Few artists can strut the line between hard-hitting, in-your-face conceit and comical playfulness quite like the rapper Flo Milli. Her latest album, You Still Here, Ho? is a master class in swagger and good humor, showcasing the Alabama native's distinctive flow and hooky production. We open this week's show with a handful of samples from across the record — and get a lesson on the best way to say the album title — with WBEZ and Vocalo Radio's Ayana Contreras, contributor Christina Lee, Radio Milwaukee's Tarik Moody and host Robin Hilton.

Also on the program: more sonic adventures from Jack White, the first new album in five years from Joey Bada$$, calming electronics from The Sea And Cake's Sam Prekop and John McEntire and more.
