Bishop William Murphy kicks things off with a powerful Praise Break, then we dive straight into the headlines — and the news is heavy. Conflict overseas is driving up oil prices, and a shocking new report reveals just how many Black men and women lost jobs in recent months, with a staggering $87 billion in lost income. But there’s a silver lining: Atlanta is leading the charge in Black business growth. Over in sports, Steph Curry is making a legacy-defining move, and the WNBA’s head coach is sounding off on the distractions hijacking the league. Then Brat hits the Hot Spot with a bombshell — Donell Jones just announced a Verzus battle that’s going to “break the internet,” and it’s happening this month. Plus, rumors swirled all weekend about a certain hip-hop billionaire dropping a new album, but Roc Nation had something to say about that. And if you grew up on a certain classic HBCU sitcom, you won’t believe who’s singing the theme song for the Netflix reboot. Rock T spotlights a powerhouse HBCU president who secured a $40 million gift from one of the world’s most famous philanthropists, and we close out with a real talk segment that’ll have you questioning your own morals next time a cashier forgets to ring something up.
