After our recent ep with Tony of Bird City Saints, it's only right that we re-rock the EP with Joshua Castaneda before we get back in tune with him. Check it out:

Bird City Saints finest Joshua Castaneda joins J. Glass to tell the journey of an artist. Out of Phoenix, AZ, he runs with a creative clique that enjoys what they do first and foremost while being able to present their work and profit from it. Joshua takes the time to explain to us why it is important to him that he sees the fruit of his labor and how being an artist contributes to your life in a million different ways.

As we transition to a new space we decided to go in the basement, dig into the crates to re-release a goodie from one of the dopest creators I have ever met: Xpayne

Xpayne is an artist that I had the opportunity to meet in Memphis at an art showcase. Xpayne has been putting together pieces since he was a child painting on his living room walls. He goes in-depth as he talks about the purpose of his work, his opportunity to work with Insecure star Issa Rae & blockbuster movie director Spike Lee. Get in tune with the Nashville, TN artist Xpayne. Check his page at xpayne.com or on IG @xpayne. Also, we are also on Apple Podcast now! Search Trappin Outcha Momma Basement

Lately I been telling myself we have to celebrate our accomplishments. Find a reason to be proud of who we are and what we do, especially in the era of COVID.

So I'm asking you to pop the champagne and grab your handbags from Shop Sassy Boutique. Simeka is a long time friend who has started multiple businesses over the last few years and is now a full time working for her business. In this EP we discuss her journey, her successes and failures, and how she has been ahead of the game in terms of wholistic online products.

Tune in as Simeka details how she started Milky Melons LLC and Shop Sassy Styles.

Putting in work with little to no reward is necessary when getting started. Creative Director Dante La Fier of New York started learning his craft at a young age. He has developed his skillset for the last 6-7 years which has positioned him to be one of the dopest graphic artists out at just the age of 20.

Tune in as Dante discusses his experience working with artist such as Gleesh, Rich The Kid, Yung Bans and more.
