Christian rapper-turned-comic Rufat Agayev graces the show this week to give Kid Cudi his flowers, speak on the “B.O.Bification” of music in the 2010s, and explain why Lupe Fiasco changed his life. 

Rufat Agayev is a Brooklyn-based stand-up comedian, writer, and actor. Born in Azerbaijan, he immigrated to the U.S. as a refugee in the early ’90s. He first gained recognition as a rapper, opening for artists including Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, and Mac Miller, before pivoting to stand-up comedy in New York City.

Known for sharp writing, big act-outs, and inventive observations, Rufat has become a fixture of the NYC comedy scene, performing at top clubs and producing acclaimed shows in unconventional spaces like storefronts and record shops. His debut special, The Bad Rufat!, executive produced by Joe Pera (800 Pound Gorilla Media) and directed by Shaliek Jenkins, was filmed in a former Yugoslavian mob bar turned record shop.

He’s a featured writer in the HarperCollins anthology Alien Nation, hosts Scorpion Records Comedy Night, and has appeared on The Adam Friedland Show, Stavvy’s World, Subway Takes, Gaydar, MESS, and Don’t Tell Comedy.

Musician and multi-hyphenate Lexa Gates sits down with Devon for her first-ever podcast to show her appreciation for Ice Spice’s lyrics, explain the personal meaning behind her music, and to reveal the inner workings of her secret IG spam account.

Lexa Gates, the Colombian-Puerto Rican artist from Queens, has carved out a singular lane with her intoxicating blend of R&B and rap. After leaving school at 15 and teaching herself to record at home, she has since built a full-fledged career and quickly gained recognition for her distinct sound. Her 2024 debut album Elite Vessel charted on Billboard, featured collaborations with Zelooperz and Billy Lemos, and earned praise from Rolling Stone (“Artist You Need to Know”) and Complex (“one of the best under-the-radar rap albums of 2024”).

That same year, Gates staged a 10-hour performance art installation in New York City that went viral with over 300 million views, sold out her first headline tour, and debuted at festivals including Outside Lands, Capitol Hill Block Party, and London’s Jazz Café Festival. She’s since become a KITH campaign star, delivered a standout Amy Winehouse cover for Apple Music, and earned “Artist to Watch” nods from Billboard, People, and Hypebeast, alongside co-signs from SZA, Aminé, and Isaiah Rashad.

With her sophomore album I Am, Gates channels the raw emotional intensity of Fiona Apple, Amy Winehouse, and Lana Del Rey, pairing slick-talking candor with siren-like vocals that wrestle with love, obsession, and desire. As Billboard put it, she’s “one of the can’t-miss emerging artists coming out of NYC.”
