Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and here is what Peso Pluma has been up to in the past few days, with an eye on what truly matters for his long term story.The headline is simple and huge. Mexican superstar Peso Pluma is about to drop a joint album with corrido hitmaker Tito Double P titled Dinastia, scheduled for release December 25 according to Drop The Spotlight and upcoming release rundowns from music industry sites like Tinnitist. The collaborators have just unveiled the full tracklist, and coverage is already framing Dinastia as a year ending bomb that could redefine the corridos tumbados power structure going into 2026. This is not gossip this is career canon. A major collaborative project between two of the most streamed names in musica mexicana signals that Peso Pluma is doubling down on the genre he helped globalize rather than abandoning it for pure pop.On the live front, LAist reports that earlier this week he sold out two consecutive nights at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, with fans traveling from across California and beyond and treating the shows like a cultural coronation. The coverage emphasizes how his music cuts across generations and how Mexican and Mexican American fans see him as a flag bearer capable of selling out major U.S. venues back to back. That kind of box office and symbolism will be remembered on his résumé long after weekly chart moves fade.In the background of these new wins is a year of intense scrutiny. Outlets like AOL previously chronicled the breakup drama with Nicki Nicole after he was photographed holding hands with another woman at the 2024 Super Bowl, and U.S. press covered his decision to cancel multiple North American dates in cities like Oklahoma City and Tulsa over safety concerns following cartel linked threats. Those stories are not new this week, but they continue to shape every mention of his name as Dinastia approaches, framing him as a star navigating both massive demand and real world danger.On social media, music blogs and style sites are still recycling his now established 2025 haircut as a talking point, but that is minor color next to a sold out LA stand and a blockbuster joint album roll out. Speculation that Dinastia will break streaming records is just that speculation but the setup is undeniable.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.According to LAist, earlier this week I lit up SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, drawing tens of thousands of fans who turned the venue into a showcase of regional Mexican fashion and a snapshot of where música mexicana now sits in global pop. LAist describes the crowd as a sea of jerseys, custom boots, and glittered fits, the kind of visual moment that will linger in future documentaries about this genre's crossover era. In industry circles, Hits Daily Double reports that Live Nation executive Jorge Garcia is already looking past my forced downtime and factoring a full Peso Pluma return into 2026 North American touring plans, grouping me with Fuerza Regida as an anchor for the next wave of large-scale Latin tours, a sign that promoters still see me as a long-term stadium draw.Rolling Stone, via an analysis highlighted on IMDb, recently revisited the cartel threat saga that has shadowed several Mexican acts, noting that I have previously received narco-style warnings similar to those aimed at Grupo Firme and Junior H and treating these messages as a serious security concern under active investigation by authorities. Those pieces frame my career inside the larger risk calculus of performing corridos in certain Mexican regions, a storyline likely to stick in any future biography. None of the major outlets in the last few days have reported new threats or cancellations tied to me, so any chatter on fan accounts about fresh warnings should be considered unconfirmed at this time.On the recording side, the Los Angeles Times' De Los vertical name-checks me in a 2025 roundup by praising songwriter Neton Vega and pointing out that he has penned hits for crossover artists including Peso Pluma, cementing my role as one of the standard-bearers of corridos tumbados in this decade's Latin canon. Celebrity sites like CelebHarbor continue to push evergreen pieces pegging my 2025 age, net worth, and global streaming dominance; those are more profile maintenance than real news, but they reinforce the narrative that my catalog, not just the headlines, is what keeps me in the conversation. Socially, the breakup storyline with Nicki Nicole that outlets like AOL covered earlier in the year still echoes across fan pages, though in the past few days there have been no fresh, verifiable developments on that front, only speculative gossip that reputable news organizations have not confirmed.