This lively episode of The Morning Hustle Podcast serves up laughs, loyalty, and a little holiday magic. The crew talks to the cast of the new holiday movie ‘Unexpected Christmas’: Lil Rel Howery, Reagan Gomez, and Dominique Perry — who drop by to talk about their new film, which blends Black love, humor, and redemption just in time for the holidays. Lore’l’s Lo’Down then hits a somber but thought-provoking note as she reveals there are currently no hip-hop songs in Billboard’s Top 40 — the first time in 35 years this has happened. The crew unpacks what that means for rap culture, noting that artists like NBA YoungBoy and Cardi B barely cracked the Top 50 despite massive influence. 

Wrapping up, Lore’l reports on YFN Lucci, who refused a plea deal that would’ve freed him early if he testified against Young Thug. His silence, she says, is seen by fans as a rare display of street loyalty amid Atlanta’s ongoing YSL legal saga.
