Welcome back to Top Billin'. This week we explore a topic that often gets overlooked but affects most families in different ways: mental health. This week our guest and founder of “Walk Good LA,” Etienne Maurice, delves into his personal journey with getting shot, vulnerability, asking for help, and the power of healing through yoga. However, this episode goes beyond personal stories. We delve into the impacts of racial injustice, trauma, and gun violence, and the formation of Ettienne's organization” Walk Good LA” “Walking good" is a Jamaican euphemism for taking care of yourself and being good to yourself. This expression is a reminder to prioritize self-care, nurture our own well-being, and connect to something that is bigger than yourself. Divine order, connection, and alignment seem to play a significant role in this journey. From Etienne's billboard placement, to a collaboration with Propel Water, and support from Michael B. Jordan, it's clear that something greater is at work.

Grammy AND Academy-Award winning singer and songwriter Tiara Thomas has got to be one of the coolest, most swaggiest chicks in the game… we welcomed her to TOP BILLIN' to not only give her flowers but learn how her talent blossomed into the career we see today. Her versatility as a songwriter has placed her in many rooms… from being a major collaborator with H.E.R., with whom she won a Grammy, working with Lucky Daye, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, Fat Joe, and many others. As an artist she was featured on Wale's “Bad” and she accounts how that relationship unfolded and why the song's release featured a newly recorded Rihanna, instead of herself – a moment that actually became a much bigger ble$$ing. Tiara is a true artist, completely dedicated to her craft and moves graciously in her element. Expect to hear new music from her very soon… Y'all better get real familiar! —-------Executive Producers for Breakbeat: Dave Mays & Brett JeffriesExecutive Producers: Bill Bellamy & Barry KatzProduction: TRDMRKD ProductionsRecorded: DASH Radio, Hollywood, CAIG: @BreakbeatMedia @BillBellamyComment, like and subscribe on the Breakbeat Media YouTube channel, subscribe on Apple, Spotify or wherever podcasts are available, and visit us at www.breakbeatmedia.com

My brother, fellow New Jersey native TK Kirkland, is in the MFn building! We talk about his business dealings with Eazy E, going toe-to-toe with Jamie Foxx, and how one of his hustles from back in the day got him blackballed from Def Comedy Jam. Nevertheless, his mouthpiece floated him right to success! TK is one of a kind, his work ethic is top notch, and he's a massive snuggler. This one will leave you in tears!

The bond we share in comedy is deep, and the stories are nothing short of entertaining!