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Peso Pluma has been closing out the year in full superstar mode, mixing hard business moves with fan hysteria and a touch of lingering controversy. Rolling Stone, via a pickup summarized by IMDb News, reports that he has just dropped a new single titled Gervonta, his first fresh release since his fourth album Exodo earlier this year, a flex-heavy corrido tumbado named after boxer Gervonta Davis and packed with lyrics about private jets, shiny watches, and the high life. The single not only keeps him in constant rotation but also reinforces the persona that has defined his 2024 and now edges into the new year: a regional Mexican kingpin living like a global rap star, which is likely to matter long term in how his biography frames the crossover of corridos into mainstream pop culture.Onstage, the last few days have underlined that status. LAist reports that he just sold out two nights at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, where fans from across Southern California turned the shows into a full-blown cultural event, calling him everything from the contemporary version of Los Tigres del Norte to the face of a new Mexican pride moment in the U.S. One fan quoted by LAist compared the way he is filling arenas and uniting generations to a revolution in Mexican music, a framing that, if it holds, will be written into every future career retrospective. Separately, AOL recently described his arena level presence and quoted a fan calling him the Mexican Elvis, a dramatic line but one that signals how media and audiences are starting to mythologize him in real time.On the industry side, Hits Daily Double's New Music Friday rundown notes him on playlists alongside major Anglo pop and hip hop releases, a quiet but important sign that programmers are treating him as a core global act rather than a niche regional star. Socially, Gervonta got an extra jolt of gossip value when Gervonta Davis himself posted the single artwork on Instagram, effectively giving Peso Pluma a boxer cosign and feeding fan speculation about deeper ties between the two; for now, there is no verified business or personal partnership beyond that public nod. Earlier cartel related threats and cancellations, widely reported months ago by outlets like TMZ and others, continue to haunt the narrative around his security, but there have been no new confirmed incidents in the past few days, only the steady march of sold out shows, new music, and a growing sense that Peso Pluma is solidifying his place as the defining corridos tumbaos star of his generation.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

What happens when educational leadership is grounded in the wisdom of community, driven by emotion as much as intellect, and unflinchingly committed to equity? This week on Voices for Excellence, Dr. Michael Conner sits down with Dr. Brenda Garcia Castro—assistant principal at Century Community Charter School in Inglewood, California, and adjunct professor at Pepperdine University—for a deeply human and intellectually rigorous conversation that bridges systemic transformation with personal journey.A proud bilingual leader, researcher, immigrant mother, and rising scholar with both an EdD and a PhD in progress, Dr. Garcia Castro offers a visionary blueprint for what it means to lead from love, data, and intentionality all at once. Her groundbreaking conceptual model, the Optimal Partnership for Thriving Integration, reframes how schools engage immigrant families—not as passive recipients of services but as empowered, trusted, and essential collaborators in education.Together, she and Dr. Conner explore how schools can evolve their culture—not just structurally but emotionally—to build durable ecosystems of access, trust, and healing for students and their families. At the center of this journey: authenticity, radical listening, and a commitment to meeting families exactly where they are, while preparing all students, especially Generation Alpha and Beta, for an unknown but exciting future shaped by AI and workforce transformation.What you'll learn from this episode: Bold leadership means leaning into discomfort to serve a greater purpose.  Support for families is system design—not an afterthought.  Immigrant families want access, growth, and connection—so how are we listening? Trust and relationships are the real curriculum of school leadership.  Culture isn't declared—it's co-constructed through presence and modeling. AI + workforce prep begins by demystifying tech and amplifying student voice. Dr. Brenda Garcia Castro reminds us: the future of equitable education is personal, purposeful, and possible—when we meet it with heart and rigor. This episode is a stirring reminder that education systems can, and must, be designed for all to thrive. It's time to redefine success not just by test scores, but by the depth of belonging, access, and opportunity each child experiences.Subscribe and share to continue driving the future of education for all.

