Following the release of Central Cee and J His’ recent collab ‘Slaughter,’ we talk about Hus in depth, discussing his recent creative direction, where he’s going next and the desire to hear a different side of the East London legend.

Then, we take it in turns to name the rapper that’s appeared on the most classic hip-hop albums ever, before detouring to a chat about whether Drake has a classic. Later, we share our favourite subliminal in rap history, from the likes of Nas, Biggie and more. We close by paying tribute to the late, great Dot Rotten, the London MC and producer who sadly passed away in March 2026.
