We're back fresh off one of the better weekends for music in 2025. Rory and Mal stamp Clipse's "Let God Sort 'Em Out" one of the best albums of the year...even if there is one thing Mal would change (14:40). Rory has high praise for Justin Bieber's latest project "Swag" despite having one of the worst album names of all-time (35:30). Mal had FOMO watching Drake pull out all the stops for Wireless Fest (43:45). Las Vegas looks to adopt "Uno" as a new casino game which has Demaris wondering what rules will the house play by (58:22). Plus, that really was Klay Thompson in the background of Megan Thee Stallion's IG post (1:20:30), Bleacher Report's 100 Greatest NBA Players list lost their minds leaving Kobe out the Top 10 (1:25:35), and our voicemail sparks the "Who is allowed to say the 'n word' and when?" debate.

This week on New Rory & Mal we give our take on Drake's new single "What Did I Miss?", decode Nicki Minaj's Twitter crashout about Jay-Z and Meg Thee Stallion, clown Skepta for thinking the UK has a shot at beating the USA in a rap battle, and shame SeaWorld for being culture vultures #volume

After debating if we would date a partner who has a dead ex (9:48), Mal airs out Love Island for being trash (14:33). Then, we go further off the rails taking issue with SeaWorld using hip-hop to become culture vultures (41:04). While we figure out if Nicki Minaj has a point about Jay-Z (47:30), Rory tries to do the math on Scott Storch blowing $100M on just partying (57:08). Plus, Demaris thinks "John Q' is a "black" movie (1:12:00), and we get disrespectful after our voicemail (1:32:00) #volume

It's a Thursday Check-In, and today we got friend of the show and legendary Producer Jermaine Dupri on the pod. Jermaine tells us what to expect from the Magic City documentary and soundtrack, Rory pits Jermaine and Mal against each other in a game of "Vegan Dish, Song Title, or Both", and Rory and Mal make Jermaine choose between his hit records. #volume
