The guys discuss Lucki signing to Interscope, Jay-Z's freestyle at The Roots' picnic, Complex's list of the 50 greatest New York City rappers, Fatt Smaxk and Bally Baby restoring the feeling in Atlanta, Max B claiming he's more influential than Big Daddy Kane and more.

Shavaun Scott doesn't start where most people start with this case. She starts in a closet in Houston — where a homeschooled teenager with no peer socialization and no music in the house except gospel was recording tracks that would reach millions. She works forward from there because the forensic psychology question isn't what allegedly happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez. It's what allegedly made the person prosecutors say is responsible.Scott has more than thirty years in forensic mental health. She traces every system that allegedly failed along the way. The household was restrictive — mother as teacher, as social world, as the only consistent adult presence. The only music allowed was gospel until Burke was thirteen. Then the internet arrived with no intermediary. By seventeen, Burke was signed to Darkroom and Interscope. Touring globally. Opening for SZA. Making real money. Still a teenager whose brain was still developing.The people around him were apparently not there to parent. They were there to keep the revenue moving. His mother reportedly managed his business finances. The entourage was built around commerce. Nobody was apparently checking whether anyone was watching — because watching wasn't the job description.Scott examines what that trajectory allegedly does to a developing mind. Total restriction followed by total access. No peer socialization during the years when emotional regulation typically forms. Sudden wealth without emotional infrastructure. Power without accountability. She explains why forensic psychologists have studied this exact pattern and what it allegedly produces when every safeguard is absent.Prosecutors allege Burke killed fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez to protect his career. He has pleaded not guilty. This conversation isn't about the charges. It's about the conditions that allegedly preceded them — and every adult, institution, and industry that was allegedly in the room and reportedly did nothing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A Fênix de Oakland "Saudações, garimpeiros e colecionadores de histórias. Você está no Garimpando Bolachas, e hoje a nossa escavação nos levou a um dos personagens mais fascinantes da música contemporânea. No episódio 62, vamos abrir os arquivos de um homem que viveu três vidas em uma única jornada.Estamos falando de Fantastic Negrito." "Para entender o som que sai dos alto-falantes hoje, precisamos voltar para 1968. Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz nasceu em Massachusetts, o oitavo de 15 filhos em uma família muçulmana ortodoxa de origem somali. Aos 12 anos, ele foi jogado no caldeirão cultural de Oakland, Califórnia. E foi ali, entre o tráfico de drogas, o perigo das ruas e a efervescência do funk e soul, que ele aprendeu sua primeira lição: a sobrevivência." "Xavier era um prodígio. Ele invadia as salas de música da UC Berkeley para praticar piano sem ser aluno. E esse talento bruto chamou a atenção da indústria. Em meados dos anos 90, ele assinou um contrato lendário de um milhão de dólares com a Interscope Records, sob o nome artístico de Xavier. Ele tinha tudo: o dinheiro, o visual, o apoio da gravadora. Em 1996, lançou The X Factor. Mas o disco era polido demais, comercial demais. Não tinha a 'sujeira' da alma dele. O álbum fracassou, a gravadora o abandonou e ele se viu perdidono limbo da indústria fonográfica.""Mas o pior ainda estava por vir. Em 1999, um acidente de carro devastador quase o tirou deste mundo. Xavier ficou em coma por três semanas. Seus órgãos falharam.Seus músculos foram destruídos. Sua mão direita, a mão da guitarra, ficou permanentemente danificada. Ele desistiu da música. Vendeu tudo. Mudou-se para uma fazenda e jurou que nunca mais subiria num palco. Durante anos, foi apenas um pai de família e um fazendeiro em Oakland." "Mas o 'garimpo' da vida é imprevisível. O nascimento de seu filho Kyu mudou tudo. Ao tentar tocar uma nota simples para ninar o pequeno, sentiu o chamado novamente.Mas agora, ele não queria o milhão de dólares da Interscope. Ele queria a verdade.Ele adotou o nome Fantastic Negrito. O 'Fantastic' veio da vontade de criar algo maior que a vida, e o 'Negrito' foi uma homenagem à 'música de raiz negra' que construiu o mundo. Ele foi para as ruas. Começou a tocar em estações de trem,onde ninguém se importava com quem ele era. Ali, ele redescobriu o blues — não o blues de museu, mas o blues do trabalhador, da dor e da superação, principalmente o novo blues."É considerado o mais criativo e inovador bluesman da atualidade. "Em 2015, ele venceu o concurso Tiny Desk Concert da NPR entre milhares de inscritos. O mundo finalmente ouviu o que Oakland já sabia. O que se seguiu foi uma das maiores sequências da história da música: três prêmios Grammy consecutivos de Melhor Álbum de Blues Contemporâneo.The Last Days of Oakland (2016)Please Don't Be Dead (2018)Have You Lost Your Mind Yet? (2020) Fantastic Negrito provou que o blues não é um gênero antigo, mas um estado de espírito. Ele mistura o punk, o funk de Prince, o rock de Led Zeppelin e o Delta Blues de Robert Johnson em uma maçarica sonora que queima qualquer rótulo."

