A brand new season of #EverydayStruggle is back, and for the first episode of the year (Jan. 14) DJ Akademiks, Nadeska and Wayno recap the first annual Everdyay Struggle Awards, which aired in December and handed out trophies to artists like Pusha T, MoneyBagg Yo and Lil Baby. Then the crew dives into Soulja Boy’s claims of having the biggest comeback of 2018 over Tyga. Later in the show, the trio jumped into the first set of album reviews of the year, sharing their thoughts on 21 Savage’s ‘I Am > I Was’ and Kodak Black’s ‘Dying to Live,' before Akademiks went through sales numbers. The EDS crew also discusses the recent ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ doc-series that digs into his past sexual abuse allegations, Lil Uzi Vert reportedly quitting music, the so-called Rae Sremmurd split and Kanye vs. Drake [again].
