About the episode

On this week's episode Jinx and Shea are joined by master podcaster, Dragonfly Jonez, to discuss Rick Ross's most elaborate and sonically grandiose body of work, ‘Teflon Don.’ In it, Dragonfly explains how Ross was able to hone in on the mafioso rap subgenre while they breakdown tracks like “Aston Martin Music,” “B.M.F.,” “Live Fast & Die Young" and “Maybach Music III.” Next, hear who had the best guest verse between Jadakiss, Erykah Badu, and Drake. And later, Jinx shares the lasting legacy of this album which lives on as a time capsule for the 2010s. Finally, stick around to hear Dragonfly Jonez join the heated courtroom debate in Deena’s Court and find out who gets to select the featured song at the end of the episode.
