WE BACK! Xavier, Jay, & Alana return to discuss the impact of DMX on their lives, Xavier's Tiny Desk experience, as well as each of their favorite Tiny Desk performances so far. 

The trio is back to discuss the heart of Xavier's song 'All Our Time'.  Alana tells us a memory with her friends from her 21st birthday (and yes, it includes alcohol), Jay explains his friendship tiers, and Xavier reveals his unpopular approach to UNO. 

Focusing in on Xavier's song 'Protect', the trio ask and answer the question 'What does it mean to protect your relationship?", the role that social media and love languages play, and Xavier tells the story of the time he did not protect his relationship. 

In this episode, the trio sit with Xavier's life long best friend and current Motown Recording artist, ELHAE (pronounced L-A) . They discuss what it was like growing up together while chasing the same dream, the challenges ELHAE faced on with his previous record label, and the random legend of the town that Xavier and ELHAE grew up in, Warner Robins. 

The trio discusses Xavier's song Bon Iverre from the album 'if You Feel'.  Xavier discusses the making of the song and how the reality of 2020 is just now hitting him, Alana discusses how she deals with sadness and being more empathetic toward others, and Jay gives gems on the combination of pain and patience. 

This week we welcome musician, singer, and songwriter Mac Ayres as he stops by to talk about the ins and outs of his new album Magic 8 Ball.  We also find out a quote from Xavier that stuck with Mac, Mac's first musical memory of being excited, and who he freaked out over when he met them. 

Happy New Year! In the first episode of 2021, Xavier welcomes his long time friend Alana as a guest co-host, along with Jay to talk about Xavier's song 'FIND ME.' Alana uncovers a new POV to listen to the song from, Xavier tells a regretful VanJess story, and Jay tells us whether or not he's ever felt confident in someone else's love for him. 

In this (short) final episode of 2020 Jay tell us that he quit his job with the intent to reach some goals in the new year. Xavier relates by telling the story of quitting his job to pursue music full time, 3 specific prophecies he was given, and the fear that comes with chasing a dream. 

Masego stops by and talks about his new EP 'Studying Abroad', shares a J. Cole story, and Xavier tells us what Masego song he was supposed to be on but stupidly did not do. 

On today's episode, Xavier and Jay discuss  'Something Changed' from Xavier's newest album 'if You Feel', how a break up from 2014 effected the song, and honestly, a lot about Jesus.