¿Qué se siente al crecer bajo la sombra de uno de los apellidos más importantes de la historia de la música? En este episodio celebramos el 30º aniversario de un disco que marcó el sonido de los 90: Bringing Down the Horse. Exploramos la trayectoria de Jakob Dylan, un artista que, lejos de apoyarse en el legado de su padre, decidió forjar su propio camino desde los clubes de Los Ángeles. Desde sus inicios como The Apples hasta la consolidación de The Wallflowers, analizamos cómo la banda logró equilibrar el rock de raíces con el sonido alternativo de la época. En este episodio hablamos de: El peso del apellido: La infancia de Jakob, su relación con la fama y cómo el concierto de The Clash cambió su vida. El camino al éxito: Del debut discreto en 1992 con Virgin Records al fenómeno de ventas que supuso su fichaje por Interscope. La mano de T-Bone Burnett: El papel crucial del productor para encontrar el sonido de hits como One Headlight y 6th Avenue Heartache. Curiosidades y Legado: El misterio de la bandera de Perú en su portada, su paso por la banda sonora de Godzilla con la versión de "Heroes" de Bowie y el impacto de un disco que vendió más de 6 millones de copias. + info - https://linktr.ee/b90podcast Espacio patrocinado por: Fran Cordero Cañas - Jose Manuel Valera - Ricardo Pereira - Barullo - Unai Elordui - JulMorGon - David Salamanca Sanz - Jaime Marchica Band - Sr.Jota - Theinvisibleband - jorge - Llorx Miller - Yago Llopis - chalsontheroute - boldano - estebansantosjuanesbosch - Vicent Martin - Matias Ruiz Molina - Próxima Estación Okinawa - Rosa Rivas - Achtungivoox - jvcliment - Jaume Solivelles - Javier Alcalde - jmgomez - Ana Isabel Miguélez Domínguez - Iñigo Albizu - Rachael - Power42 - Naïa - Dani GO - Jaime Cruz Flórez - DOMINGO SANTABÁRBARA - faeminoandtired - Ivan Castro - Javi Portas - Belén Vaca - Ana FM - tueresgeorge - Eduardo Mayordomo Muñoz - Barrax de Pump - pdr_rmn - fernando - QUIROGEA Integrative Osteopath - J.

Petit poisson deviendra... pinnipède ! Après une série dédiée aux manchots, nous partons à la rencontre de ces mammifères marins moustachus et aux pattes en forme de pagaie, à nouveau en compagnie de Mathilde Chevallay.Mathilde est docteure en biologie marine, vulgarisatrice scientifique et photographe animalière. Spécialiste des comportements de prédation des Otaries à fourrure, des Éléphants de mer du Sud et des Manchots royaux, elle a pu les rencontrer au sein d'immenses colonies lors d'expéditions menées aux Îles Kerguelen, juste au dessus de l'Antarctique.Focus aujourd'hui sur un autre sujet au sujet des Pinnipèdes presque aussi passionnant que la nourriture : la reproduction et les bébés !La saison des amours chez les phoques, otaries et morses varie fortement selon les espèces : certaines sont monogames tandis que d'autres vivent en harem, certains mâles draguent les femelles en paradant devant elles tandis que d'autres se les chamaillent à coup de dents et corps contre corps lors d'affrontements spectaculaires (c'est le cas notamment des Éléphants de mer).Le soin aux jeunes est également extrêmement varié : chez les Éléphants de mer et les otaries, qui vivent en colonie, les petits se rassemblent dans des sortes de crèches et passent leur temps à jouer ensemble quand ils ne se goinfrent pas du lait de leur maman. De l'autre côté, les dames phoques restantes et les dames morses élèvent leur nourrisson seule, avec un temps de biberonnage très inégal encore une fois entre les différentes espèces : si les Morses allaitent pendant 2 ans (!), les Phoques à capuchon sèvrent et abandonnent ainsi leur bébé au bout de... 4 jours.___

