Giving Her The Best That WE Got: #FreeAnitaBaker

Fresh off the heels of the 63rd Grammys (Beyonce, Meg Thee Stallion - what a moment!), we’ve got some hot takes and hot tea! This week we’re joined by the incomparable entertainment attorney Shay M. Lawson, Esq. to get to the nitty gritty of Anita Baker’s fight to own her masters. Shay breaks down how the music industry be scammin’, what recourse Ms. Baker could have, and how we diehard fans of the legendary songstress can help! Yes, we’re screaming #FreeAuntNita! 

On this week’s docket we’re bringing you updates on the Derek Chauvin trial; discussing the unprecedented settlement between the city of Minnesota and George Floyd’s family; following the on-going legal (and now, music) drama between Dr. Dre and his estranged wife, Nicole Young; shaking our heads at Broncos running back Melvin Gordon talking too damn much to the police and breaking down what you should (not) be saying if you get pulled over.
