Just Create. Those words from eSports rep/freelancer/journalist Erin Ashley Simon pushed her to astounding heights while recognizing her worth and claiming her greatness. From collegiate athlete to content creator, Erin’s journey has been extremely inspirational, so we talk about what the pandemic has done to her creative process, the mainstream media’s view on eSports and the respect level it’s received and what’s next for both Erin and eSports, and where she would send a friend in NYC for the best food in town. She also gives some great advice for creatives in our chat. Stay in touch with Erin at @erinasimon on most social media sites, or on twitch at twitch.tv/erinasimon

If Mickey Factz hadn’t been bitten by the radioactive rap bug, during a stint at NYU Law, he would probably be a lawyer or accountant. As it stands though, Mickey is one of the world’s best freestyle MCs. He’s also a new father. How has the pandemic affected his workflow? Ran and Mickey talk about strategies on navigating the new world post-COVID-19, and some thoughts on Jay Electronica’s release and strategies, his favorite go-to meal and how MySpace made him famous. Also, we play Factz’ newest collaboration on the new SaxKixAve project called “Optimism.”

DMC world champion DJ Q*Bert explains how he’d probably be doing bad things if he had not found the turntables. He's lost far more battles than he’s won, and learned a lesson from each one. He also explains that money is karma, and the importance of maintaining a hustler’s spirit, and how he only allows himself to play video games for 20 minutes. He also explains how COVID-19 has made this the best time to be a creative, and the story gets interesting when we talk about what happens at the end of your life.

We also get to play a sneak peek of “Doom Box,” from Q*Berts upcoming release “WAVE TWISTERS ZERO: THE ORIGINS.”
