation about #LeavingNeverland - a new doc. about Michael Jackson’s alleged abuse. Sticky one though – the two guys who tell their story are the same two who defended him against other alleged victims. Will you watch it? Later talks turn to Dave’s impactful and uplifting song ‘Black’ which received backlash from some white folks who were offended (lol)… And some brief album reviews including Big Bad by Giggs and ROGTL by 2 Chainz

News of Shamima Begum, ’the Jihadi ISIS bride’, has taken over the news and social media. Raised in Britain until she ran away at 15 – should she be allowed to return now she has had a change of heart? Is this just being tough of terrorist threats or is there something bigger at play with Brexit around the corner… Given what you know now, would you leave the EU? Also, we discuss the news that Jussie Smollett has officially been charged for reporting a false crime and much much more! Come and kick it.

First episode of 2019! Unfortunately, we start the show of paying respects and raising up the memory of the good brother Blaine Abdul Johnson AKA Cadet who left this earth early on the 9th of February in a tragic accident – Rest in Peace. The Grammys happened and the award for ‘Best RAP Album’ went to Cardi B. Is the award for the technical skill of rap or Is it more about who makes rap music pop off? Discussion between Mo and TWLVE also turns to whether artists caring about awards means they’re in it for the wrong reasons. American politics seems like a TV show. After the disturbing news that Empire actor Jussie Smollett was the victim of a racist and homphobic attack by Trump supporters. But in this day and age, should we expect footage? Police even want to see the Subway wrapper and Jussie’s text messages. Is there more to this or are we just victim shaming? Eyec’s been reading conspiracies. 21 Savage has been released on bond and Eyec went in to the rabbit hole of social media thumbing and feels like he has confirmation that 21 is actually from the UK and how he’s ended up in Atlanta. A HILARIOUS theory.

The year is up! Wishing you all the best for 2019. In this episode, we talk highs and lows of this past year, moments from the entertainment world that stuck out to us and so much more. + SONGS OF THE WEEK: EYEC's pick: OODLES 'O NOODLES by MEEK MILL MO's pick: MALCOLM XXX by KODAK BLACK TWLVE's pick: SAD by MIRAA MAY

Recently it was International Men’s Day so being that we are 3 men, we discuss: Do we even need it? We speak about issues relating to men and more specifically what makes us men insecure? Listen and let us know if it reminds you of yourself or anyone you might know. As always we touch on some music topics including the arrest of Tekashi 69 over the past weekend + SONGS OF THE WEEK EYEC’s pick: CHRISTOPHER NOLAN by YXNG BANE TWLVE’s pick: TRUST by BRENT FAIYAZ MO’s pick: SWEET CHICK by ANDERSON PAAK

This week we waste no time in getting to the shits. For our Jumpman episode we discuss: * Halloween costumes. Why do white people insist on dressing in blackface? Is it sheer ignorance more so than racism? Do you believe whiteface is a thing? * Recently a group of white people celebrated bonfire night by burning an effigy of the Grenfell Tower. People are calling for them to serve prison time. We disagree. Why? Listen. * Footballers who have refused to wear the Remembrance Day Poppy have been abused and criticised. Is it disrespectful to not wear it? * A white man who “looks” mixed race or black is claiming government grants to fund his acting career. He believes he’s lived the life of a minority in the UK. Is being Trans-Racial a valid thing? + SONGS OF THE WEEK: MO's pick: A DAY WITHOUT A MEXICAN by KAP G TWLVE's pick: BETTER by KHALID EYEC JAE's pick: GOING THROUGH SOME THANGS by MIH-TY Tickets to Mo's fight: https://www.thewhitecollarfightclub.co.uk/tickets

Never a dull moment! This week the boys get in to politics, music and even some mental health discussion. Recently Kanye West met up with Donald Trump which upset a lot of people. Is there anything to be upset about? Is discussion in the face of discourse important in meeting a resolution? We'll leave you to feed that back to us. It gets intense too when discussing mental health in relation to Kanye West's behaviour and his self-diagnosis: feeling the 'high's of bipolar without the lows. A phrase that Mo and Eyec go intensely debate over the context of. Its not all over for 'Ye because recently Drake appeared on Lebron James' show #TheShop talking candidly about his beef this summer with Pusha T. Do you believe Kanye used Drake and exposed his secrets? Is there even any rules in rap beef? + SONGS OF THE WEEK: TWLVE's pick: MIA by BADBUNNY ft. DRAKE MO's pick: SOLOW by HOOSH EYEC JAE's pick: GRINDIN' by WSTRN

