There is still good music being made. On this episode of Mama, We Made It!, Dj and Reg discuss their favorite albums of 2025.

The state of music has certainly changed throughout the decades, and whether today's music is better, worse, or just different from the past seems to be a topic of debate for many people. However, there is something to be said about the loss of live instruments in studios and the impact of streaming and various algorithms on discovery. All of that aside, Dj and Reg still managed to find and fall in love with the music of today, and on this episode, they share their best finds.

How about you? Do you think the music of today is better, worse, or just different? Have you found any new music you love? Tell us in the comments.

Out of literally hundreds, maybe thousands of albums, Reg and Dj picked out their top 5 covers.

The task was difficult, but enjoyable, as sitting with these covers also meant digging up cherished memories that have shaped their childhood and adolescence.

It's also possible that a single album cover made both of their lists.

In the age of physical media slowly disappearing, we should take the time to sit with the art that we have, the art that influenced our development, and helped us become the people we are today. Hang on to your physical media.

What about you? Any favorites that match? Some that don't? Let us know in the comments.

Two weeks ago, OutKast was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Last month, we lost D'Angelo. Dj and Reg met up this week and discussed both, their connection, and what it means for music.

In this episode, Dj and Reg process the recent transition of beloved artist D'Angelo and reflect on his impact, artistry, and legacy. They discuss D'Angelo's unique blend of old and new, his spiritual and church influences, and how his music felt both timeless and deeply personal.

Reg and Dj also celebrate OutKast's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, connecting their rise to the broader story of Atlanta's creative explosion and the influence of crews like Organized Noise.
