Welcome back to Don't Alert The Stans!

Kicking off the news agenda this week is Tion Wayne and Russ Millions whose collaborative single "Body" has topped the UK Singles Chart, becoming the first ever drill song to achieve this feat.

Next up it has been announced that the likes of Quincy Jones, James Brown, Missy Elliott, Beyonce, Usher and many others are among the inaugural inductees of the Black Music and Entertainment Hall Of Fame. A first-of-its-kind tribute to the trailblazing artists, iconic entertainers, and legendary luminaries who have impacted black culture at large.

Tory Lanez’s lack of shame continues to take heed as he has revealed that he has a joint album with Chris Brown in the works. Rather than focusing on the obvious downsides to this controversial pairing, Sope uses this topic to speak out against Chris Brown's lack of musical growth and the immaturity that continues to pervade his new releases.

Closing the episode is a return to the ‘Groupchat Convo’ format where Eden and Sope use the announcement regarding J. Cole’s imminent new album to discuss their thoughts on what they need from Cole this time round and why some of his previous projects like ‘4 Your Eyez Only’ and ‘Cole World: The Sideline Story’ fell short.
