They also tackle the rise of political violence, the use of force by law enforcement agencies, and the emotional trauma fueled by media coverage.

Get With The Times (Cam Newton is Nlectic, and ASAP Speaks on Drake and boo Rihanna)

Get With The Times (Cam Newton is Nlectic, and ASAP Speaks on Drake and boo Rihanna)

Loren LoRosa takes us behind the scenes of her real life and the real headlines. From sitting in the hospital with her mother — a stage-four lung and brain cancer survivor — to breaking down the internet’s obsession with Cam Newton’s viral “eclectic” moment. She also dives into ASAP Rocky’s long-awaited album, his growth as a father and partner to Rihanna, and the deeper layers of his ongoing tension with Drake. Loren also reflects on rap longevity, accountability, and why we don’t give Black artists enough room to evolve. Plus, she unpacks NBA YoungBoy’s cultural influence, Verizon’s nationwide outage, and what it all says about how much we depend on our phones — and each other. This episode is heartfelt, sharp, funny, and grounded in truth — proving once again why Loren LoRosa’s voice hits different.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BreakfastClubPower1051FMSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
