The Kendrick and Drake beef continues. We’re talking to Dua Lipa. We take you inside WILLOW’s album release party, and Rapsody shows us How It Went Down. It’s Friday, May 3rd, but before you enter the streets, let’s get into this entertainment news, starting with your Friday Music Guide. Dua Lipa is injecting us with some ‘Radical Optimism’ and it’s gonna make you move. More bops later in the show but now your top story. The Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef just won’t end after K.Dot fired off a second explosive track, we’re breaking down some of the top moments. It keeps on going. After so much back and forth like Drake’s “Push Ups” and the just released “euphoria” from Lamar, most fans have crowned their winner, but Kendrick’s gun was still loaded he dropped “6:16 in LA” with some pretty lethal bars towards Drizzy. The Internet is really latching on to the section about OVO. Kendrick at this point seems to be giving advice to Drake, making the Toronto rapper question if his own team even has his back. After Kendrick’s one-two punch is the beef over? Or are we expecting another track from Drake outside of a questionable IG post? Let us know your pick. Sia is back with ‘Reasonable Woman’ and the album’s got all the good stuff you’d expect from her. She’s even recruited the queen Chaka Khan. Dua Lipa might be one of the sweetest people I’ve ever sat down with.