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and here is what has defined Peso Pluma's past few days, weighted by long term significance and stripped to what reputable outlets have actually confirmed.According to DropTheSpotlight and industry write ups, the most consequential move is Peso Pluma's formal unveiling of **Dinastia**, a full collaborative album with his cousin Tito Double P, set for release on Christmas Day. The pair dropped a black and white cinematic trailer and the first single, Intro, which reportedly passed one million YouTube views in its first 24 hours, signaling both a commercial event and a deliberate artistic return to his musica mexicana roots alongside family. DropTheSpotlight describes the project as rooted in heritage, duality, and luchador imagery, positioning it as a potential career chapter marker rather than just another release.Fightful reports that the Intro video also brought a crossover sports wrinkle, featuring pro wrestlers Bad Dude Tito and Slice Boogie in a choreographed fight sequence, with the wrestlers themselves posting about the shoot on social media. That keeps Peso Pluma visibly threaded into broader pop culture timelines, from wrestling fandom to viral clip circulation.From a business and metrics standpoint, Hits Daily Double's coverage of Spotify's 2025 Latino wrapup places Peso Pluma among the most streamed Latin artists of the year in Latin America, listed directly behind Bad Bunny, Fuerza Regida, and Rauw Alejandro and alongside Karol G. That cements him not as a fleeting viral act but as a sustained top tier streaming force, a data point likely to echo in future biographies and deal negotiations.Festival wise, Rolling Stone reporting aggregated on IMDb notes that he is booked as a top line name at Baja Beach Fest 2025, sharing a Saturday bill with Shakira and other regional heavyweights. Being positioned as a co headlining attraction at a major cross genre Latin festival underlines his status as a permanent marquee draw.In terms of public narrative and gossip context, earlier this year outlets including Today via AOL highlighted Nicki Nicole hinting at a breakup after Peso Pluma was seen holding hands with another woman during the Super Bowl. Those posts remain in circulation and are still referenced by fans online, but there have been no new, verified developments in that storyline in the last few days; anything beyond that is fan speculation, not confirmed reporting.Meanwhile, coverage of his recent sold out run at YouTube Theater in Inglewood from LAist continues to recirculate on social and fan accounts, reinforcing his image as the face of a generational shift in corridos tumbados and Mexican representation in U.S. arenas, even though those shows themselves are not in the last few days but remain part of the current conversation around him.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The Mexican corridos tumbados superstar kicked things off with a massive success, selling out two consecutive nights at YouTube Theater in Inglewood on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Fans from across Southern California flocked to the venue, with attendees ranging from die-hard longtime supporters to newer converts discovering the genre. The energy was palpable, with concertgoers emphasizing what his rise means for Mexican representation in mainstream American music.However, the celebration was tempered by a significant injury. During his headlining performance at New York's Governors Ball last week, Peso Pluma broke his foot while performing on stage. The injury was serious enough to require surgery, which he underwent immediately following the festival. On Instagram, he provided fans with a reassuring update, posting that the surgery went well and stating he'd be back on stages soon, signing off with his characteristic enthusiasm. Despite the pain, he continued performing that night at Governors Ball, telling the audience he could barely stand but was committed to finishing his set.The injury has already begun impacting his schedule. He has canceled three scheduled performances across Latin America in Peru, Paraguay, and Chile that were planned for the following week after the Governors Ball incident.On a lighter note, there's been renewed speculation about potential reconciliation in the corridos world. At a show in Los Angeles this week, artist Netón Vega brought out both Peso Pluma and JOP as surprise guests, fueling rumors among fans that the artists might be patching things up after previous tensions.Meanwhile, his personal life continues to garner attention. Singer Nicki Nicole, who previously dated Peso Pluma from late 2023 through early 2024, has recently made headlines of her own, debuting as an actress and earning her eighth Latin Grammy nomination for her album "Get On."Despite the foot injury requiring surgery and forced tour cancellations, Peso Pluma's momentum remains undeniable. His album Genesis debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, and his cultural impact continues to reshape how regional Mexican music is perceived in the United States and globally.