At the roundtable today is Armon Sadler, a reporter currently covering hip-hop at Vibe Magazine with a byline that has graced the pages of Billboard, Pitchfork, Uproxx, and more. Sadler also hosts his own podcast "Stay Busy with Armon Sadler." Armon introduces the timeless sounds of Ashlee White and an explosive Flex bomb-worthy delivery from Jacques Laine. We spin a nostalgic, angsty anthem from Oakland's King Isis, a statement on the state of London's new sound from Rushy, and a cinematic soundscape from Hagan, amongst more. Plus a sneak peak of our exclusive interview with Jordan Ward, recorded while Jordan was in town opening for Smino & JID on the day his debut album "Forward" was released.