As the case of the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez moves forward, the main focus of the investigation, Interscope recording artist D4VD, is not under arrest. But one of his closest friends is.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! Last week, Ghana lost another living legend, the first lady of the 4th Republic, Madam Nana Konadu Ageyman Rawlings. As we mourn this loss, I can't help but to take note of how 2025 has been a year punctuated with transitions of many of Ghana's cultural icons as well as civic leaders--all passionate about not only their crafts but forward movement, Ghana's progress. I invited my guest this week to join me in conversation particularly because of way that her craft, her passion and her lineage converge in a story that is and will continue to make an impact on arts, culture and economic development in Ghana and beyond. Ghanaian- American, Aretha Amma Sarfo-Kantanka is an accomplished global branding professional who has been instrumental in driving retail sales via innovative retail marketing and branding campaigns juxtaposing the fashion and music industry. In 1998, Aretha launched VISIONS Entertainment & Publicity in New York City with a client roster inclusive of: fashion brands, designers, actors, artists, publications and more. She has created and managed numerous cross-promotional marketing and branding campaigns, from concept to execution, for record labels such as: Interscope, DreamWorks, Sony/Columbia, Island/Def Jam, Arista and Atlantic Records. A decade later in 2008 she founded Global Fusion Productions Inc. promoting African culture, tourism, entertainment and news. Aretha has served as the liaison and connector for local and global businesses looking to target the vast and underserved global African market with events and projects including being a member of the team who brought Ghanaian icon, living legend and Glocal Citizen James Barnor's photography for exhibition in Ghana for the first time in 2012. Aretha also served as coordinator and panelist for the launch of Fashion Forum Africa's talk series on the business of fashion in Africa. Aretha has written for publications such as: New York based Applause Africa, MIA Magazine and Berlin, Germany based - POP Magazine covering global pop music and culture. In 2023, Aretha curated Culture Curators: Hip Hop 50 at the National Museum of Ghana, the first of its kind exhibition at the museum that celebrated Ghana's Diaspora connection thru music in a series of talks, films and one of a kind memorabilia items and commissioned art, along with bringing A/R technology to the museum for the first time in collaboration with The San Diego African-American Museum of Fine Art. 2024 sets the stage to honor and tell the story of Ghana's unique modern music of Hip Life in celebrating its 30th anniversary so there is much, much more to come for this dynamic diasporan!

Released September 19, 2025, via Interscope, the TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) marks NIN's first Halo 36 catalog entry, blending over 70 minutes of industrial electronica with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's signature sonic ferocity—no orchestra in sight, just "precise and unpleasant" synth waves that redefine cinematic dread. Analytic Dreamz dissects lead single "As Alive as You Need Me to Be," the first official NIN track since 2021's "Isn't Everyone," alongside "Who Wants to Live Forever" and pulsating cues that echo the franchise's evolution from Wendy Carlos's 1982 minimalism to Daft Punk's 2010 arena pulse.He explores how this M-rated sequel's grid-bound narrative of AI awakening and human obsolescence fuels Reznor's dark, human-infused textures—visceral glitches, throbbing basslines, and emotional fractures that humanize the code. Analytic Dreamz analyzes the score's cohesion as a Ghosts I-IV successor, weighing its emotional potency against brevity critiques, and its fit for Jared Leto's Ares invading our world. Does crediting it to Nine Inch Nails elevate it beyond Reznor/Ross commissions, or does the digital sheen risk diluting NIN's raw threat? He probes tour ties via the Peel It Back 2026 run and Future Ruins festival, questioning if this electrifies the multiverse saga.For Tron: Ares soundtrack breakdowns, Nine Inch Nails score reactions, industrial film music analyses, and Reznor Ross updates, this segment is your grid-locked essential.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?—Josh Jones has done a lot of things when it comes to magazines: Editor. Writer. Maker. Custom publisher. Mentor. Evangelist. All of the above. Has Josh helped write a book about hip hop in Mongolia? Yes. Has he sat back and watched Gordon Ramsey mash his face into a sandwich? Indeed. Has he written an instructive how to book that reminds the reader to always lift a box of magazines by bending one's knees? Yes, again. For more than 20 years, Josh has been creating magazines, both for resolutely indie concerns and reasons, but also custom publications for the likes of The North Face, Red Bull, Interscope and Nike. And while he has no illusions about the challenges the industry faces, he's also resolutely optimistic about a world that he loves, so much so that his “field guide to publishing an indie magazine” Just Make Your Magazine is, true to its subhead, the “fastest selling self help book.” OK, I don't know if that's true. It probably isn't if I'm being honest. But still. You speak to him and you become an optimist. And this is not just because, as he says in the book, “indie magazine making has never been more popular.”It's also because, and perhaps caught up in the same optimism, I suggest that it's possible we are over the Print Panic of the mid aughts and the industry, as a whole, is now back on a sustained kind of upswing. That's an idea we're going to explore on the show this season. Because there has to be some things that are right in the world, damnit.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

