This week on The Truth Hurts Jeff & Free are joined by the Sultan of Slaps himself: P-Lo. He tells us why he thinks podcasts have ruined humanity. Everybody's just looking for an exploitative sound bite to proliferate via algorithms. But P-Lo still ends up dropping unpopular truth after unpopular truth about the Bay and beyond. There's substance behind his hot takes.

Also: plenty of stories about working with legends like E-40, Too $hort, Dr. Dre, what it was like when HBK and Iamsu! blew up, convincing Swaggy P to come to the Warriors, and why you should always live your life like Lil B is watching.

Skrilla ( @paymeskrilla ) joins Jeff Weiss, Rosecrans Vic and Free at Pro Club in LA. He talks about growing up in Kensington, AKA Zombieland: a neighborhood where it is, infamously, regular but not normal. Skrilla is the self-proclaimed face of Zombieland, cultivating hits from the depths of the underworld and unleashing them to galvanize the next generation of Philly's sound. His eccentric personality, Mexican heritage, and affiliation with the religion Santeria make him a compelling character with a unique perspective that cuts through in his songs. He got started listening to Meek Mill and Lil Wayne and searching for Tyler, the Creator Type Beats, but Skrilla doesn't sound like any of those artists and no one else could possibly sound like him. He also tells the story of how he was selling drugs while breaking high school cross-country records, which is pretty impressive.
