Jabee is a rapper from Oklahoma City with a story to tell. Armed with memories of his own experiences filtered through the lens of books by the likes of Huey Newton, Assata Shakur, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jabee's album, "Black Future," is full of socially conscious and introspective songs that bang, a rarity in present day Hip-Hop. He acknowledges the past and the present, but as the album's title suggests, Jabee looks towards the future and inspires the listener to get active and create the desired outcome for oneself and one's community. If our cosign isn't enough, look up what Sway and Public Enemy's Chuck D have to say about the up and coming emcee.

Your name is one of the most important things you will ever have in your life. Potential allies, enemies, employers, and loves interests glean from it a glimpse into your upbringing, culture, and status in society. A name passed down from an influential and wealthy grandfather can open doors without you ever having to lift a finger to turn the knob, while a quote unquote “ethnic” name that originates from a culture of lower standing in the hierarchy of the class, or caste system of society, can close those doors just as quickly. In the world of Hip-Hop, we choose our names carefully, piecing them together from names we acquired from our neighborhoods, attributes that we embody or aspire to become, and role models, whether fictional or nonfictional, that have some quality that appeals to us. Throughout the conversations that we’ve had with various artists in the Hip-Hop world, we’ve gotten to hear the fascinating origin stories of their names. On this episode, we take a look back though our conversations with Stone Mecca, Shawn Setaro, Born King, Joker The Bailbondsman, Cole James Cash, and Gemstones about how they got their names, but before that we have a clip of Channel 10 Podcast co host Singodsuperior explaining his name, a name which I’m sure many of you have probably wondered about. Are someone with an interesting store of how your name came to be? Call us and leave a message with your story at (443) 885-0997 or email us at channel10podcast@gmail.com, and we may air your story on a future episode of the show.

Tristan Art is the quintessential young black entrepreneur. From humble beginnings graduating high school and working in factories in the small South Carolina town of Anderson, to seeing success and losing it all promoting parties in Charleston, to starting over in Baltimore and creating a foundation for lasting success, all by the age of 24, Tristan’s story is inspirational.

Joker The Bailbondsman is a pioneer in Alaskan Hip-Hop. The Anchorage, AK native put his state on his back and has dropped many albums which are now considered coveted rarities and collectible items (on this episode he learns how much some of his projects are going for on eBay!). Through his work ethic, Joker made a name for himself nationally using every pre-internet resource available, which was difficult to do coming from a place that is rarely considered when it comes to having a vibrant Hip-Hop scene. Joker is best known for his videos which were featured on BET Uncut, his features with top rappers such as Bizzy Bone and Freeway, and his news-making street exploits which landed him in prison with a lengthy sentence. In this episode, Joker The Bailbondsman details his upbringing and how he got into music, life in Anchorage and Alaska as a whole, where his name came from, how he made everything happen, and how he used his time being incarcerated to better himself and come back stronger than ever. He drops some gems in this episode that you can apply to your own grind, which makes this episode another must listen. Please favorite, subscribe, and comment on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher.

He's the Hip-Hop anti-hero; far from squeaky clean and you never quite know what he's going to do next, but when he shows up with his unconventional flair, you're glad he's there. The enigmatic, masked producer doesn't just put out beat tapes and send beats to rappers, he puts out full thematic bodies of work (such as "Eternal Punishment", "Saigon", and "BBW A Pornographic Opera") and provides emcees with the guidance to sound their best and bring his concepts to life. We speak with Cole James Cash about his upbringing, his musical style and tastes, his previous projects, artists that he's working with, his upcoming Street Fighter themed "Street Champion" project, and so much more.
