7.24.26 — Mornings With Mero is back with Mero, Mia Bell, Kaz, Shani Culture and DJ Kast One covering the biggest stories, wildest moments and conversations from the morning. The show talks about YG being detained by police in connection with a search warrant related to the death of Draco the Ruler, personal experiences with unexpected police stops, and how policing has changed since the ’90s.

The Magic Hour gets into Staten Island, expensive tolls, congestion pricing, public transportation, “regrettable cheeks,” and reactions to The Game and YG’s Verzuz matchup. Plus, Hip Hop Jeopardy returns with callers competing for Summer Jam tickets, featuring questions about East Coast hip hop and some of the biggest names performing at Summer Jam 2026.

The show also talks about getting ready for Summer Jam, what the hosts are wearing, who they’re most excited to see, and the anticipation surrounding the big night in New Jersey.
