  • C.R.E.A.M.

    It's another week y'all, so here we go! Join us at the table for today's topic. The infamous WU-TANG Clan said it best - "Cash Rules Everything Around Me." This is so true when you live in a society such as this one. These United States of America love getting the coins from their people, and will not give a damn if you don't have it to give. 


    We also get into the foolishness of the O-Melon vs. Mario situation and the other shenanigans of this latest Verzuz battle. We also shed some light on the big-ass elephant in the room that D.C. just dropped on us this past week.


    Peace and Love fam!

    "Should I, or should I not?" The question artists usually ask themselves when it's time to make the big choice of joining the good ol' unions! Why not right? What's the harm in gaining more money, equity, and opportunity? Or is best to just chill on deciding until you're ready? 
    Plus we'll cover the various moments of the Tony Awards, J-Hud's new status, and the unfortunate fall of Wendy Williams. 
    Can't wait to have y'all at the table fam!

  • Half and Half

    Hey BTR Fam! 

    Back at it again with another episode titled, "Half and Half." Tune in as we discuss what it's like be in support of artists/public figures works, as well as them as an individual. Through the good, the bad, and the terrible awful. You know, when folks have that “shut up and dribble” mentality -are you one of them? You just want the work to continue, and let that individual figure out their lives, or do you seek the changes necessary to be made for them to be better and do better?

  • F.U.B.U. - "Fund Us, By Us"

    Here we are, the season finale! Wow, what a ride. 

    Join us this week at the table as we chat with our special guest, businesswoman, and artist, Ms. Tina Fears! Both of us have either worked with or collaborated with Tina on various projects, and have definitely sought her out for council as she is a sincere pillar within the Atlanta artist community. 

    Together we discuss what it's like for black and brown artists, and we have to work twice, sometimes thrice as hard. In order to receive funding for projects, it takes all hands on deck. We have to input ourselves in certain spaces in order to feel safe within them. From artistic boards to casting, to advocacy - we need to be there for us! We have the power to make a change in every space that we take up. With the proper funding so much can be made possible. 


    We hope that you've enjoyed season two and all its glory! Can't wait to bring more to the table. Until next time, much love.
