10/04/2019 Duration: 01h39minA Good Honest Conversation Never Hurt Anyone! The pod bros FOLS FOREVER & MR VANS are back again for their 179th episode joined by organisers of popular brunch events, DLT. We start things off by going behind the story and origins of DLT. Why they decided to bring brunches to the London scene, how they managed to get to this current point and also their future endeavours. Following the untimely passing of Nipsey Hussle last week, a video surfaced online of rapper, Kodak Black making comments in poor taste towards Lauren London (partner & mother of Nipsey's child). The hip hop community doesn't react well to Kodaks comments in particular, T.I. Is the anger justified?