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has continued his streak as one of the most watched and talked-about figures in music this fall, and this past week alone has delivered both spectacle and substance to his growing legend. LAist reports that earlier this week Peso Pluma performed two completely sold-out nights at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, drawing fans from all over Southern California, including first-timers and die-hards equally thrilled to see the Jalisco-born star up close. The event was a celebration of the crossover appeal of his corridos tumbados and cemented his status as a generational talent whose sound speaks to both tradition and youth culture. Fans interviewed outside suggested the concerts were a source of cultural pride and a clear sign that regional Mexican music has fully erupted into the American mainstream, with Peso described as the new icon representing the Latino experience at the highest levels.On the business side, AOL details how Peso Pluma's upward trajectory continues to impact the industry, with what's being called the “Peso Pluma Effect.” Executives and analysts now point to him as a primary force behind the explosion of regional Mexican music outside its historical audience. The acknowledgment from Variety and music trade publications this week underscores how his influence is causing, as a major headline put it, “the biggest shakeup of Latin genre marketing in decades.”Socially, Peso Pluma dominated L.A. headlines this weekend for a different reason—a playful, community-powered lookalike contest at Echo Park Lake, as covered by LAist's Brian de los Santos. The contest drew around one hundred participants and was a trending moment across local social media, further cementing Peso's current cultural dominance in the city. One winner told reporters she felt “Peso enough” to represent all fans, reflecting the deep community bond the singer inspires.Musically, Peso Pluma ended the week with the surprise release of a new single called Gervonta, named after boxer Gervonta Davis. According to Rolling Stone and IMDB News, the track dropped Thursday evening, marking Peso's first new song since his album Exodo. On Instagram, even Gervonta Davis himself amplified the release by sharing its cover art to his story. Lyrically, the song keeps with Peso's luxury themes, boasting about private jets and shiny watches—a nod to his now-global celebrity status.Though Peso did not win a headline award at last week's Latin Grammy Awards—Bad Bunny took home the top trophies according to the Associated Press—his omnipresence at key events keeps speculation high about future collaborations and possible award sweeps in 2026. There are no major confirmed controversies or scandals at this time. Unconfirmed posts continue to swirl about his love life, particularly regarding his previous breakup with Nicki Nicole, but no new explosive revelations have surfaced in official media the past few days.In all, Peso Pluma remains not just a top musical act but a bona fide cultural mover, blending pop stardom with community roots and shaping Latin music's new trajectory as the year races toward its close.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Fans packed the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles for his sold-out two-night run on Wednesday and Thursday, a splashy affair covered by LAist, where not only the music but the vibrant fan fashion stole the show. Attendees raved about the energy, calling Peso Pluma a phenomenon who's brought the corridos tumbados style from Jalisco to the international mainstream. One lifelong regional Mexican music fan even compared him to icons like Los Tigres del Norte and Ramon Ayala, celebrating how the genre now bridges generations and cultures in the U.S. That kind of crossover wasn't expected until recently, but the crowd at Inglewood proved how Peso Pluma's brand of storytelling connects with fans from East L.A. to Guatemala.Industry insiders and audience members alike noted that his concerts have become a gathering point for the Latino community, giving visibility and pride to Mexican musical roots while appealing to younger listeners who've found corridos more relatable thanks to artists like Peso Pluma. Social media buzzed all week with videos, selfies, and posts from the LA shows, as well as fans sporting custom merchandise and Mexican flags, amplifying the sense that his music isn't just entertainment—it's a movement.The excitement rolled into Thursday night's 2025 Latin Grammy Awards, held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. While Bad Bunny grabbed major headlines by sweeping album of the year and multiple other awards, Peso Pluma's impact was felt through nominations and conversations around the surge in regional Mexican music. News4Jax pointed out that the show spotlighted the genre's transformation, with references to Peso Pluma's influence alongside heavyweight acts like Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera. Although Peso Pluma didn't win the major hardware, his presence in the Latin Grammys—marked by his genre's meteoric rise—definitely sets him up as a mainstay for