  • Can’t get past the audio

    I wanted to like this so bad, but the audio quality is so bad. I can barely hear what he’s saying at times and it ruins it for me. I really hope they get it figured out. Very unfortunate.

  • Outstanding True Crime From a HipHop Legend

    Joe Budden is a NATURAL. His world weary hard boiled delivery is perfect for these all-too-human tales of murder, malfeasance, and mayhem. Joe carries a street level authority without hype or over dramatization. He’s not telling these stories for laughs albeit not without an appreciation for aspects of the dark humor of the Human Comedy. True Crime heads, there’s a new sherriff in town - add Joe Budden to your feed.

  • I love the pod! But I miss parks…

    I love the content , and Joe is really good with his delivery but coming from The Joe Budden podcast , I miss Parks and the quality he has gotten us accustomed to. The second episode definitely sounds much better but still misses the finesse Parks brings.
