The BlkPrint

A present for the BlkPrint faithful: our return to ThrowBLKs with the greatest Future mixtape ever, Monster! 🎁

Picking up where we left off with our deep dive into his sophomore album, Honest, we follow the Freebandz leader at a pivotal crossroads in his journey. Could his pop-driven success have led to overexposure? Was it time to strip everything back and reconnect with the raw, unfiltered sound that first made him a star? With Monster, Future not only answered these questions but also delivered one of the most influential mixtapes of the 2010s. In this ThrowBLKs special, we’re diving track by track into the timeless verses that shaped the project, unpacking the stories and emotions behind each record, and exploring how this mixtape set the stage for Future’s domination of hip-hop’s landscape.

Join us as we celebrate Monster’s legacy—from the haunting vulnerability of our favorite records to the gritty anthems and hilarious ad-libs and that still resonate today.

Damn, maybe 'Die Hard' really is a Christmas movie!

J5 and MC are back from the holiday break with a jam-packed 'Overly Conversating' bonus! This week, the duo unravels the bizarre case of the UnitedHealthcare CEO murderer and dives into the internet's love-hate relationship with this year's Spotify Wrapped. Plus, they dissect Drake's controversial legal move against UMG and what it says about the music industry, reflect on the highs and lessons of MC's first year in Los Angeles, and settle the age-old debate: is 'Killa Season' a Christmas movie?

Tune in next week for our return to ThrowBLKs, as we honor the ten-year anniversary of Future's greatest mixtape, 'Monster'. Details for our early Patreon release will be out soon for all subscribers of our Patreon newsletter -- join for free!

What makes the world go 'round better than sports violence?

Tune in for plenty on Mike Tyson and the self-proclaimed face of boxing Jake Paul, the 20th anniversary of 'Malice In The Palace', infiltrating The Wall at Intuit Dome and the future of sports streaming wars. Also tap in for our follow up on Bluesky's surging numbers, our official 'GTA VI' Christmas wish lists and more.

Even on the week of Halloween, nothing is scarier than next week's possibilities!

On the latest BND Bonus drop, J5 and MC share their very first views of BlkPrint Studios with a huge thanks for all the patrons who helped make this possible across Patreon, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube. Tune in to hear their recovery process after a wild night at Wale's 'Every Blue Moon' Tour, the concerning posts (or bots!) found in LA's Threads community, all of the jokes on Dwyane Wade's statue and a very purposeful conversation for the country leading up to Tuesday's impactful Election Day.
