## Resource

The Rhythm & Rhymes Podcast is back with another cultural deep dive — this time we’re breaking down why the “song of the summer” doesn’t exist anymore and how TikTok changed the entire music economy without boosting streams. We also react to Live Nation’s CEO claiming concerts are “underpriced” , debate whether that’s cap or facts, and talk about the return of house parties as real culture moves offline again.
