In this episode of Rhythm & Brunch, we kick things off by giving flowers to some local KC talent before diving into a hilarious revelation—Big Bougie just found out that KWN is a woman. From there, things spiral into a generational reality check: today’s artists are sampling our childhood jams, and we’re suddenly the “old heads” in the room. We chop it up about how these samples hit (or miss), debate whether Cynthia Erivo’s latest project qualifies as R&B, and whether genre even matters when the art is thoughtful. Tune in for hot takes, cultural commentary, and laughs that hit harder than a Neptunes bassline.

On this episode of Rhythm & Brunch, we lace up and get honest — it’s Time to HEEL. We give the supremely talented Leon Thomas his long-overdue flowers and unpack why his pen game deserves way more respect in the R&B game. Then, we slide into one of the music industry’s most frustrating trends: the deluxe album scam. Is it smart marketing or just lazy repackaging? We’ve got thoughts. Tap in for hot takes, soulful appreciation, and a little brunch-worthy mess.

Happy holidaze!! Sooooooo we kinda forgot to plug in the music so have that fast forward on and that and have ya pens ready to get these songs down.

Behind the scenes, Dutchy and big bougie have been plotting on Cherayla and her love for Sir. Let’s see how this goes…. Finally, the team takes it up a notch and had to take a breather when we discuss the viral R&B mt Rushmore

On this episode we welcome back Ki Lo Lo!! What’s up Ki!! We get straight into it. When you see your friend out with they little yea yea, how do you act? We are on Alex Isley watch!! Why Kilo be blocking Big Bougie? And MJ never sang to the coochie. Let’s go….

On this episode, the gang educates Dutch on how to act and what to expect when dating women with children. Cherayla asks what are your sex playlist must haves? And we touch on separating the art from the person…

It seems like every time we play music, the gang gets real intense about wtf R&B really is. Cherayla brings a Lady Gaga song that lead us to ask “are ballads classified as R&B?” We then reintroduce the R&B House to the show and left with a little room for improvement. We show big love to Warner Bros new signee Alex Isley, and you DONT wanna miss Dutch’s date story

The team jumps right on in and WATCH YOUR EARS!!

Today we get into Big Bougie’s nasty ass date story, we go deeper into the listening segment that we planned.