Sorry for the wait! Back this week with a little something light to tide you over the weekend. If you didn't guess by the caption, we discuss the McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov UFC fight. As well as the post-fight brawl! A weird video went viral on Twitter of a gentleman by the name of Dawah Man who claims that smoking weed will make you gay? What do you think? + SONGS OF THE WEEK: EYEC's pick: HONESTY by PINK SWEAT$ MO's pick: IF IM LYING, I'M FLYING by KODAK BLACK TWLVE's pick: NO STYLIST by FRENCH MONTANA ft. DRAKE

Is it really a normal day on the internet without Kanye West saying or doing something? He recently tweeted about The Throne having a sequel. But has anyone informed Jay Z or at least notified him that he might be getting replaced by someone else? If anyone still cares about the Eminem v MGK saga, theres something for you as well. But the bulk of this episode looks at the INTERNET THUGGERY epidemic! Russ recently had his squad beat up rapper Smokepurpp and YouTuber Adam22 for running their mouths online and trolling him with #FuckRuss. That is to be expected, right? Or nah?

Mo’s out of the studio this week but that doesn’t mean nada! Shout out to Steve Jobs and that FaceTime. Unfortunately, we start the podcast mourning the death of the incredibly talented and special, Mac Miller. It leads us to discuss the bigger issues that surround his passing away; are we missing the signs or cries for help? Is the culture of music and having a ‘lit’ time at fault? And importantly addiction, with the crew opening up in identifying and share their own personal stories about addiction. Our discussion develops in to good ol’ white-on-white rap beef. Taking a look at Eminem’s latest offering “Kamikaze” where he fires shots at Machine Gun Kelly as well as other rappers. “Is This Your King?” *Killmonger voice* — Do GOATs really need to keep trying to prove they are GOATs? We round up with touching on the new Nike ad and thus Serena William’s dispute with the umpire at the US Open, versus Naomi Osaka. ++ SONGS OF THE WEEK EYEC's pick: COME BACK TO EARTH by MAC MILLER TWLVE'S pick: SUGARDADDY by TAY IWAR MO's pick: FINESSE (COVER) by BRYSON TILLER

This episode guest stars Sneeks who stopped by to discuss Notting Hill Carnival in more depth than just the good time party that it is. Do people even know what it represents? Sneeks opens up to discuss with us more about the changes he's made to his lifestyle from crime to becoming an entrepreneur and how he was able to manifest more positive outcomes through his energy, with advice and experience for the youth. We also cover Idris Elba as a Black James Bond and how its become an issue at the centre of representation. Do you see it happening? Is it about race? As well as Jamie flipping Oliver and this Jerk Rice nonsense. ++ SONGS OF THE WEEK MO’s pick: SMILE by HOOSH TWLVE’s pick: SELF CARE by MAC MILLER SNEEKS’s pick: I'M ON (FREESTYLE) by YOUNG CHRIS ft. PEEDI CRACK

NOTE FROM EYEC: After appearing on the BBC Asian Network's live debate and discussion panel "Being British Asian: Who Do We Think We Are?" and after recording Episode 17 of our podcast before it released, I was again contacted by the producers of that same show. They wanted me to follow up on the points I made about "optimism" being a slightly farfetched emotion to feel as a brown Muslim man in Britain(you can listen to the last episode for more on that here: https://soundcloud.com/nomasalapodcast/britishasiandebate) Anyway, I accepted the BBC’s invitation and you can actually listen to why I felt it was more than necessary to speak up about how I felt.

