Siblings Denzel and Lexus discuss various topics that affect the UK culture, in both music and trends, and topics that affect the culture of family. With weekly episodes (we hope), sit back and join the family of the TwinPodcast.
As our recap continues, we touch on the nuance of morality vs family and address the structure of the royal family, and how this cozzy livs is pure pandemonium! Some political figures have damned their souls, and Denzel may have damned his social media feed with his Beyoncé take.Denz's TopPicks:Little Simz - AngelMabs - ThankfulJim Legacy - candy reign (!)Lex's TopPicks:SZA - Kill BillKing Promise - Bad n Rude ft WSTRNFredo - I'm BackDon't forget we have our top picks playlists on Apple Music & Spotify linked here Twitter: @_twinpodcast @lexuscrystal_ @quoteKwame Instagram: @twinpodcast @lexuscrystal @supermalt_papi
WE'RE BACK! We've been gone for a year and some change, but we're back. Where have we been? Well this episode is like a run through of what we we're doing in our time apart.

We wanted to make sure we capitalise on having another guest on the podcast, so before he left, we asked Andu for his perspective on therapy, and who would he go to it with. This led to a really good and open discussion about the reasons as to why we would or wouldn't give therapy a try, and the pros and cons of it in relationships.Denz's TopPicks: J.

On this week's episode, we're joined again by Andu who walks us through how the recent bank holiday made him come to an epiphany about the landscape, and age range difference in the black London scene. Did you break the bank once outside was open? And do you still go to full-on house motives in ends?
On this episode we discuss the online attitude towards people's body image, and why we feel a level on entitlement to comment on it, especially when it comes to fat women and short men. Where did we learn these ideals, and why are we so content on being ignorant to the issues people go through? We also debate if this will ever change, and how it can change.Denz's Top Pics: Young Stoner Life (Young Thug x Gunna) - Ski, Kendrick Lamar - These Walls ft Bilal, Anna Wise, coah - Transition.Lex's Top Picks: Kwesi Arthur - Live from the 233, Shay bo - Broke Boys ft DreamDoll, Russ Millions x Tion Wayne - Body.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
In this weeks episode we discuss where we first heard of black magic/juju and the representation and reputation, it has across western civilisations. We also discuss how much the things we like/care about are outraged about are actual just because other people are.Denzel's Top Picks: Shay Lia - Irrational (Remix) ft Adekunle GoldJoey B - AKOBAM ft Kofi Mole, MedikalBellah - Evil Eye - A COLORS SHOWLexus's Top Picks:Tems - Ice TMyke Towers - BURBERRY ft Ñengo FlowSL - Versus ft M1llionzTwitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
On Track 37 we talk discuss the things that are attached to languages. Whether it be culture, ignorance, or opportunities: your language says a lot about you. We explore all the consequences of that, and ask ourselves how much we REALLY care about any of them.Denz’s Top Picks: Brent Faiyaz - Show U Off, Frosty - 100 G-Packs, Baby Keem - No Sense.Lex’s Top Picks: Shelley FKA DRAM - Wifi ft Erykah Badu, Skiifall - Ting Tun Up Part 2 ft Knucks, Justin Bieber - Loved By You ft Burna Boy.Instagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papiTwitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwame
On today’s episode we speak about the inequalities between men and women in the perception of relationships and in the rap game. Why are women the ones that are made to feel embarrassed when their partners cheat on them, and why are female rappers viewed as female rappers, and not just rappers??Denzel’s Top Picks: Kelis - Sugar Honey Iced Tea, BINA. - Dark Cloud, KAYTRANADA - 10% ft Kali Uchis.Lexus’s Top Picks: Silk Sonic - Leave The Door Open, Missy Elliott - She’s a Bitch, Giveon - When It’s All Said And Done.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
On today's episode we have a special guest, and friend to the show, Tyra. Best way to describe her? In the words of Lex, a 'media boss.' She guides us through her journey of discovery from interning at radio stations to having a bi-weekly show on No Signal radio, through to videography and her YouTube channel. And as the 10 year anniversary of Frank Ocean's Nostalgia Ultra recently past, it only made sense to reflect on what music and black creativity looked like 10 years ago, in contrast with the landscape now.Denz's TopPicks: Drake - What’s Next, Destin Conrad - Fraud, Ghetts - Good Hearts.Lex's TopPicks: VanJess - Slow Down, Abra Cabadabra - U Know ft Kush, Blxst - Chosen ft Ty Dolla $ignTyra's TopPicks: Digga D - Window, Shae Universe - Royalty ft Kojey Radical, Wesley Joseph - Thrilla.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwame @JUSTARCHIVEDInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi @just.archived
On today's episode we talk about how big TikTok has become in our lives and how much it affects culture. We dig deep into the consequences of going through life milestones, such as university, without actually having to interact with people and if this will become the norm as the end of this pandenemic, at least within the UK, is not clear.Also a big thank you to everybody who entered our giveaway.

