The discography of Schoolly D is one of the most diverse and lengthy that we've ever covered on DITD. Where he begins providing the seeds of what eventually becomes known as "Gangsta Rap", he then goes through a more pro-Black phase in the 90s and nowadays operates as a relative experimentalist for somebody whose debut came out in 1985.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:15)Ben:Benny the Butcher - ExcelsiorYung Lean - JonatanJPEGMAFIA x Flume - We Live in a SocietyCharlie:Jericho Jackson - I Am HimAntsLive - Carpe Diem1999 WRITE THE FUTURE & The Pharcyde - TimelessRyder - RYDERHOODAlex Isley - WHENKatalyst - SpeakeasyVinocio - TostadosNejma Nefertiti - Jayne Wayne The JuggernautMychelle - Good DayWretch 32 - HOME?Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (14:40)Schoolly D - (23:50)Saturday Night! – The Album - (30:37)Smoke Some Kill - (33:20)Am I Black Enough for You? - (35:41)How a Black Man Feels - (40:39)Welcome to America - (44:45)Reservoir Dog - (50:22)International Supersport - (53:41)Cause Schoolly D Is Crazy - (57:27) Lighter Note - (1:04:22) Thanks for listening.

In a week where: Wandsworth Prison escapee Daniel Abed Khalife is recaptured in Chiswick. A 6.8 magnitude earthquake hits Morocco. UK goes through seven days of 30° weather. Hong Kong flooded after heaviest hourly rainfall on record since 1884. Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales resigns after kiss scandal. In Journalism: (11:14) It's been uncovered recently that the Daily Mail has approached writers of colour to be the face of negative ghost-written pieces about things like Notting Hill Carnival. So what is the point of Comment Journalism when publications even think to operate like this?In the 1st of two TV segments: (24:30) The final season of Top Boy dropped last week. If you want my thoughts on it and the show as a whole, tune into next week's DITD; for now, here's a great piece on how the locals of "Summerhouse" lived as Top Boy was filming.In the 2nd TV segment: (34:26) Suits has been popping off recently with viewership skyrocketing. As a long-time Suits fan, it makes me happy that the show is blowing up, but why exactly is Suits popping off now of all times?Lastly, in Music: (56:32) In it's 31 year history, the Mercury Prize was finally awarded to a Jazz act. And in the days since, it's been wonderful watching Ezra Collective and UK Jazz as a whole finally get their respect.Thank you for listening!