This weeks episode comes off the back of a series of programmes that the BBC is producing entitled 'The Big British Asian Summer'. Within this series there have been a number of documentaries and also debates - one of which was Mobeen Azhar and Nomia Iqbal's "Being British Asian: Who Do We Think We Are?", where our own Eyec Jae, was invited to join the panel. Watch here: https://youtu.be/55wEIxNLVwg A contentious moment in the debate developed around the question of 'should British Asians be optimistic?' (1hr 18mins into the debate show) and shortly after the show, Eyec expressed his disappointment... Which luckily for you guys, you get a full uncut explanation of his thoughts around the conversation, an observation of the participants and more. Mo and TWLVE mentioned off the podcast that something in the media made them "feel sorry" for Tommy Robinson since he was jailed for contempt of court. They give an insight into what they really meant by that. We also get in to whether Google and all of this technology is recording our conversations, the benefits of CBD oil and some plans for No Masala. ++ SONGS OF THE WEEK MO’s pick: DIE YOUNG by RODDY RICCH EYEC’s pick: WHIPPED CREAM by ARI LENNOX TWLVE’s pick: MY LIFE by ERYKAH BADU

After a hiatus, NO MASALA is back for Season 2. Have you missed us? Don’t worry, we explain why we went ghost on you... but we were working behind the scenes! In this episode we discuss the topic of whether there is anti-blackness amongst Asian and Arabs Muslims towards Black Muslims and break down the issues around it. It follows on a discussion in to identity and the troubles we face in a society having to balance multiple identities; ethnicity, nationality, religion etc. It wouldn’t be NO MASALA without getting in to some music back and forth. 8 months in to the year, we try and get an idea of the best hip-hop and R&B albums of the year. ++ SONGS OF THE WEEK TWLVE’s pick: SICKO MODE by TRAVIS SCOTT MO’s pick: HOW I KNOW by LIL DURK ft LIL BABY EYEC’s pick: TRIED UP by AMA LOU

Yo! First of all a big fat EID MUBARAK to our listeners! Welcome to Episode 15 which is brought to you by: We, that’s Twlve and Mo AKA Nikonpurp AKA The Walking Paradox, No He's Not. On this episode we briefly get through some thoughts on music before we get on to Ramadan and how it’s been now we're at an end. Also... We talk sports! A little football, a little basketball. Tune it and join us!

Hot off of the heels of some exciting rap beef between Pusha T and Drake, Mo checks the crew for counting out King Push. But the guys also query if Pusha T actually capitalised off of this feud with Drizzy as much or as well as we would have expected him to? We also discuss, of course, Kanye West’s new project, the Ramadan experience so far, and Big Narstie’s backlash over protecting his personal space but being labelled a homophobe for it.

[Podcast was recorded literally 4 hours before Pusha T released his response to Drake's diss record] The crew links up on this episode to talk about some fucking hip-hop shit so it was due to be lit. Kicking off talking about the media's bias and targeting of Manchester City and England FC Footballer Raheem Sterling. And then, of course you guessed it: Drake V Pusha T! Things get heated in this discussion, switching from whether this is going to be a Meek Mill moment all over again or not? And if Drake has had his defining moment, similar to Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse? ++ SONGS OF THE WEEK ++ TWLVE: ASAP ROCKY ft.

Ramadan Brain has well and truly hit us over here bruh. This was a fun little conversation, checking in on how Ramadan is going and discussing how annoying it is to hear "NoT eVeN wAteR?!" from people. We arrive a little late to the party, we know but discuss Childish Gambino's "This is America" music video. What did you interpret it as? Why did someone ask Karrueche Tran what she thinks of the video too? Eyec has been reading a book called "Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race?" so you know we had to talk about some sensitive political sh*t. ++ SONGS OF THE WEEK ++ TWLVE: SHAKKA ft.

Guess who’s back? Back again! Returning from a two week hiatus to a helluva lot of fuckery... Yup. You guessed it by the title: Kanye West. The crew discuss his antics online, whether he’s wrong for “loving” Donald Trump and what did he mean by “Slavery sounds like a choice” - Do you want to hear this Dragon Energy Kanye’s new album? We also discuss J Cole’s new album “KOD” and more about the Dreamvillian himself. And much, much, more.

