Last summer, I went to BAMS Fest in Boston, ran into one of the most prominent artists in the Boston music scene and told him I wanted to get him on the pod. Over six months later, we both happened to be in LA and made that a reality. Echezona is a Nigerian American Afrobeats and Hiphop artists hailing from Dorchester with his sights set on going global. Our conversation is full of insights into his foundations as an artist, the evolution of his sound, and a peak into his upcoming album, Enyi.

Happy New Year everyone! As we step into 2025 I thought it was only appropriate to bring my guys back on the pod to discuss what we're looking forward to in the new year and things we learned from last year. This also just so happens to be my 50th episode, so I appreciate everyone who's been tuning in so far, there's so much more to come.

Adolescence is a challenging time in life for everyone, but coming of age in an environment where you feel you aren't welcome but can't leave is a whole different beast. From seventh through twelfth grade, I, along with my close friends Tchorzky and Benjy, attended a private, all boys Catholic school where the student population was over 80% white. This racial composition forced us to navigate some complicated dynamics and in this episode, we reflect on how being placed in such a position affected our development as young men.

Boston is known for a lot of things, a thriving creative scene isn't necessarily one of them. This is not to say that it doesn't exist, it's just not as prominent as the creative scenes in other cities around the country. As I hope to bring light to this community through my podcast, it's been an honor to be able to connect with someone like The Poetic Artiste who strives to have a similar impact through her paintings, poetry, and art shows. In this episode, her second appearance on the show, we discuss her most recent line of paintings, her creative process, and her upcoming art show, Voices & Visions, which will be taking place on Friday, November 22.

2024 has been an interesting year in hiphop: we saw the two biggest artists of the last decade go at it head to head while the rest of the genre seems to be stalling out. Though I'm only 25, I've been emotionally invested in hiphop for the better part of 20 years and I am quite concerned about the place it's in, but my friend Julian thinks I'm overreacting. Check out the full conversation and let me know where you stand.

At the ripe age of 25, I am now considered an old head by anyone younger than me. Given the fact that many of the conversations I have for this podcast revolve around the experiences of being a young adult, I decided that I would examine the thoughts of my 20 year old cousin, Naomi, who is entering her third year in college. We touched on the business venture she is launching aimed at bringing hair care items to college campuses, voting and the upcoming election, as well as her intention to be engaged by graduation despite her insistence that she does not entertain men 😂.

As a certified chatter, I love to use my social media to incite conversations. Recently, my friend Gianna and I have had a number of spirited discussions via Instagram dms to the point that she felt like she needed to come on the pod to express herself... except she showed up not knowing what it is she wanted to say so I had to carry the conversation as usual 🙄. Join us in our exploration of the age old gender & relationship topics that have the internet in a chokehold.

I cannot stress the importance of having friends who value the same things you do, because it is through a mutual friend who is a musician herself that I met this episode's guest, Tiril Jackson. Tiril is a singer, songwriter, and producer hailing from Norway and is currently enrolled at Berklee College of Music. We spent much of this conversation discussing her development as an artist while also touching on some of the notable storylines from the mainstream music industry.

One thing y'all need to know about me: I LOVE music. Though we cover a wide range of topics and speak with all kinds of people on this podcast, the episodes where I'm able to interview musical artists will always be some of my favorites. For this episode I am joined by Boston R&B artist and songwriter Tamera King, who gives us insights into how she's developed as an artist, her influences, and so much more.
