J. Cole just surprised fans with a brand new mixtape titled “Birthday Blizzard,” catching the internet completely off guard. We talk about the release, the timing, and what it could mean for Cole’s next move. The callers, however, weren't giving J.Cole a break! Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar has been named Billboard’s Greatest Pop Star, sparking debate about what “pop star” even means in hip-hop today and why Kendrick’s impact goes far beyond just charts. Plus, Kevin Durant proves once again that he’s undefeated online — responding to troll tweets about his ashy ankles and somehow flipping the jokes into a CeraVe lotion deal. Internet bullying… but make it a brand partnership. SUBSCRIBE: https://hot97.nyc/subscribe GET MORE: https://hot97.nyc/getmore

From Trump and Nicki Minaj suddenly being political besties (Nicki Minaj had to get her Gold Card someway), to Kanye West officially setting a release date for his new album “Bully,” and NYC getting rocked by a dangerous bomb cyclone — we’ve got a lot to talk about. We break down what’s really going on with Nicki and Trump’s growing public connection, what Kanye’s new album rollout could mean for his career (and the culture), and how the bomb cyclone is impacting New Yorkers right now. Yikes!    SUBSCRIBE: https://hot97.nyc/subscribe GET MORE: https://hot97.nyc/getmore
