MESSSSSSAGE! This week Mega, Late & Steze recorded an impromptu conversation about their favorite music of 2017. They lay out some of our favorite albums, tracks, and opinions about music that came out in 2017. Since it was a random recording we didn't have notes and we definitely missed/ forgot a few things. (For example, Mega wants to get Post Malone TF outta here in 2018! ) We discuss Lil Wayne's Dedication Mixtape and him becoming Big Wayne, not listening to music we already know we won't like, Steze's new movie "Gaikokujin," WestsideGunn and Conway's gun sound ad-libs, Spotify, Drake- More (or Less) Life, and we all agreed that 2017 was a pretty solid year for hiphop music. Look forward to more releases like this in the future. Also check Late's 2017 Liquid Wards music mix. We released it a few weeks ago and it has some of the best music from 2017.

MLS #019 "HOW DO I PLUG IN THIS AUX?" Yo the incredible guest list grows! Episode 19 with Jyodan, @amiide and @agosound, as known as “Cirrrcle!” Mega, Late, Steze and Miss Inglewood met with Cirrrcle to record this episode in November. We talk about Cirrrcles work together, some of their individual projects and some of their new music. We also talk about the QUAVOS, Swap Meets, and how much 2pac can bench press. Late forgot the SP-404, so he and Steze do all the drops acapella style. Jyodan and Mega talk too damn much. Miss Inglewood calls Mega a mark. Ami is too damn cool. Mega gets too drunk. Ago is chilllllin. And Cirrrcle talk about their newest track “Petty” which released earlier this week. It was super dope building with Jyodan, Ami and Ago. Everyone should be looking forward to their work in the future. Also this is Mega’s first time editing an episode solo. Mistakes… may have been made. Leave comments in the doodly-doo.

Yo, back with some sustenance for all ya'll hungry Tanaka's. For this episode we had beatmaker/illustrator/gastrononator extraordinaire, Foniks! We get into a whole bunch of topics; this ep was recorded a lil while ago, but unfortunately sexual harassment is still a relevant topic, but we also get into lighter topics like poppers and Quetzalcoatl. In all seriousness, Foniks is the homey, and we're happy to finally get him on. He tells us about his travels in south-east Asia, his beginnings in Cali, and what he's getting up to here in Tokyo. Make sure to check him out cause he's mean on the drum machine plus he rolls through with a couple of EXCLUESIVES!!!

Yoooooooooooo! MLS official five-alarm alert!!! ATTENTION to all TANAKA'S!!! Mega Late Show has a new unofficial 7th member, the guest of this episode, Beatriz Moreno a.k.a. MissInglewood!!!! Honestly, she's out here killing it so much we're not only extremely grateful she's decided to purify our horrible goon-gang environment, but the amount of information and just being straight up interestingness she brought to this episode can't be understated. With a heavy history in the underground scene in L.A., from being NOCANDO's documenter and also being affiliated with DeaThLA and SNATCHPOWER, to holding it down here in Tokyo with Bae Tokyo while also establishing SNATCHPOWER Tokyo and DeaThTK, Bea is a busy woman (not female)! Listen as she tries to keep the focus on and talk about her herself as we engage in mindless, albeit hilarious, juvenile cross-talk to almost no avail! Plus ALL of MLS was in the building, shout-out to d, Vell, and Keen Kong! This description is too long!! Peace to the old gods & the new,
