The Man Dem Show

On Episode 206 of The Man Dem Show, Guttzy Guttz (@eldelnegro) and DJ Laz Vagez (@officialvftv) link up with R&B powerhouse Akia (@whoisakia)!

Fresh off performing on a sold-out tour , Akia drops by to discuss her journey from singing in church in Arkansas to catching her big break on Lifetime TV. She gets real about the vulnerability of songwriting , why she named her track "My Girl Gina" , and how her music embraces the "dumb, crazy, stupid" feelings of relationships. The Man Dem also try to teach her some Toronto slang and convince her to try curry goat —which is a tough sell for a famously picky eater.

In this episode we cover:

• How Akia's Facebook Live supporters paid for her studio time

• The realities of mental health while on tour

• Whether R&B is dead and the impact of artists like Chris Brown

• Southern Soul Food vs. Toronto Caribbean spots

This week on The Man Dem Show, Guttzy Guttz, DJ Laz Vagez, and Junie Moonie are tackling it all. We start heavy, debating if you can ever truly fall in love again after losing a spouse, before shifting gears to dissect why so many women bypass the "good guys" for toxic energy.

On the culture side, we break down Snoop Dogg’s messy situation with Death Row royalties, Papoose claiming 50 Cent fabricated getting shot nine times, and the reality of fake lifestyles in the Toronto music scene. We also touch on some serious local news, discussing the recent shots fired at the US Consulate in Toronto and asking the real question: is Canada actually prepared for a world war?.

Tune in for the unfiltered takes you only get from The Man Dem.
