This week, on a very special LIVE episode of Catch Up, James and Jordan sit down with hip-hop blogger, personality, provocateur, and some might say "troll," DJ Akademiks. The three discuss Akademiks's rise from campus DJ to YouTube star, the controversy surrounding ‘The War in Chiraq’, his path to Complex's 'Everyday Struggle,' his feud with Vic Mensa, the BET Awards incident with Migos, and his relationships with Tekashi 6ix9ine and Joe Budden. 

Catch Up is hosted by Jordan Sowunmi and James Rathbone, and is produced by Kyle Fulton. This episode was recorded live from the Rec Room in Toronto. Research for this episode was provided by Corey Chaltas. Make sure to follow Catch Up on Instagram, and feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected].
