Views From The Thick Podcast

This week I’m joined by my guys JJohnson313, Dame___313, JUNE & Barry of The Uprising Network. We gave out some well deserved flowers to some culture favs who may never see the verzuz platform solely because they lack in “quantity” but as you will hear in our conversation they definitely aren’t lacking in the QUALITY!! This will be the last show to close out 2021, but I will see you all in 2022🥳❤️ Happy Holidays xoxo Chey

No need to waste time here, let’s get straight to it!! PRESS PLAY I’m back 🥳🥳🥳🥳

On this episode I was joined by my guys @jjohnson313 @damegonewild @roqcity & @museumofjune to discuss the ladies. Take a minute a think of some of your fav rap songs that feature a WOMAN on it. Whether she held it down with bars or blessed it with some beautiful vocals either way she did what needed to be done to create a classic!! Take a listen and see if some of your favorites were brought into conversation or send me a tweet @motorcityoprah and tell me one you think we may have missed.

What a wonderful way to welcome back VFTT during Black History Month with one of our most memorial moments in Black Reality TV history !! I am joined by none other than Carmen from my favorite and (yours) episode of MTV Catfish!! If that name doesn’t ring a bell maybe hearing “the Tony voice” will trigger your memory !! Take a listen things got JUICY when the cameras stopped rolling and I’m sure some of the questions you had so did I .... and we got answers !! Xoxo — Chey

WELCOME TO MARCH MILFNESS!!!!

It's March .... & more importantly it's my birthday month (3/14)!!!!

On this very special episode I am joined by some of the usual suspects my bff @italk_shxt -- @hey_virg of Unsavory Antics Podcast @jjohnson313 of #Shoptalkpodcast & This Week In Culture anddddd a very special someone(listen to find out) ;)

Together we all ran down the list of 30 different music topics (which was technically a 30 day challenge)that I found yearssss ago over the course of 2 hours!! YES you're in for a treat this episode is 2 WHOLE HOURS. I know the last one was a bit of a quickie so i had to make it up to you guys!!

the questions range from:

"A Song that motivates you to a Song that reminds you of someone you'd rather forget" Nevertheless each question gave us some very "interesting" stories that you don't wanna hear.

Starting with the "Chey5" topic of:

"5 of your favorite songs from your fav artist"

BTW excuse us because wine was definitely circulating in the studio during recording.

follow us all @hey_virg @jjohnson313 @italk_shxt @motorcityoprah

Did Ya Miss Me?? -- heck, i missed MYSELF :(

I had to come back strong and this is a VERY special episode this week with none other than my guy "Bigg Von" super producer, manager, actor and CEO of "We Got Hits" Production. We got a chance to touch on a few of the many things he has his hands in including his team's contributions on Ice Cube's latest album "Everythangs Corrupt." With a pretty diverse and solid resume of artists he's worked with I had to inquire about his experiences with collaborating his sound with other artists. & of course hear his thoughts of the current state of rap/hip hop today vs back then.

Now if you're following @iambiggvon you also know that he is always delivering powerful positive words of encouragement any chance he gets. To kick off this episode I asked him to speak on the 5 things he practices everyday which are:

-Prayer

-Faith

-Dedication

-Persistency

-Consistency

On this episode I was joined by the Eastside Don Dada "Willie Beamen" to discuss:

"Holiday's w/ Bae".

"Would you allow your significant other's BM/BD stay the night to wake up with the kids for Christmas morning?!"

"Best/Worst holiday experience w/ a significant other"

"Appropriate time frame to exchange gifts (or not) with a new boo??

HOWEVER we absolutely had to take a deep dive into his classic story of how one of his old situations "missed her blessing" lmaoooo

Hey Gang!!

On this episode i got a chance to sit down with Huey Freshman, Ali & JRU of DopeDiv.

I hit them with a slightly different #Chey5 of "If you had to add 2 more established artists to your group, who would it be??" they all had very UNIQUE answers lol

In this interview, we had a chance to discuss:

how they came about & what makes them work as a group and keeps them together.

What was it that made you realize music was "it" for you??

Opening for Dom Kennedy

Squeezed Cheese vs Sliced

& most importantly breakdown their latest project "Coney Run" now available everywhere. This episode's intro is actually my favorite track "Champions". This whole project is so smooth start to finish and makes you just wanna hop in the car & cruise around. I'm telling y'all go listen to this you absolutely will NOT be disappointed.

Follow the guys of @itsdopediv -- @dopediv_huey @dopediv_ali @dopediv_jru & download their newest project "Coney Run" available everywhere NOW.
