Kiara Gets Drunk and Talks About Music

“And I turn the six upside down, it’s a nine now.” In Episode 38, there is truly no place like home as Kiara welcomes back resident R&B expert Farrah via Zoom to discuss Drake’s fourth full-length studio album Views (2016). In this episode we devote ourselves to the teachings of the 6ix God himself, from his humble beginnings on Degrassi to his sizable impact on Toronto tourism. And over the course of a few Back Nine Cocktails, we make the case for Drake’s sensitive yet incredibly relatable rap style, his eventual evolution to Jamaican dancehall music, the absolute earworm that is “Hotline Bling”, and his stellar collabs with the likes of Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. But we also make time to discuss Farrah’s current TikTok algorithm, Kiara’s idea for a Baby Shark remix, the contemporary R&B classic that is “Bedrock” by Young Money featuring Lloyd, and Toronto’s greatest landmark.
