New Rory & MAL

All is back to normal as we got Demaris back after her vacation to close out the week. Shoutout to Rory for getting a placement on DJ Khaled's new all-star dancehall track. Demaris and Rory think Mariah The Scientist might have dropped a Top 5 R&B album of 2025. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get engaged, but do we honestly give a damn? French Montana just married his way into becoming the world's richest rapper. Any chance he's able to pay Jay-Z enough to perform at the wedding? Plus, Cardi B kills it in the courtroom, Mal is convinced Bieber goes around sayin' the N-Word, and our voicemail got us encouraging violence #volume

First off, shoutout to us for reaching episode 400. We got an update on Lil Nas X, and Rory and Mal start to wonder if this was a humiliation ritual (16:18). A check in on DJ Khalid leads to a discussion on if the music industry is cooked and if artists like Rihanna and Jay-Z will ever drop an album again (24:55). Mal wonders if he's the right guy to review Cardi B's music (45:13). Drake is set to reappear on Bobbi Althoff's new podcast, but why won't he appear on New Rory & Mal? (54:19) Plus, Rory does some self reflection after watching the Jussie Smollett documentary (1:17:45), and a voicemail leads to a debate on what is and isn't appropriate blackmail (1:38:28) #volume

This week on New Rory & Mal we debate if J Cole going to college makes him less hip-hop, will Jake Paul knock out Tank Davis, did Cardi B do "Imaginary Playerz" justice, and why Tyla has failed to reach the heights of Rihanna #volume

Not a lot on the timeline so this one went a bit off the rails. Demaris has a theory as to why Tyla's album didn't do Rihanna numbers (39:16). Rory can't figure out if Lil Nas X needs help or if he's trolling again (57:50). Jake Paul and Tank Davis are set to go at it in November, and Rory and Mal are thinking about betting on the underdog (1:18:22). Plus, Megan Thee Stallion's spaghetti and catfish dish got Mal wondering what Baby D is like in the kitchen (1:33:20) + more! #volume
