The Read
Loud Speakers NetworkJoin bloggers Kid Fury and Crissle for their weekly podcast covering hip-hop and pop culture's most trying stars. Throwing shade and spilling tea with a flippant and humorous attitude, no star is safe from Fury and Crissle unless their name is Beyoncé. (Or Blue Ivy.)

United Statesa month ago - Deeply Underrated Talent
I’ve listened to this weekly podcast for a decade. Crissle and Kid Fury bring so much joy to the world while also being brutally honest about the state of things. They’re blunt, hilarious and always come correct with their cultural criticism. It takes a certain kind of talent and work ethic to do this so consistently at the top level for so long. Thank ya’ll for digging through these ridiculous headlines every week so I don’t have to.

Maybe there’s some self worth issues here because you both... more
