Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. The rhythm of innovation pulses through every moment of our conversation with Houston-based producer and DJ John Lacey. Beginning as a traditional drummer under the guidance of respected jazz musicians, Lacey's musical journey represents the fascinating evolution many modern musicians experience—the dance between acoustic foundations and digital possibilities.Lacey takes us through his transition from acoustic drums to the MPC, explaining how his initial reluctance toward technology eventually blossomed into a distinctive production style. "Being as how I'm such a rhythm-based artist, a lot of the times the rhythm comes first for me," he reveals, sharing insights into his beat-making process that seamlessly blends his drummer's instincts with sample-based production techniques.What truly sets Lacey apart is his revolutionary approach to DJing. Rather than traditional turntables, he performs with MPCs—one controlling DJ software and another for live finger drumming performances. This innovative technique creates shows that are visually captivating and musically complex, offering audiences something far beyond typical DJ sets. As a member of Houston Bass Runners competing in the National Beat Battle Association, Lacey consistently pushes the boundaries of what's possible with digital music tools.Perhaps most refreshing is Lacey's pragmatic approach to his craft. As a father of two young children, he balances artistic passion with financial responsibility, refusing to undervalue his work in an industry where artists are often expected to create for free. "Family is completely and utterly first for me," he emphasizes, reminding listeners that sustainable creativity requires setting boundaries and recognizing your worth.Whether you're a producer looking for technical inspiration, a musician navigating the balance between tradition and technology, or simply someone who appreciates honest conversation about the realities of creative work, this episode delivers genuine insights that will resonate long after the final beat drops. Subscribe now and discover how rhythm, innovation, and family values come together in the world of John Lacey.Support the show

Killer D joins us to share his raw, unfiltered journey from the projects of Louisiana to the competitive Houston music scene.Born with natural artistic talent but initially too shy to showcase it, Killer D reveals how he transformed from writing poetry in closets with egg cartons on the walls to commanding stages with confidence. His story is one of persistent evolution—holding onto a hook for ten years until finding the perfect beat for his club hit "Pop It," which unexpectedly gained radio play across multiple states including Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.The conversation dives deep into the creative process behind making authentic strip club bangers, with Killer D explaining the cultural context that makes his Louisiana-influenced sound distinctive. We explore the crucial difference between being an entertainer versus a performer, witnessing firsthand his ability to captivate audiences even when performing acapella. His practical approach to reading crowds before determining setlists demonstrates the adaptability essential for lasting success.Perhaps most valuable are Killer D's unvarnished insights into industry relationships. From the importance of proper collaboration paperwork to navigating local gatekeeping, he shares wisdom earned through both success and setbacks. "Artists need DJs," he emphasizes, detailing how building relationships with everyone from club owners to waitstaff creates the network necessary for independent advancement. His experiences highlight how regional scenes can simultaneously support and limit emerging artists.Ready to hear what authentic music hustle sounds like?

Got a chance to sit down with my man Lance Scott Walker for this episode. Lance and I go way back in the scene in Houston but really connected when he and Peter Beste started working on the Houston Rap book and what would later become two editions of Houston Rap Tapes. I love Lance's style because he lets his subjects talk and tell the story themselves. Telling the story of Houston rap is no mean feat, there are so many versions and such, and telling the story of DJ Screw is one hell of a challenge. The man Lance took that challenge and is delivering what is about to be the definitive story of DJ Screw. Tune in to this episode to hear all about his journey writing both books and listen as we go back even further to the days of the Axiom and such. It really goes down!
