DJ Akademiks unleashes blistering rant on Jess Hilarious & “The Breakfast Club,” calls Her a “DEI Hire”
DJ Akademiks is known for being outspoken, and he’s recently targeted comedian and media personality Jess Hilarious, who is a part of the popular radio show The Breakfast Club. On social media, Akademiks didn’t hold back his feelings about Jess being on the show, calling her a “DEI hire,” which suggests he thinks she was brought on to meet diversity and inclusion goals rather than for her talent. His comments were sparked by a fan’s tweet that suggested another contributor, Loren Lorosa, might be trying to take Jess’s spot on the show.
Akademiks quickly jumped in, criticizing Jess’s role by saying she had gone from being a comedian to just reading gossip off a paper. He argued that the show needs stronger voices and suggested that Jess doesn’t bring much value compared to others on the team. He believes she’s just there to appeal to a specific audience. He continued to discuss The Breakfast Club’s lineup, pointing out that Charlamagne Tha God is the show’s main voice. He dismissed Jess’s contributions, describing her as someone who recites information and acts in a way they think will resonate with social media users.
Akademiks’ remarks have created quite a stir online, sparking debates among fans and critics. Some agree with him, feeling he’s voicing thoughts many share, while others think his comments are overly harsh and biased. No matter what, it’s clear that when DJ Akademiks shares his views, they make an impact. Now, the question is whether Jess Hilarious will respond to his criticisms or let them pass. Regardless, the buzz around The Breakfast Club is certainly intensifying.

“We Keep Walking” by Foxy Leopard explores the quiet forces that lead us toward history
There is something unsettling about being on a journey that does not end when the destination is not assured. That tug is at the heart of Foxy Leopard’s cinematic alt-country sound on “We Keep Walking.” What looks like a simple step forward becomes a meditation on history, community, and the choices people make before they know the consequences.
The concept album Foxy Leopard released earlier tells the story of the last months before the American Civil War through the lives of common people, and the song is a turning point that takes a different turn from a typical historical song. It’s not zooming in on the war itself but on the unseen momentum building around normal families and communities.
Foxy Leopard dishes up alt-country with a cinematic edge, and “We Keep Walking” seems to be a particularly potent example of that style. This song has a forward motion that fits its theme, a driving pulse, and darker implications all the more apparent.
The vocal and production approach serves the storytelling, and there’s a control beneath the energy that makes the track’s space feel reflective, uneasy, and quietly dramatic. Foxy Leopard demonstrates how alt-country can be employed for cinematic storytelling without sacrificing its human scale. If you’re a fan of atmospheric alt-country, storytelling songwriting, and songs that find personal meaning in grand historical moments, there’s a lot to discover on “We Keep Walking.”

Lana Crow unveils a fun getaway for summer freedom on latest release “Japrisot”
Lana Crow‘s latest release, “Japrisot” is a song that feels carved from sunshine, open roads, and the call of the sea. Lana Crow’s sunny summer feel here is a perfect fit. The song takes inspiration from The Lady in a Car with Glasses and a Gun, and while it has a playfully dramatic touch, its energy is squarely aimed at adventure. Right away, the attitude is set in the lyrics, “I stole your car, I bet you weren’t prepared for this. I am driving off. To the sea, to the joy you can never know. It’s cheeky, it’s bold, it’s just right for the song’s freewheeling summer vibe.
“Japrisot” musically has the feel of a classic pop tune, with a bass line that serves as an especially enjoyable foundation for the guitar. Lana’s vocal texture is another appealing element, her breath control and warmth are cool, giving the song a playful drama without overwhelming its breeziness.
Lana Crow keeps the track moving with lyrics about speed, excitement, and the rush of taking control, the feeling of movement goes on. I’m driving fast, the rush of hitting the gas, it feels so hot, it makes me feel like a badass, this is what I call freedom. The song doesn’t just talk about a sunny day, it gives the heat, the road, and the sea something bigger, something that’s part of an escape.
