Stepping inside the Mixlab this week is AJ Showtime from Baltimore, MD. The veteran DJ dominates the technical side of DJ'n while giving his audience a heavy dose of Baltimore flavor. We talk about his growth as a DJ, the artform itself, state of the industry, and the sound of Baltimore.

The story behind my tenure in Buffalo is interesting. It's one of my favorite to recant because it almost didn't happen. Thanks to a little push from some good people around me, I took a leap of faith. It turned out to be the best year of my life.

Two weeks ago I went to Dallas to visit my best friend, Fred. We had quite the time in the Lone Star state where the food is literally a gift from God. The mental food was equally filling as being in Texas taught me a valuable lesson.

We are NOT the products of our worlds around us rather we ARE the worlds around us. I found "The Nucleus Theory".

It was a day that unified cultures through tragedy. We will never forget the day that we lost NBA Superstar Kobe Bryant.

By looking at his short life, we can learn valuable lessons about leadership, focus, drive, passion, and resilience. Here's my story about 'My Mamba' and what Kobe meant to me.

A bit of nostalgia for me. Got my family from the Absolutely Dope Podcast to join in for today's episode. We talk all about toxic behavior and whether the term is misused in our cultures.
