Russ Returns to Clear the Air, Talk New Album & Address Backlash | Everyday Struggle

On the July 24th episode of #EverydayStruggle, Russ returns to the set, to clear the air with Nadeska after his first tense appearance on September 8, 2017. He also talks to the crew, DJ Akademiks and Wayno, about his upcoming second album on Columbia Records and addresses some of the backlash he deals with when trying to share his truth -- including his comments about producers being to blame for the current state of music, and why he feels it's important to speak out about the glorification of drug use in rap.
