Autumn Leaves
Since you went away the days grow long, and soon I'll hear old winter's song.
Put this one on at 3:30pm and stare out of the window.
What We’re Up To
Hey y’all!
Hope everything has been going well on your side of the inbox. It’s been a very busy time over here at TROY headquarters. We recorded 3 episodes with plans of editing and uploading them throughout October, but “silly of me, to think that I…” would be able to make that happen with what we had going on. But we did get one of them out a couple weeks back.👇🏾
Now that the smoke has cleared, there will be new episodes starting next week, through the end of the year, so be on the lookout for those, and check out the one posted up top, where we get into the “Around The Way Girl” video.

What We’re Watching
Loot on Apple TV+
We’re getting back into this one now that season 3 just started a couple of weeks ago. Maya Rudolph is pretty much playing an over-the-top version of MacKenzie Scott (Bezos) in this workplace comedy.
In “Loot,” Molly Wells (Maya Rudolph) embarks on a journey of self-discovery after getting an $87 billion divorce settlement from her wealthy tech billionaire husband John Novak (Adam Scott) of 20 years, and we find her thriving in her role as the head of her philanthropic organization, the Wells Foundation.
If you’re looking for a show that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and is just a fun, 30 minute watch, check this one out.
Check out Loot here.

What We’re Listening To
Infinite by Mobb Deep
Mass Appeal is still dropping albums in their Legend Has It… series, and the latest one is a semi-posthumous (since Havoc is still with us) release from Mobb Deep. Sonically, the production from Havoc and The Alchemist what you would expect from Mobb Deep, they’re not trying to make something trendy that “kids” would be into. They stuck to the script. And even though it’s been 8 years since Prodigy has passed, these verses don’t feel out of place in 2025.
Check out Infinite here.
You Down Wit’ O.P.P.? (Other Peoples Podcasts)
Rolling Stone: Musicians on Musicians
I just randomly found this one today while looking for something on YouTube. There’s some pretty good ones here to get into, but you can start with this episode with Redman & Black Thought.
Our seventh annual Musicians on Musicians moment is packed with insightful, surprising conversations between great artists. We brought together some of today’s hottest hitmakers, most respected veterans, and most exciting acts
from around the world — and let the magic happen.
Check out more episodes of Musicians on Musicians here.
Random Internet Shenanigans
Carl Lewis is one the greatest athletes that we’ve ever seen, but he had no business trying to parlay that into a singing career, but here we are.
Closing Time