future awards.Business-wise, the demand for tickets, merch, and streaming continues to surge, with his latest album “Génesis” still charting after its breakaway debut at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. His social accounts have seen a steady flow of engagement this week, sharing clips from LA, fan shoutouts, and hype for future tour stops. Notably, there were no fresh controversies or dramatic gossip stories—no repeat of the infamous handholding at the Super Bowl, which earlier fueled rumors about his personal life and a split with Nicki Nicole, as previously referenced by AOL.All told, Peso Pluma's sold-out LA shows this week and his footprint at the Latin Grammys headline a pivotal period, further solidifying his role as a generational artist whose cultural and commercial momentum shows no sign of letting up.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This week on The Underground Lounge, Lou Williams and Spank Horton welcome Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist, educator, and actor D Smoke into the Lounge for one of the most layered and inspiring conversations yet. Coming straight out of Inglewood, D Smoke opens up about growing up in a musical household led by his gospel-singing mother, who taught him and his brothers the fundamentals of music from an early age. From learning piano at five to earning a full academic scholarship to UCLA, he shares how his foundation in discipline and faith set the tone for everything that came after.D Smoke takes the crew through his early start in the industry, writing for Jaheim at 19, building a home studio with his brothers, and navigating the highs and lows of being young and talented in Los Angeles. He talks about the family legacy that runs deep through his bloodline, including his grandmother's work with legends and the tough choices his mom made between touring with Stevie Wonder and raising her kids.The conversation dives into his time on Netflix's Rhythm + Flow, where his viral exchange with Snoop Dogg and eventual win put him on the global map, and the lessons he learned from that experience about authenticity and preparation. D Smoke also discusses his passion for teaching and how his work as an educator helped him connect to his community beyond music.From mastering Spanish and bringing bilingual storytelling into hip-hop, to finding balance between the streets and spirituality, D Smoke breaks down how duality shaped his artistry and worldview. He also opens up about stepping into acting, from early roles as a teen to his recent work on Mayor of Kingstown, and how storytelling in all forms fuels his purpose.The Lounge closes out with real talk on faith, family, boxing, mentorship, and what it means to lead with integrity in an industry built on perception. It's an episode that celebrates intellect, art, and the grind it takes to rise from Inglewood to international acclaim.

Episode SummaryIn this thought-provoking episode, Todd DeVoe and Dan Scott explore “The Myth of Control”—a concept that challenges one of the most fundamental assumptions in emergency management: that we can control chaos. Drawing from philosophy, leadership theory, and real-world emergency operations, they unpack how the illusion of control shapes decisions, policies, and leadership under pressure.The hosts discuss the paradox that while control provides comfort and structure, it can also lead to rigidity and tunnel vision during crises. They explore the balance between preparedness and adaptability, and how embracing uncertainty can make leaders—and organizations—more resilient.Listeners will leave with a deeper understanding of why humility, trust, and systems thinking are essential for navigating disasters' unpredictable nature.Key Talking Points* What “control” means in emergency management and why it's an illusion.* The difference between command and influence in crisis leadership.* Stoic and philosophical insights on accepting uncertainty and focusing on what can be controlled.* How overconfidence and bureaucratic rigidity undermine effective response.* Real-world examples where flexibility outperformed strict adherence to plans.* Building cultures that prioritize adaptability, learning, and empowerment over control.* Emotional intelligence, trust, and psychological safety are essential in EOC leadership.* Practical strategies for letting go—trusting your team, systems, and training.Quotes to Remember“Control is the myth we tell ourselves to feel safe in the storm.” – Todd DeVoe“In crisis leadership, it's not about controlling every variable—it's about influencing outcomes through people.” – Dan ScottAbout the HostsTodd DeVoe, CEM, is the Editor-in-Chief of the Emergency Management Network and the Emergency Management Coordinator for the City of Inglewood.Dan Scott, CEM, is a regional emergency management leader and co-host of the EMN Podcast, bringing decades of operational experience and mentorship to the discussion.Listen & SubscribeAvailable on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Emergency Management Network Newsletter for leadership insights, policy analysis, and community resilience stories.

