Of course, Sway is gonna have the go-to smart Brother speak on the Coronavirus when he comes through. How could he not? Shout to Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson for always bringing light, logic and a bit of levity to even the most touchy matters #ButNoTouchingNowadays #SocialDistancing
In our recent interview with Neil Degrasse Tyson, he talked about the new season of The Cosmos, breaks down the falsehood of the theories that humans use only 10% of their brains, and how genetics can pass down intellectual and physical attributes.

4-IZE – “Verse 164†(Prod. By Mudnoc) [Video]
March 13, 2020
You know what? 4-IZE has a point: Where are all the flying cars?? We haven’t even gotten self-driving cars out and about yet. We are behind schedule with the sci-fi tech we are supposed to have by now. Good thing we got these unbelievable flows (but believe, because FACTS) from Bro4 though.

Nia Long Speaks On That ‘Cherry Thong’ Line And Her New Movie (Video)
March 6, 2020
Listen. I got kids to put through college. I will sell some cherry thongs!
Hey, hey, Sway! Back up, son. I got the answers for Nia, not you (haha)!
O…M…G! I will buy a woman some Nia Long thongs on sight!! That idea is epic. And the visual I got going in my mind right now… ooooh weee!!
Nia Long is starring in a new movie called The Banker alongside Anthony Mackie and Samuel L. Jackson coming out in March 2020. The film is about two Black men who started a company, but hired a White man to act as if he was the owner as they posed as the janitor and chauffeur as they ran the business back in the 1950’s. Nia Long stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about her role in the film.

Talib Kweli & Rapsody Chat About Her Influences And Relationships, Rap And Otherwise, At The “People’s Party” (Video)
March 5, 2020
You taught me the power of the microphone.
Very nice!
Nowadays, Rapsody is now a force on her own. Top-tier lyricist and artist, for certain. But it would be quite okay to judge her based on the company she keeps… because that is some POWERFUL company. Good get for the ‘cast, Kweli. I’m leaning in and listening!
In this episode of People’s Party, Talib Kweli and Jasmin Leigh sit down with rapper and writer Rapsody. This introspective interview highlights the huge contribution this talented lyricist has made in bringing the B-Girl back to the forefront of the culture. They discuss her growing up in the tiny town of Snowhill, NC; she speaks on being largely inspired to rap from growing up listening to MC Lyte and Lauryn Hill; and she shares the profound life advice she received from Ms. Hill. Rapsody also defines why being pro-Black doesn’t translate to being anti-White.
Later Rapsody reflects on her close friendships with Mac Miller and Nipsey Hussle, and the enormous loss the Hip-Hop community felt with their passing. She speaks on her regular collaborations with 9th Wonder and his Soul Council beat crew, then details every member’s signature style. She also digs into the guidance (and playful moments) she’s shared with Jay Z, and her friendships with Kendrick Lamar, DaBaby, and J.I.D.. Rapsody explains how the concept for the “Eve” album came about and responds to the notion that female fans only want to hear “songs for the ladies.” She also has wise words for the women in the game about being themselves regardless of any criticism they receive about their appearance or content.

Jada Pinkett Smith Invites Snoop Dogg To The Red Table… To Heal (Video)
March 3, 2020
What about when I wanna cry? What about when I wanna hurt?
This is gonna be ANOTHER epic Red Table Talk.
Oh, that’s right. Tupac is the link between Jada and Snoop (watch, cover that right away). Low-key, well not really since I am typing my thoughts here, this is pretty brave of The DoggFather to come on the show known for getting them Oprah tears out of guests… Speaking of Oprah… Jada, Gammy, and Willow WILL be getting Snoop to go in on what he said about O’s BFF Gayle King. So, lean in!

Royce Da 5’9 | The L.A. Leakers | Freestyle #100 (Video)
March 2, 2020
It’ll take me nothing to put your life on the Dollar Menu, like Egg McMuffin.
Doing anything 100 times is work. One hundred episodes of any show is a big deal for any series. The L.A. Leakers series notwithstanding; and they figured out how to make this even more special… bigger… by bring in someone to bring in the BARZ and keep it 100 on episode 100. So here we go.. Royce Da 5’9!

Loaded Lux Presents: Topshelf Freestyle (Finale) [Video]
March 2, 2020
This is a big deal.
Loaded Lux is right. Not just because it’s for 5 bands. 5 racks. 5 stacks (big prize money). Not just because, this time, the Hot 97 Morning Show is also judging. Not just because the station is giving one of the voters a thousand dollars… nah, not because of just any of that… Because of ALL of that!
This is the Final Four! Chayna Ashley, Elz Money Muzik, She Real, Pressure225… all to bring the HEALTHIEST BARZ ever! To nourish us! To make Hip-Hop HEALTHY again!!
Congrats to our Grand Prize Winner Chayna Ashley for Season 1 of Top Shelf Freestyle.
After a national call-out for free-stylists to drop and post their tightest “24 bars” last year, host and freestyle extraordinaire – Loaded Lux selected 16 emcees to be featured in our 4-part video series to compete for the “top crown” on Hot 97 Youtube and HOT97.com.
Your VOTE helped determine the grand prize winner for Season 1.

D Smoke – “2020 Sway In The Morning Freestyle†(Video)
February 27, 2020
Dude. Seriously. I gotta learn some Espanol so I can flex on folks and stun ’em! You see how G’d the OG Alfonso Ribeiro was when D Smoke hit him with the smoke… Then, just when he thought the ride was over… Smoke hit the gas and stunted! Popped a wheelie by popping off barz in Spanish to fully rep Inglewood. D Smoke = HYEEEENAAAAA!!! #FiveFingersOfDeath
(And yeah, I said Alfonso Ribeiro is an OG… Dude was pop-locking when Michael was moon-walking… recognize he was break-dancing before he was Carlton dancing!)

Activism: Black History In Two Minutes… Or So. Watch And Learn! (Video)
February 26, 2020
Never, ever, let anyone tell you what your government will NOT do to its citizens… especially its brown and Black citizens. Americans are pretty okay with believing that ‘other’ countries do bad things to their people; but not us.
Bullsh!t.
The Tuskegee Study smashes that idea to bits. Is this when America was supposed to be ‘great’… where they want to go back to… Because hell no, we won’t go!
But hold on. After this visual enlightens you and fires you up, hit the jump and watch all these Black History shorts. Let’s wrap this month in power #RaiseYourFist #RaiseYourAwareness #PressPlay
