Jim Jones, Dave East, Maino, and Fabolous Team Up for “Let’s Rap About It” Podcast

Four notable figures from the 2000s and early 2010s New York City hip-hop scene are joining forces for the new podcast “Let’s Rap About It,” set to premiere on September 22. Jim Jones announced the project on his Instagram page, describing it as “highly requested” and expressing excitement about engaging with fans.

The podcast will feature Jones alongside Dave East, Maino, and Fabolous. Dave East, signed to Nas’ Mass Appeal label, adds a potential source of tension as Jones has suggested he sees himself as more relevant than the Queens legend. Fans of Fabolous have expressed a preference for new music over podcast appearances, noting he has not released a full album since 2019. Jones and Maino have previously collaborated as Lobby Boyz, releasing an album in 2022.

Reactions to the announcement have been mixed. Some users criticized the move as a cash grab, while others noted the saturation of podcasts in the hip-hop industry. Skeptics worry the market is oversaturated and question whether the show will offer anything new.

Despite that, the podcast promises engaging content. All four co-hosts are known for strong personalities and unique experiences in the industry, which could lead to lively debates and discussions. Longtime fans may find value in hearing their perspectives on music, culture, and their personal journeys.

There is speculation the podcast could lead to additional collaborations, including potential music projects, though nothing has been confirmed. Regardless, “Let’s Rap About It” is positioned to draw attention and generate conversation among fans of the quartet and the broader hip-hop community.
