For The Thrill Ep. 83: ONLY3REE on Freestyling, Rap Beef, and Summer Magic

Episode 83 of the For The Thrill podcast dropped September 14, 2026, and MC Thrills and ONLY3REE cover a lot of ground. ONLY3REE explains why the number three is his whole brand. It stands for completion, and he wants to be the full package as a rapper, singer, producer, and engineer. He breaks down his different personas, from Shark Boy to Threezy, and why he freestyles every song instead of writing anything down. Then the crew gets into the Rick Ross and Drake situation, and ONLY3REE shares his theory on why Drake was never going to lose to Kendrick. In his view, people become “walking time capsules” for the music in their lives, and Drake is in too many of those memories to knock off. The talk also hits Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, the Super Bowl show that never happened, and the Young Money era.

What Else Goes Down on the For The Thrill Podcast

ONLY3REE gets real about why he stays out of rap beef, saying life is worth more than anyone’s ego. He also talks about “Summer Magic,” where he produced eight of the 10 tracks. He points listeners to “Don’t Come” for setting the tone and “New to Me” as the one the ladies keep coming back to. He makes the case for timeless music over music made out of desperation, and he closes with a story about getting his set cut off at an LA showcase, only to have a newly signed artist chase him down after to work together. His advice from that night is simple: don’t let what other people think stop you. Stick around for his answer to Thrills’ signature closing question, because nobody saw it coming.