In this episode we discuss how we feel about public holidays and what they stand for. Since it’s fast approaching, we talk about the “day of love” and pose the all important questions: why is Valentine’s Day even important and do we celebrate it for the sake of fomo?Denz's Top Picks: Chip - Grown Flex ft Bugzy Malone, Victoria Monét - F.U.C.K, Fredo - Biggest Mistake.Lex's Top Picks: Amaarae - Sinking Ship ft Kojey Radical & Cruel Santino, Lucky Daye - On Read ft Tiana Major9, M1llionz - Badnis.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
To our TwinPodcast family, we just wanna say we've missed you guys soo much, and we hope you've enjoyed your Christmases and New Years! To kick off our return from our break, we thought it was only right to talk about an app that kept us entertained during it, and that was none other than Clubhouse. However, as entertaining as the app is, it can also be seen as problematic when certain narratives/agendas are pushed on it. Especially those about black women. We address a couple of questions, including: If she was 'acceptable' enough for you to sleep with her, why isn't she 'acceptable' enough for you to make sure she got home safe? Do mandem only protect girls when there's an agenda behind it? Why do mandem take offence to being corrected on their behaviour, rather than addressing why the behaviour needs to be corrected in the first place? Join Denz, Lex and our special guest Andu, from The PG Podcast (ThePostGradPodcast), as we debate about what protecting black women really means, and to what extent do mandem actually do this.Denzel's Top Picks: SZA - Good Days, Ari Pensmith & Jonah Christian - City Girl, Durand Bernarr.Lexus's Top Picks: Jazmine Sullivan - On It ft Ari Lennox, Tems - Damages, Stonbwoy - Activate ft Davido.Andu's Top Picks: Curtis J - Check Your Balance ft Tomie Boy, Young T & Bugsey - New Shape, Midas the Jagaban - Cloud 9.Andu's Info: Twitter: @NovembasVeriOwnInstagram: @_p.andu @thepgpodcast_ @aplens__Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
This episode we reflect on and shout-out a couple businesses that started or really started to pop during lockdown. And was a lot of it down to struggle breeding creativity? And if so, does that explain why the black community is especially so creative and innovative? Another big method for these businesses, have been giveaways, similar to PLT's that dominated twitter recently. Has any other giveaway been as impactful?Denzel's Top Picks: Bellah - Supernova, Amaarae - Fantasy ft Maesu & CKay, Scribz Riley - On My Sleeve ft Kaash Paige.Lexus' Top Picks: Chloe x Halle - Ungodly Hour, Solange - Binz, Jazmine Sullivan - Pick Up Your Feelings.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
We start off talking about the Headie One and Tion Wayne altercation, and does it feed into the argument that ‘black people ruin places’? We challenge and debate this idea, and address the identity crisis that some black people face when they are in exclusive spaces; both physically and in employment. Is this detrimental to black people’s progress? And what does ‘progress’ even mean for black people?Denzel’s Top Picks: Wizkid - True Love ft Projexx & Tay Iwar, vb - Max V, H.E.R - Damage.Lexus’ Top Picks: Biyi - Lovebow, Wizkid - Essence ft Tems, NSG - Kate Winslet ft Unknown T.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwame.Instagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi.
In this episode we speak about the recent closure of Cineworld cinemas, and is this karma for their actions during the roll out of Blue Story? This also begs the question are cinemas are even relevant anymore, and what purpose do they serve today? Would you take a babe/guy to the cinema for the first date? And what's the cultural difference in Ghana compared to the UK?Denzel's Top Picks: Knucks - 7 Days, Odunsi (The Engine) - Star Signs ft Rundown, Chip - Killer MC.Lexus' Top Picks: Ne-yo - U 2 Luv ft Jeremih, Tiana Major9 - Same Space?, Headie One - Try Me ft Skepta.

