This week's episode is Riddim driven for all my Caribbean fam'. Put one in the air and love ya self.

For all of the supporters struggling to get through these uncertain times, I implore you to reach out a trusted friend or talk to someone. Don't allow the stress of it all to consume you.

On this the 36th episode of the Grammy, Oscar and Academy award winning podcast the billionaires talk about NDEs and Hagging(sleep paralysis). Stewie Griffin makes a rare appearance and explains the secrets of his youth and dysfunctional love for his mother. Keys’ son also makes a cameo and ransacks the place. On a more serious side however Keys & Lans share their sympathy and raises awareness in their way for the Thai people and their unfortunate situation fighting against corruption.

P.S no children were harmed during this recording...... okay maybe just one but he is okay.

What a great week for music!

Dealing with mental health during these COVID times can be overwhelming. Just like the rest of the world we are all dealing with a great bit of unbalance and uncertainty some more than others.

I wish I could tell you that the music will soothe your soul or calm your spirit. I use to believe it, but lately my mind is restless. I have screamed, I have gotten fade and I have sat in prayer. At this point I am just done. I NEED THIS TO BE OVER!

This episode is very emotionally charged, but honest.

Backward ever, forward never! The Bahamas' new motto as the local government reverts to more lockdowns and curfews for the country with no further plan of action, no plans for economic restoration, no advice for immune system health building , no true vision. The leaders are corrupt, selfish, full of greed and are puppets on a string for the rich elite. The latest entry in the "F-Word" series is here.... join us for the ride and weigh in with us about the ramifications to come from this incompetence.

Do the work, show up and stay consistent. Consistency is key!

Is it, is it really? In these COVID times creatives are rediscovering themselves and learning new trades/ skills to accommodate the changing landscape

Jobs are few and far in between, but yet we act as if just showing up and doing the work is going to help our fading hope in an end. I wanted to be positive and say some inspirational stuff. All I can offer you is a thank you for your support and prayers that we make it out with our sanity. I hope that the music get you through.
