Something Wrong With The Podcast

Move over Drake and Kendrick, it's time for the women to beef. Cardi B & Nicki Minaj reignite their ongoing feud and, as always, it gets personal. In white music beef, Taylor Swift takes a shot at Charli XCX. Yes, I listened to Taylor's new album. It was painful. Moving away from music, but staying in altercations, Mark Sanchez attacked an older man and has left political pundits unsure of how to speak on this gruesome incident. I breakdown a recent shift in my approach to expenses and honoring my emotions. We end on Greta Thunberg being detained after her Flotilla mission was intercepted and the active push by that gov't to buy media and change the narrative. Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!

Welcome back everyone! Reporting late from NYC. I was outside tonight having a disco with Doja Cat for her new album, Vie. We stay on music with the biggest announcement of the week, Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl (the DEI bowl). I'm very happy to return to a music conversation this episode and of course, I do have to offer a perspective on a few social/political topics as well, but through the lens of optimism!

Do you feel exhausted and distracted? Are you starting to feel like that's the point?, well me too. This week's distraction is brought to you by the rendering of the UFC White House slated for next year. This is exactly the files the people want - no other files come to mind. The UFC-adjacent event, Charlie Kirk's funeral, poses as another opportunity for divisive rhetoric. I end on a lighter note sharing my experience this past weekend going to a Big 10 college football game, Rutgers v.s. Iowa. Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!

Reporting live from my parents’ home in Upstate New York, I kick things off on a celebratory note. My dad was recently inducted into yet another Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in Track & Field and Basketball. This one being especially meaningful to him. I’m joined by my mom for this late-night recording to discuss the political climate following the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk. With her perspective, shaped by growing up in the 60s and living through periods of civil unrest, she helps ground the conversation, offering clarity amidst the chaos. Rather than focusing only on the day of the incident, we explore how we arrived at this moment and where things may head from here. As always, recording these conversations with my mom is something I treasure, and I’m grateful to share them with you. Our talk, true to form, closes with a hopeful call to action. Tune in for a thoughtful, heartfelt discussion that blends personal reflection, historical perspective, and optimism for the future.

Welcome back to another busy week in music and culture. Drake’s Iceman 3 stream didn’t quite hit the mark. I break down what worked, what didn’t, and how he can step it up next time. In Atlanta, Young Thug is working to get back in the good graces of the internet after more recordings surfaced. The VMAs came and went, while Justin Bieber gave us another surprise drop, SWAG 2.

On the sports side, the US Open wrapped up and we may be witnessing the dawn of a new era of greatness in tennis. I close today’s episode by paying condolences to someone who helped me get my start at Hot 97. Tune in for all this and more!

We are back with tons of beef (pause). We start with Young Thug and the recent leaked testimony and phone calls. The future of Atlanta rap seems to be getting more fractured by the week. Then we pivot to some local drama. DJ Enuff is fired from Hot 97 and Funk Flex seems to be the reason for his sudden departure. I share my personal experience with DJ Enuff from my time contributing to Hot 97. When I think of the OG's in Hip-Hop there's one rapper that's top of mind, Trippie Redd. I discuss his recent clip of him saying every new artist wants to copy the aura of 2017. Let's briefly touch on politics. Is he did or not? These are the questions we definitely should be asking a sitting US president. Anyway, I love tennis - I talk through some of the recent highlights (Coco Gauff v.s. Naomi Osaka) of the ongoing US Open. I share how the impact of minority players will build for a better future. I end with a shoulder update (I can lift again) and do a weekend recap that ends with me meeting some listeners in the streets of NY. Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!

I started recording immediately after watching the Jussie Smollett Documentary. I begin with talking through the hypocrisy of both the Chicago Police Department and Jussie. Then I pivot to Drake's obsession with Tupac's jewelry after recently acquiring his 'Death Row' chain. I make time to talk about the movies I saw this week, 'Relay' and 'Honey, Dont!' Who needs to be told not to order shrimp from Walmart? Well if you needed an official reason now you have one. There's a bad batch going around. This leads to me sharing how I've been in my cooking bag lately. I share some very simple recipes that I've been making over the past couple weeks. In awful news, it's time to talk about Raja Jackson, the son of Rampage Jackson, after his assault during a livestreamed wresting match. Let's talk Trump's hand - are we getting closer? (fingers crossed) I talk through the new music that I played over the weekend this past Saturday for a park day with friends. I end with a brief update on a few things including my recent modeling gig. Tune in for all of this + more!

"And we will live together. Until the 12th of never. Our voices will ring forever, as oneeeeee" There's a theme for today's episode and that is togetherness. This is top of mind because I saw the film 'Together' over the weekend. This segues into Offset's album rollout and a recent thought I had. I pontificate on the authenticity of Offset's therapy-inspired teaser. Then I discuss Chance's 'Star Line'. A great album welcoming Chance back into the good graces of music fans. I recount a dinner I had that led to a big name drop from this weekend. I cover instagram's new maps feature, the girl that destroyed her ex's car with glitter & salt, and Gavin Newsom doing his best Trump impression. I close with my latest learnings from therapy. Tune in for all of this + more!

With my basketball and lifting days on pause (thanks, separated shoulder), I’ve been roaming the city streets and watching movies. Follow my cinematic spiral on Letterboxd (@invsblereviews). This episode, I dive into Eddington & Weapons. In music, I break down JID and Bryson Tiller’s new albums, reaffirm that Clipse still owns the summer, and crown my official “Rapper of the Summer.” We’ve been spoiled with art lately, but I close on a heavier note, honoring journalists recently targeted in G*za and discussing the ongoing fight to protect the truth coming from that region.

Welcome back! This week I’m joined by a fellow brown boy, Pakistani AI expert Raph No Simmons — and we’re off to a rolling start. We kick things off with a story about a girl we both used to see, and somehow that spirals into our shared love of 9/11 memes (don't ask, just listen). From there, we dive deep into Uber culture, bot farms, and how politicians weaponize social media to manipulate public opinion. Then we break down the Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle backlash, how it got hijacked by Trump on Truth Social, and what that says about the current state of influence. That takes us into a broader convo about morality, AI ethics, and digital manipulation — including a story from my time at Atlantic Records, where I helped build a fake-it-til-you-make-it campaign that worked. Raph closes it out with a wild college story about how a stupid nickname almost got him and his boys kicked off campus. Tune in as we discuss all of this + more!
