We are at the end of the pod-a-thon, and I had to close out with a very special guest. It’s a first for us both! Her first interview, and my first time interviewing a professional dancer.

I have Kenny Dearie in the stu! I met her at a BRUHmove fashion show in 2019, right before she started to perform. I instantly became a fan. We talk all things dancing, where it began, the feedback and what she wants to ultimately get out of it.

We talk about her becoming an instructor, wanting to teach other people to be comfortable with their passion. Then we talk about Drake. I hate drake, as you all know, but Kenny aspires to be in one of his music videos, and I wish her well. Make sure to tap in, book her for events, and always be respectful!

Unfortunately this pod-a-thon for December is almost over, but we can’t let the dark days come without some light! Ash and I are joined by upcoming artist Beyond Sonny!

We talk about personal life, how the pandemic has effected the growth in his career and why we’ve been waiting so long for more music since his debut project. We also talk about his very innovative verses series where he freestyles over a wide range of known instrumentals. Sonny gives us an insight to the type of people he aligns himself with, what plans are to come as far as new projects/music and we definitely tap into his latest single “Imagine” streaming everywhere.

This couldn’t be done without my guy Josh, who’s a mutual friend to us both, so big love to him and catch him on twitch, amazing gamer: https://twitch.tv/gershua

Keeping the pod-a-thon going for December, Ash and I are joined by a very special guest.

Flatbush’s very own, HighGrades.

Today is a special day because not only do we get to run down the career of HighGrades, he and I get to finally settle some long extended differences.

We talk all things music, how his personal lifestyle, and love for certain things like anime, correlate to the art. Him being featured on Rolling Stone, having some of the best feature verses, projects to come and inspiration on his sound.

The discussion also takes a turn into highlighting women as a factor in the rap game, how HighGrades tackles doubt and the daily hustle, and much more!
