You have to admit, 2025 was a great year for music, and I don’t care which genre you gel to. 
 So here are my best, not yours, mine. With way too many late nights, skipped plans, and “one more track” tendencies.

No filler. No algorithms. Just great music that stayed with me.

Agree. Disagree. Let’s fight it out in the comments, nicely and intelligently, please.
 
 I'm dropping another video on the most interesting singles of 2025, stay around and I’ll see you later in it.

Honestly, there’s no theme for this one — it’s just me yapping about films, directors I love, and whatever else comes to mind.
Consider this episode as you and me just hanging out, talking about cinema and everything around it.

So… do you actually know any of these women?  

Everyone can name Nicki, Cardi, maybe Megan, but female rap is way deeper than the charts. I’m putting you on to the underground queens who spit harder, stranger, smarter, and sometimes sexier than the mainstream. If you already know them, congrats — your playlist is on point. If not, consider this your cheat sheet before someone side-eyes your ‘rap knowledge.’

This solo episode came from a comment someone left me: “How did you get yourself out of a very low point in life?” So I answered. 
I share the lessons, the mindset shifts, and the little things that helped me climb out, maybe this can help you too.

Today I sat down with Hip Hop OG Doughboy (yes, he’s a big pro-wrestling fan) along with MKW’s Adrian & Coldray. 🖤
I don’t know much about professional wrestling, especially professional wrestling in China, so I asked them a punch of questions 🤼‍♂️🎤.

Let’s talk about my favorite musicians 🖤 and why I think relying on online music critics is one of the most unreliable things you can do. In this solo episode, it’s just me, my playlist, and some brutally honest thoughts. 🎶

Today I sat down with my friend Billy from Esoteric—many of you remember him from his OG influencer era, but now he’s living a whole new chapter as a young dad. 👶✨
We talked about Kanye (yes, kinda), fatherhood, and meditation.
Drop a comment and tell me what you think! 🖤

🖤 In this solo episode, we’re going full Goth.
Ever since I was a kid, I knew I belonged in this world—not just because of my naturally jet-black hair, but because it’s dark, witchy, and endlessly fascinating. Let’s talk about it. 🦇

I've asked Yvonne to come have a chat with me, being Third Culture Kids ourselves, we have a lot of common grounds.
We talked about our take on racism, food cultures, and some other random stuff, hahaha.
