Welcome back to Don't Alert the Stans!

For this week's episode, the boys kick things off by talking about the "death" of the iTunes app as Apple has announced that they are set to render the app obsolete effective immediately. As the in-house tech expert of the trio, Eden takes the reins on explaining why this has happened.

Drake is in hot water again as his father claims that he has allegedly been exaggerating an "absentee father" narrative in his music just to sell records.

After a year behind bars, City Girls' JT has finally been freed from jail. Nic and Sope discuss how the City Girls will fare going forward now that the full team is back together, declaring that their next moves will be make or break for them.

Next up, the boys pick apart the winners and nominees from the 2019 Hip Hop Awards, hilariously questioning the relevance and need for some of the categories. Amongst this, Sope randomly shares an impromptu review of the movie "Hustlers", particularly honing in on Lizzo's appearance.

Concluding the episode is an impassioned speech from Nic reprimanding the journalist who showed up unprepared for her Vogue Cover Story interview with Rihanna. Remarking how it is a slap into the face of journalists/writers who would kill to have such an opportunity.
