In this episode, I’m joined by the always thoughtful and hilarious Aminata. We start things off with a weekend catch-up, but things quickly get serious when I share two unsettling experiences of being followed in New York City—both within 72 hours. It sparked a deeper conversation about the growing sense of danger in the city and what it’s really like navigating public spaces right now.

From there, we dive into the world of music and live performances, starting with SZA and Kendrick Lamar’s new tour. We ask the tough question: does lip-syncing ruin the concert experience? Spoiler alert—we think it does. We also unpack the larger issue of new artists skipping the fundamentals like vocal training and breath control, and what that means for the quality of live shows today.

The conversation shifts to Tyla, her recent controversial tweets, and whether she’s really stepping into her diva era—or still finding her artistic identity. We talk about how often she’s compared to other artists and whether that’s a sign that her brand isn’t fully formed yet. Then there’s Justin Bieber, who was seen partying with Sexyy Red and Sukihana. While it looked fun on the surface, we share our honest thoughts about the potential of him doing drugs again.

We wrap up with a deep (and honestly hilarious) discussion about NYC life, including how Brooklyn is changing, the realities of living here, and how all of that somehow led us into a full debate on prenups and the wild clauses we’d include. It’s a packed episode full of real talk, music industry hot takes, and honest moments you don’t want to miss.

This might be the wildest episode I’ve ever recorded — and that is saying a lot.

We kick things off recapping Coachella Weekend 1, where I get into Megan Thee Stallion’s show-stopping performance (she ATE), the Lady Gaga headliner moment, and why the constant Beyoncé comparisons need to stop immediately. Let Gaga cook!

Then things take a sharp left turn when DJ Toney Handsome steps in and sets the studio on fire. He calls Coachella a “horror film” — not because of the music, but because of the smell. And from there? It’s chaos. He goes all the way in on LA DJs, claiming their mixes are trash, the ego is out of control, and the vibe just ain’t there. We dig deep into the LA vs. New York DJ scene — and yes, it gets messy.

But it’s not all drama. We played a chaotic round of Battle of the Self-Titleds — pitting legends like Beyoncé, Toni Braxton, Aaliyah, Prince, Mario (yes, Mario!), and more against each other to see who really delivered the most iconic self-titled album. Let’s just say: some of these takes will ruffle feathers.

Toney also opens up about life on tour with Leon Thomas, shares gems for up-and-coming DJs, and makes a surprise announcement that had me shook. If you’re into music, culture, behind-the-scenes tea, or just love a guest who says exactly what’s on their mind — this episode is for you. Buckle up.

In this packed episode of VibesDigest, we’re joined by the dynamic and insightful DJ Rose Gawd for a deep dive into all things R&B, career evolution, and creative vision. We kick things off by breaking down Ciara’s latest single, “Ecstasy,” and explore how her career has transformed over the years. From her early days as a peer to Beyoncé to her current standing in the music industry, we ask the big questions: What caused Ciara’s plateau? Can she reclaim her spot at the top?

Next, we shift gears and talk about the massive upcoming stadium tour featuring Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, and Summer Walker. Is Chris Brown truly ready to command a stadium crowd? How will three major artists balance stage time and energy in one night? And more importantly, do collaborative tours like this actually deliver for fans—or just the industry?

Then, we go in-depth with Rose Gawd, a powerhouse DJ born and raised in Los Angeles, who found her creative footing in NYC before returning home to shake up the scene. She opens up about her journey, the art of curating full-album parties, and how her work has caught the attention of Parkwood Entertainment and even earned praise from Mariah Carey. From coast to coast, Rose has carved out a lane that's both intentional and magnetic.

If you're into R&B, artist trajectories, and behind-the-scenes creative hustle, this is the episode you don’t want to miss. Hit play and catch the vibe.
