TRADING TRACKS: Unpacking the Hosts Through Music

We’re kicking things off by letting y’all get to know us, Brittney & Jai. But instead of a regular intro, we used MUSIC to describe who we are. The twist? We didn’t pick for ourselves…we analyzed each other 👀😂. Therapist brains + playlists = some very accurate reads. Albums that made the cut: 4:44, CTRL, Thug Motivation 101, Beast Mode, Painting Pictures, Chilombo, Survival of the Fittest, In A Perfect World, and 11:11.