We kick off this episode with Chip vs. Stormzy, touching on Chip’s diss tracks and the public patiently awaiting Stormzy’s response. The whole situation begs the question: do they have the same audience? We go on to discuss GOAT criteria, whether or not the title can expire and how long before being a jack of all trades starts to look like you haven’t found your lane.Denzel's Top Picks: Bryson Tiller - Sorrows, Headie One - Princess Cuts ft Young T & Bugsey, Giveon - Still Your Best.Lexus' Top Picks: emil - Own Pace ft A2, Bryson Tiller - Outta Time ft Drake, Headie One - F U Pay Me ft Ivorian Doll.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
Soooo, we celebrated our anniversary this month! Can you believe that it’s been a year already? Hard to believe, but 27 episodes later, here we are! So when we were looking back at our last year in the podcasting space, it made us reflect on the recent conversations about ownership amongst podcasters. Made us think: are we too complicit in the idea of having a boss? This led to a discussion about how the structure of jobs impact creatives, especially coming straight out of uni. And staying on the theme of ownership: if your girl buys your PlayStation 5, does she own it?Denzel’s Top Picks: Baby Keem - Hooligan, Che Ekru - Who Cares, Jevon - Girl From Bahia ft J Warner, Rema - Corny, Adekunle Gold - Something Different, SZA - Hit DifferentLexus’ Top Picks: Madz - Luv Me, PJ Morton - Repay You ft J Moss, 6lack - Long Nights, Big Sean - Body Language ft Jhene Aiko & Ty Dolla $ign, Bryson Tiller - Always Forever, Bryson Tiller - Inhale.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
On this weeks episode we talk about that thing that grows from your head-top, and that’s hair!! 02.50, we discuss our hair routines, and how they’ve changed over the years. This leads us to reflect on the maddest hairstyles we’ve had, 12.50. And the episode comes to a head, when Denzel goes in depth about his struggles with hair loss, 36.15. We end the episode debating about the ideal hairstyles we would like for our partners, 57.50.Denzel’s Top Picks: Burna Boy - Bank On It, Baby Keem - Orange Soda, Nines - NIC ft Tiggs Da Author.Lexus’ Top Picks: Trust ft Monica, Popcaan - Chill, Burna Boy - Real Life ft Stormzy.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
On this track we have the 'uncomfortable' chat about the topic of wages/salaries and all of the politics attached to it. This varies from debating about your partners salary vs their spending habits, what roles in an industry are overpaid/underpaid, and where we learnt our spending habits from. Do you feel like any young person should ever give their retail job their maximum effort? Would you ever do agency work again? And what is a reasonable wage/salary for you to retire on?Denzel's Top Picks: Children of Zeus - Hard Work, J.

On Track 24, we reflect on the transition from primary school to secondary school, and all the life changes that came with it.

On this weeks episode we discuss being public vs private with your relationship, and which one we prefer. As both can come with consequences. Does your partner require you to let people know that you’re in a relationship in social settings, as well as online? We also ask the tough question of can privacy ever turn into secrecy? As a result, we’re forced to reflect on how we’ve both manoeuvred in past relationships.Denzel’s Top Picks: Birdy - People Help The People, Anderson Paak - Lockdown, Wretch 32 - Power.Lexus’ Top Picks: Teyana Taylor - Wake Up Love ft IMAN, Deacon - Family, NSG - Grandad.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.sus @supermalt_papi
On this week’s episode we give a recap of our different experiences from our first protests. As always, we enjoy being honest with you guys, and we talk about how we feel about the progress of the podcast. We then give our feelings about the growing pains of transitioning out of lockdown, as well as our individual passions/careers.

On this weeks episode of the podcast we make our stance on racism extra clear, if we haven’t done so already. We see no space for it. Anywhere. We speak on George Floyd’s tragic murder, and the countless other BLACK LIVES that society are showing us don’t matter. We also discuss celebrity/influencer responses. Spoiler alert: we weren’t impressed. This led to us debating about looting businesses, and the power of using your voice. And how do you feel about discussing racial issues at work?Denzel’s Top Picks: Schoolboy Q - Blank Face, Giveon - The Beach, Noname - Casket Pretty.Lexus’ Top Picks: DarkoVibes - Math Set ft Mugeez, Deacon - Tomika, Pt.1, Mos Def - Climb.If you would like to discuss any of the topics raised in this episode @ or dm is at any of the given socials.As mentioned in the episode, look after yourselves as you see fit.