The standout addition: “Mother,” a 2020-recorded track originally cut from the 2024 original Chromakopia—Tyler's diary-like exploration of monogamy pressures, fatherhood fears, identity, and introspection. Debuting #1 on Billboard 200 with 299,500 first-week units (platinum-certified), Chromakopia held the top spot for 3 weeks, spawning Hot 100 hits “Noid” (#10), “St. Chroma” feat. Daniel Caesar (#7), and “Sticky” feat. GloRilla, Sexyy Red & Lil Wayne (#10). Tyler calls “Mother” the grounding piece, inspired by 2020 bike rides through Inglewood and maternal conversations redefining “home.” Post-release, he dropped ninth album Don't Tap the Glass (July 2025, another #1) and debuts in Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme alongside Timothée Chalamet. Analytic Dreamz analyzes Tyler's 15-year evolution from Bastard (2009) to career peak, global tour with Lil Yachty & Paris Texas, and creative restlessness.

Shakira's Global Impact: FIFA Partnership, Sold-Out Tours, and Unending Stardom

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Shakira's global stardom has blazed even brighter blending philanthropy art pop sensation and historical homecomings. According to AllHipHop and as widely covered in international news Shakira just joined superstar The Weeknd on the newly launched FIFA Global Citizen Education Board aimed at steering a 100 million dollar campaign to help children access education worldwide—a mission that is as ambitious as her artistic career. This huge initiative announced by FIFA and Global Citizen includes other luminaries like Serena Williams and Ivanka Trump and will leverage their combined platforms to reach 100000 kids in over 200 communities. With more than 350 million children currently out of school Shakira's involvement is being spotlighted as both strategic and deeply personal underscoring her ongoing dedication to social issues which look likely to define her legacy as much as her music.But it's not just in boardrooms and philanthropy where Shakira is making noise. The singer just performed two sold-out concerts in Cali Colombia over the past weekend creating what Spreaker described as a triumphant homecoming moment cheered on by fans and media alike. These concert dates come as part of Shakira's monumental Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour which began earlier this year in Brazil and is already setting records for attendance and gross receipts. Billions in production dollars are reportedly behind this globe-spanning tour which sees Shakira herself calling it the most ambitious of her career with bigger venues added across the Americas to meet overwhelming demand. Adjustments remain par for the course—recent cancellations included Miami and Inglewood due to local protests and San Antonio owing to venue issues—but each time she emerges back on stage to sold-out crowds and standing ovations. Her shows have featured surprise duets with Latin stars like Maluma Ozuna and Alejandro Sanz and this October she drew viral attention on Instagram sharing behind-the-scenes footage from her tour rehearsals clearly signaling her direct involvement in every stage detail.There is more on the horizon—NosEnchanteurs confirms Shakira's November will include three headline concerts in Ecuador lighting up a new swath of South American audiences. Social media has been ablaze with anticipation for these dates especially given her historic return to Colombia and the critical acclaim surrounding her 2024 album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. Pop culture coverage continues to be dominated by Shakira's life on and off stage with her activism concert spectacles and infectious social posts keeping her trending worldwide. Her appearance in FIFA's headline-grabbing campaign and her relentless tour momentum are not just newsworthy events but milestones certain to endure in the story of one of music's most influential icons.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

From the LA Lakers Locker Room to Napa Valley vines: Kelly E. Carter on Diversity, Story, and Wine Exploration

Wine Talks with Paul Kalemkiarian

