So, this week, your hosts Bridget Kelly and Mandii B give you the second part of our 2-part interview with writer, on-air personality, and friends with benefits Blue Telusma.The ladies break down the new 21 Savage and Drake collaboration album "Her loss" and conclude... rappers are the new mean girls (11:00).
