One of the rare episodes where G (“Mr. Softee!!!”) isn’t in the studio until the very end of the show. Nice, clean tape, full episode with no songs cut. Great selection, hilarious airbreaks (where Tone recounts getting the gas face from Serch fans), solid show all around.

Tone disses K-Solo and plays a very dope (and very rare) track of his.
