    The fella’s, J Hood, Kap & J Moore are a quality trio. Need more J Moore, quality music drops & I like his authentic take on sports. Less Shea would be great, give him his stapler so he’s happy in the basement. NFL is highly rated, but there are other sports where n Chicago.

    Keep up the great work fellas, love the integration of Courtney, Dionne &... more
