Sleep Talkin' Podcast

Episode 88 brings the chaos and the calm — kicked off by the Bad Bunny halftime announcement and the internet firestorm that followed as fans debate who belongs on the biggest stage. We spill the tea on the Cardi B / Ice Spice / Nicki Minaj drama.

The episode takes a serious turn with a news roundup covering two tragic shootings — the crowded boat‑bar attack in North Carolina (3 dead, 8 injured) and a church shooting in Michigan.

Then we lift the vibe: Dream Announcements include Frost Money’s Freaks & Geek show tonight, upcoming events, and the host’s new releases.

In Sleep-E’s Spins we crank through Mariah Carey, Big X the Plug, and KNG Ego — highlights, surprises, and verdicts. We sign off in Dreamers’ Corner with Anna Maze, sending listeners off inspired and ready to dream bigger. Tune in for drama, grief-aware news, music heat, and a hopeful finish.

Returns, Reactions & Recs — I kick off the episode with what I’ve been working on and my goals for the podcast, then dive into the week’s biggest moments: Tank vs Jake Paul at 195 — pure entertainment or a spectacle? — plus the passing of Assata Shakur, and the mixed reactions to Jimmy Kimmel’s return but the real importance of his return. Sleep-E's Spins include new rating system 1-5 spins and include deep takes on Cardi B’s personal new album, Tech N9ne’s introspective 5816 Forrest, Ciara’s dance-ready set, and a quick note on Mariah’s new drop. Dreamers Corner shines on rising R&B talent Quise B. Raw takes, hot recs, and real talk — tune in, subscribe, and tell me what you think.

Episode 86 packs punches and hot takes — I break down Canelo vs. Crawford, unpack the Jimmy Kimmel suspension drama, hear Kehlani’s fiery stance on AI in creativity fields, and run through new drops from Ice Cube, Jermaine Dupri, and Metro Boomin. Plus, a spotlight on rising star Krystal Poppin. Tune in for controversy, culture, and bangers.

In this episode I celebrate my birthday with a first trip to New Orleans—day drinking, a ghost & vampire tour, a swamp tour, and diving into voodoo and the roots of jazz. I then explore genre-bending in country and hip‑hop with examples like Beyoncé, Shaboozy, and Big X the Plug, and call out “culture vultures” who use hip‑hop for crossover clout (Post Malone, Machine Gun Kelly, Jelly Roll, Miley Cyrus). I discuss whether songwriting in hip‑hop is dead or a lost art, and close with an artist spotlight on up‑and‑coming rapper Makk.

Welcome back to the podcast! After some time away, I’m excited to reconnect with all of you and share what I’ve been up to. In this episode, I kick things off with some exciting Dream Big Announcements about upcoming projects and plans.

We’ll dive into some hot topics, starting with the news of the CDC director stepping down and what that means for public health. Then, I share my thoughts on Fat Joe and Jadakiss's recent take on snitching in hip hop—trust me, you won’t want to miss this discussion!

Next, we’ll switch gears to sports, breaking down the latest buzz, including the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight and the surprising trades by the Cowboys.

Finally, I spotlight a fresh new artist you should keep an eye on, wrapping up the episode with my thoughts and a heartfelt goodbye until next time.