I can tell you it was like sitting with a long, lost neighbor when sitting with Kelly E. Carter. And in fact, we were neighbors of sorts back in the day. It wasn't until I was searching for images to create the icons for this podcast did I realize I was in the presence of true maverick royalty. Besides being a New York Times best selling author, she has reported from the greatest sporting events of the world: the NBA FInals, Super Bowls, Grand Slams, Stanley Cup Finals and much more. And more intriguing, she was the woman reporter in the locker room! I was so intrigued and we could have spoken for hours because she is the Founder of the wine tourism group, Napa Valley Noir. sitting down with Kelly E. Carter in the studio for this episode of Wine Talks was like taking a stroll down memory lane while simultaneously hitching a ride on a train heading straight for the future of wine tourism. There's something about Kelly—her energy, her wit, and just her knack for storytelling—that gets you thinking about the wine industry in ways that feel both nostalgic and freshly invigorating. We kicked things off with some good old home turf banter—Kelly's Windsor Hills childhood (Ray Charles and Ike & Tina Turner for neighbors, no less) and my own roots in Inglewood. Instantly, there was this shared sense that, before wine stole our hearts, Southern California had given us some pretty unique perspectives on culture and community. And as Kelly pointed out, “you'll never know everything” about winemaking, which is honestly the very reason some of us keep swirling, sipping, and studying. I know I do. What genuinely impressed me was Kelly's trajectory. She was the first female to cover the Lakers—how many people do you meet who set out in fourth grade to be a sports journalist and actually make it happen? She wasn't just content to report on sports. She made her mark, switched lanes into entertainment, and then into luxury travel writing, which eventually led her to Florence and Positano. It's the kind of layered journey you don't hear about every day. You talk to some folks, they've been in wine their whole lives. With Kelly, it's travel, sports, culture—all converging in the glass. We got into the nitty-gritty of wine and travel writing and how AI could never replace the boots-on-the-ground experience. I had to laugh—when Kelly plugged Napa into chatbots, she got recommendations for wineries that are closed for renovations. "You have to know the latest," she said, reminding me that the best wine stories are always written with real shoe leather, not just code. Her insights into Napa Valley tourism were equally compelling. As the founder of Napa Valley Noir, Kelly's passion lies in creating experiences rich in narrative, not just pouring cabs for folks who made it big in tech and want a taste of the valley lifestyle. She's all about partnerships with wineries that have soul, stories, and a genuine connection to their craft—whether it's a historic vineyard run by women or an impromptu meeting with Thomas Keller that leaves guests starstruck. Frankly, I couldn't agree more. The stories make the bottle—and the memories. That's what keeps this business alive, even as the market shifts. Kelly also talked about the recent surge in African American visitors to Napa, thanks in part to celebrity influence (LeBron, Kobe, you name it), and her drive to ensure these visitors experience the full magic Napa has to offer, not just what's on the surface. She's honest—her intake forms ask straight-up about comfort level on bottle prices. She knows how to match guests with the right wineries, sometimes calling in a favor for an extra pour or a charcuterie board, because that's how relationships form and deepen in this business. There's a lesson in Kelly's methods: whether it's a group of corporate execs, first-timers, or veteran collectors, she makes sure the experience is tailored and memorable. Maybe it's the aftermath of her own battles—her candor about beating a rare cancer got me thinking about perspective, gratitude, and the importance of living fully, whether it's raising a glass or hiking through a vineyard. Talking with Kelly reminded me why I started this podcast in the first place. It's the human stories behind the wines, the journeys of the people who bring them to life—and the shared desire to know just a little bit more, one sip, one story at a time. Cheers to Kelly and to all of us still curious.

We talked about what it was like growing up in Inglewood, watching his father go to prison and later come home to be active in his life and his brothers' lives. We spoke about his mother, the late and legendary Jackie Gouché Farris, may she rest in peace, a woman who poured everything into her sons, pushing them to be great, to be grounded, and to never lose sight of who they are. D Smoke is a reflection of that love, that structure, and that discipline. He learned the game, mastered his craft, and built the world he wanted for himself through hard work, consistency, and creativity. His neighborhood didn't break him, it sharpened him. It taught him resilience, focus, and how to turn obstacles into opportunities. This conversation was bigger than music. It was about legacy, leadership, and the power of showing up for yourself and your people. D Smoke represents what it looks like when talent meets purpose and faith meets discipline. Salute to a man who's walking in his calling and proving that greatness starts at home.
