THUMBS UP

Plaque pics are back, baby, and this shot of CMG/N-Less/Interscope's Moneybagg Yo receiving his "Billionaire" bona fides (marking 1b+ streams on the platform) from Pandora Director of Hip-Hop J1 gives us a warm, fuzzy glow. That may be due in part to the tequila. In any case, this photo was snapped as the culmination of a Black Music Month "Pandora Playback" session, during which Bagg discussed the making of his #1 album A Gangsta's Pain, among other subjects, and everyone enjoyed seeing the lower halves of one another's faces.