Are you one of those people that hate things just for the sake of hating them? If so look away! In track 20 we talk about the changing world of social media marketing, and the impact of contrarians voicing their opinions online - varying from Beyoncé, to Ssnow t-shirts, and Jordan 1’s. This leads us to debate over the power/presence of ‘black twitter,’ and who dictates what is cool/trendy in UK culture. Are pretty women really the tastemakers?Denzel’s Top Picks: R-AY - Waiting, Orinayo x T-Wiz - Questions, Drake - Not You Too ft Chris Brown.Lexus’ Too Picks: OluwaJBeats - Owner ft AdeJosh, Keys the Prince & Charlie Mase, Kehlani - I Hate the Club ft Masego, Dvsn- Miss Me?Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.cus @supermalt_papi
Cue the Ja Rule - Livin It Up horns; WE’RE BACK!! After a long wait, we’re back and talking about something that we have all been seeing a lot during this quarantine period - promo and ads. We discuss how we find the landscape of social media with the inclusion of paid ads, as well as the impact that sharing others content can have on building careers. Are ads ruining social media? Also, can you feel a way if your friend doesn’t support your content?Denzel’s Top Picks: The Code - East London SA, Nafe Smallz - Oceans Deep ft Wretch 32, Scribz Riley - Eastside.Lexus’ Top Picks: Mase - What You Want ft Total, Skepta, Chip & Young Adz - Mains, Partynextdoor - Believe It ft RihannaTwitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.cus @supermalt_papi
Track 18 is all about how people try to improve each other/situations with constructive criticism. We discuss how sensitive UK musicians are about criticism, and the differences between how people in the UK give/receive criticism vs how Ghanaians do. This leads to us debating how criticism was given in our household, and the problems and lasting effects of it; ranging from colourism to weight shaming. And finally, we give each other some constructive criticism about the things we don’t like about each other. (The room was tense this time around loool).Denzel’s Top Picks: The Notorious B.I.G - Sky’s The Limit ft 112, Brent Faiyaz - Been Away, Yxng Bane - Maximum.Lexus’ Top Picks: Tamar Braxton- The One, The Notorious B.I.G - One More Chance, Anderson .Paak - The Season/Carry MeTwitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @twinpodcast @cry.cus @supermalt_papi
Track 17 starts with a short review of SiR’s London concert. Based off the experience of going, and the content of his music, we dive into the awkward and sticky conversation of what dating/seeing somebody is; and when you are, what are the rules of engagement? This question of rules leads onto a debate about the Aunty Boots situation, aswell as whether third parties should be able to comment on/ be involved in your relationship.Denzel’s Top Picks: TE dness - Lil Birdy, Blanco - Pull Up, Dejour - Sexy19Lexus’ Top Picks: SiR - LA Lisa ft Smino, PARTYNEXTDOOR - Freak in You, Mr Eazi - Dabebi ft King Promise & Maleek Berry.Twitter: @_twinpodcast @crysus_ @quoteKwameInstagram: @cry.cus @supermalt_papi
Track 16 is a quite a laid back episode, as we have a conversation about recent events in music. We spark off the episode with speaking about how people take in the personalities of J Hus vs Stormzy. We also use the recent release of Mnelia’s ‘Say Yeah,’ to have a debate about the negative British attitude of identifying as a ‘fan’ of somebody. And after viewing G Eazy licking off Meg Thee Stallion’s face, we discuss the double standards that exist inside music between Male and Female rappers. And we end the episode by briefly touching on the exposure of subtle racism from the coronavirus outbreak.Denzel’s Top Picks: Luke James - all of your love, Anderson Paak - Trippy ft J Cole, Sampha - What Shouldn’t I?Lexus’ Top Picks: Mahalia - Simmer ft Burna Boy,SIR - D’evils, Daniel Caesar - Cyanide (Remix) ft KoffeeTwitter: @_twinpodcast @quoteKwame @crysus_Instagram: @supermalt_papi @cry.sus
*Kendrick voice* LOVE OR LUST? That’s the first question we answer in track 15, and that sets the tone for our love based episode. We look at what influenced how we viewed love growing up, including film and Ghanaian/ British culture, vs what we think love is now. And with both of us working and in uni, we debate on whether you can find love in those institutions, and to what level are those relationships real. The track ends with the age old question: when will you marri?Denzel’s Top Picks: J Hus - Big Conspiracy ft iceè tgm, Mnelia - Say Yeah, Sisqo - Incomplete.Lexus’ Top Picks: Starboy - Blow ft Blaq Jerzee & WizKid, Terrace Martin - Triangle Ship ft Kendrick Lamar, Jay Prince - Luv MeTwitter: @_twinpodcast @quoteKwame @crysus_Instagram: @supermalt_papi @cry.sus
In Track 14 we share our different university experiences. Touching on the pros and cons of both living away for uni and living at home, and what the effects of both can be in the long run.

They say life is all about the journey, and not the destination. Well, Track 11 is a combination of all the fuckery that happens on the journey, while you travel.

Track 7 asks you the big question: does your word hold weight? Through untangling this question, we take a look at the aspects of being a capper, and if we fit the mould of one.
