Welcome back to another episode of In School Suspension! Hosted by Bria, Manny, and Wavy, and powered by NCEG Radio.   In this episode, the team gets real about the recent wave of high-profile legal cases, street culture, snitching, and how rap lyrics are being used against artists in court. Is the street mentality officially over, and why are prosecutors continuously going after hip-hop artists? Later on, the crew tackles the current state of hip-hop on the Billboard charts. Is hip-hop hurting, or has streaming simply changed how we consume regional music?
