0:00.0	Welcome everyone to Dysect. I'm your host Kukushna. Today's episode is part one of our special two-part year-end series discussing the music releases of 2024.
0:12.0	Next week's episode will be our traditional favorite music of the year show, where me and Camden Oestrander award our favorite releases and songs of the year.
0:20.0	But because
0:20.9	2024 was such a big year for hip-hop, I thought it was worth doing an episode
0:24.6	specifically focused on our favorite hip-hop moments of 2024. So joining me for
0:29.5	this episode today are Torre, King Green, and James Francis. Toray is a legendary
0:34.8	journalist, King Green is a rapper, and together they host one of my
0:38.3	favorite new podcasts called Rap Latte. James Francis is also a rapper and producer,
0:43.7	who I discovered through social media, where he does hip-hop analysis and lyric breakdowns.
0:48.3	Together, the four of us revisit the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle, awarding our favorite

1:41.5	in a state of decline, losing some of its prominence there was a lack of
1:46.8	you know chart topping in 2023 with hip hop and we're kind of trying to speculate on whether that was
1:55.8	a in a slump or is this is this a sign indicator of of a more kind of global shift i think as it stands
2:04.7	now at the same time in 2024 reflecting on the year in hip-hop the conversation feels much different
