Capital City Podcast #118 "Drake, Nicki, Kendrick, Cole: The Final Class of Superstars?"

Who are hip-hop’s last superstars — and what does that even mean in 2025?

In this thought-provoking episode of Capital City Podcast, hosts Capital J and DL Glass dig into the evolution of hip-hop as an industry, its current plateau of “superstar culture,” and the artists pushing boundaries today.

We trace the golden era to modern day: how did the landscape shift? Where did the magic go — or did it just transform? Expect stories, sharpened opinions, and a few names you may not have heard yet.

Whether you’re a longtime hip-hop head or curious about how music culture transitions across generations, this is your front-row pass to understanding what being a superstar means now — and who’s still making it happen.

Tune in. Let’s argue, reflect, discover — and maybe reimagine what a “superstar” can be again.
