Hip-hop and R&B is hocus pocus poof! This week we talking about, what would POTUS do? If it were you? Commander-in-chief in the booth. The messenger of the night (pause) is so uncouth. Next up in the show Aminé and Smino. Followed by three music drops keep the pace yo. We gon find out why "Not Like Us" was a single. Is Jacquees and Dej Loaf really bouta mingle on their new project. No, I won't stop it! Music class askin, how would you profit the United States if you was to take the reigns? Gotta let me know for goodness sake. Messenger of the night, try to help you stay alive. If ya POTUS, gotta keep The Message in your life.