Episode 10 baby! Before Mo heads to Coachella in L.A, Eyec goes to New York and TWLVE keeps London sweet. If you've got social media, you would've seen a lot of talk regarding an article citing Radar Radio and numerous disappointing and foul complaints around the station's treatment and its approach in dealing with a culture of exploitation, harassment and abuse of minority groups, such as women of colour. As well as the controversial background of the station's founder; Ollie Ashley, the son of Sports Direct founder, Billionaire Mike Ashley. Are people stepping away from Radar because of the abuse allegations or because they have an issue with the ownership? * The gang talks about what to expect from the new J. Cole project "K.O.D" and if this is make or break for him in cementing his legacy. *What is Hip Hop or even Grime? * What is the big deal about marrying outside your race?... Or being married to more than one person at one time (lol) SONGS OF THE WEEK: EYEC JAE: OCTAVIAN - HANDS | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uIc1GQL2XE MO: XXXTENTACION - SAD | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgN-vvVVxMA TWLVE: HARDY CAPRIO - RAPPER | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM446WOn7z8

LATE BUT ON TIME! The crew conduct a post-fight interview with Mo about his boxing fight last weekend, whilst we are joined by his younger brother Huss, who has a small-small convo with us about politics and the importance of voting or not voting. But the beef here is.... Musicians who can get away with saying some racist shit or do some dumb-ass stuff and get away with it. Can Sabrina Claudio grow from her ignorance without being 'cancelled?', Is the white fans of music wrong for rapping along when they hear the N word? Does it burn less when someone like Nav from the Weeknd's XO crew says it because he's a person of colour? ...Damn. So many questions!

It's been a really topical week and a lot has been going on. This podcast was recorded on April 3rd which has been coined across social media as #PunishAMuslimDay so we send a message of love, unity and wellness to our listeners. Unfortunately, news broke that London has surpassed New York's murder rate, with a lot of incidents happening in our communities. We deliberated on what is causing these atrocities and how can they be helped? Additionally, the crew recaps: The Anthony Joshua vs Joseph Parker fight. Is Anthony Joshua really a nice guy or is that just what we're being sold? And R Kelly's creepy antics - Can you separate the art from the artist?

Doing James Bond numbers! On episode 007 the guys bring on a friend of the show: Hana. She’s been reading a book entitled #TrippingWithAllah which prompted us to discuss it and a little on the relationship between drug-taking and ones religious faith. The discussion also spurred on perspectives of culture that are disguised as being rules of a faith based system which tend to work in the favour of men as opposed to women either them. Plus lots more.

It’s all fun and games until it’s no longer fun and games. Katy Perry, some would say “quietly”, got called out for kissing a man who explicitly did not want to be kissed. So, we discussed the double standard that exists around consent. Also touch on Snapchat taking another L after making a mockery of Rihanna and Domestic Violence. "Punish A Muslim Day" letters being delivered through homes in the UK and whether its "trolling" or "clever" propaganda. As well as ranking our favourite Kanye West songs after a fan-made Madness Bracket went viral online for a little fun.

WHEN WILL THE MADNESS STOP? The nicest guy in showbiz, Bruno Mars is being accused of cultural appropriation. The guys chop it up real quick and try to make sense of these claims, with this week's guest Josh Samuelz AKA J Samuelz of STOA. SONGS OF THE WEEK: TWLVE: Anderson.

Back this week with a lot to talk about, joined by Pasha T. By now everyone should have seen Stormzy’s performance at the BRIT Awards. It caused the British Prime Minister to respond. We also discuss Kim Kardashian’s Vogue India shoot and if she was appropriating culture in the same way Gucci recently did with the Turban. As well as Black Panther and more.

3 is the magic number! This week we're joined by Hamda Issa-Salwe who is apart of Universal Music's Bravado merchandise company. She tells us a little bit about her journey in to the industry as a young, black, muslim woman. We discuss some drama around the Nike #NothingBeatsALondoner ad which fuelled debates on social media regarding the involvement of Asian people. Was it an oversight? Was it unfair? Are Asians even popping? The crew also chops it up about Quincy Jones and a wiiiiiiild interview he did with Vulture where he's talking up the tings!
