Ebro and Rosenberg use Family Friday to catch up on a Rundown that's been piling up. NBA YoungBoy's comments about wanting to leave music spark a conversation about his enormous following, his connection with younger fans and comparisons to DMX. Then they get into 215, a scripted series in development about Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff's early hip-hop years, leading to a debate over Run-D.M.C., crossover success and "Walk This Way."

Later, Chris Rock's latest headlines bring the Will Smith slap back into the conversation, a listener checks in for Family Friday, and a report about stolen cars being shipped overseas from New Jersey prompts Ebro to tease a wild personal story for Patreon.
