Episode 114: Playlists are the new Radio (Pt. 1) (feat. Carl Chery)

Carl Chery is our guest today. He is the head curator in charge for Spotify who is responsible for the infamous RapCaviar playlist. We begin our conversation trying to establish the importance of playlists today in hip hop music. We talk about if an artist can dominate the current climate and get adequate play-listing if he was solely independent. We talk about Drake's new album and also try to put a rank to him as a artist all time vs Kanye West and even Jay Z.
