    The fella’s, J Hood, Kap & J Moore are a quality trio. Need more J Moore, quality music drops & I like his authentic take on sports. Less Shea would be great, give him his stapler so he’s happy in the basement. NFL is highly rated, but there are other sports where n Chicago. Hoody always brings positive vibes, also owns his personality, J Moore brings the synergy & then you have Shea banging his broomstick on the ceiling.

    Keep up the great work fellas, love the integration of Courtney, Dionne &... more