On today's episode, I talk to musician John Davis. Growing up in Cambridge, MA, John formed The Folk Implosion with Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr.'s Lou Barlow in the early 1990s. Their first album 1994's Take a Look Inside was a brilliant lo-fi pop record, and then a year later, a song of theirs on the Kids soundtrack blew up, and in the diverse atmosphere that had been created in Nirvana's wake, the band was noticed by a number of larger labels. Their third album would be released by Interscope, after which John left the band. As a solo artist, John has released many albums under different names on labels like Shrimper, and just last year, Lou and he got back together to make a new Folk Implosion album. Walk Thru Me was released on Joyful Noise last June, and it is quite wonderful! This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, follow me on Twitter.

Best known for his song "Electric Love" (with nearly 2 BILLION streams on Spotify!), BØRNS took some time off and has now reinvented his sound with a fantastic new EP. PART ONE: Paul and Scott talk about Omnivore Recordings, a new Buck Owens LP, who they wouldn't want to invite over to Songcraft world headquarters, and other random stuff. PART TWO: Our in-depth conversation with BØRNSABOUT BØRNS:Michigan native and Los Angeles based singer-songwriter BØRNS is best known for the platinum-selling single “Electric Love” from his 2015 album Dopamine on Interscope Records. The follow-up album, Blue Madonna, included the singles “Sweet Dreams” and “God Save Our Blood,” featuring Lana Del Rey. After a departure from Interscope and a recording hiatus, he returned with the Suddenly EP in 2023, which marked a sonic shift to a more organic aesthetic. That same year, he and girlfriend Courtney Farren released the Together Together EP. BØRNS' most recent EP is the retro-infused Honeybee, which was released in early 2025.

Eric Valentine's journey into music started with a $50 drum set from a garage sale and drum lessons at age nine. By 12, he was experimenting with home recordings, and by high school, he had a 4-track recorder and was recording local musicians. At 17, he and a friend launched a 16-track studio in a garage, advertising $10 per hour for recording sessions—marking the start of his professional career.His big break came when his band, T-Ride, signed with Hollywood Records under the condition that he produce and engineer their album. Instead of renting an expensive studio, he upgraded their own space, investing in high-end gear. Though the band didn't achieve major success, it led Eric to focus on producing local artists. Over the next few years, he worked with rapper Paris, recorded Joe Satriani, and ultimately helped launch the careers of Smash Mouth and Third Eye Blind. He co-produced Third Eye Blind's debut album and took a DIY approach with Smash Mouth, finishing their album before they even had a deal—leading to their signing with Interscope just days after mastering.With multiple hit records under his belt, Eric relocated from the Bay Area to Los Angeles, closing his legendary “H.O.S.” Studios to establish Barefoot Recording.

Reznor said, "I haven't been paying close attention to what the status of those things are because this is a relatively new development.

They double down on previous things said about her case. Demaris gets vulnerable about a dream she had about Meg, forcing Mal and Rory to call each other about some live show habits. 6ix9ine and Diddy are allegedly in the same correctional facility, and the jokes arise about how prison life would suit each of us.

Calling all CORK BOARD CADRE in Klonny's hour of need. The Zion·ist music cartel has retaliated against PPM for our hard hitting, boom bap exposés of the Diddler - Epstein nexus, removing 8 eps from pod platforms. Please click this link to follow the Patreon and, if you can afford it, please subscribe, so that PPM can survive cont'd suppression & so you can access all of the Diddy Dossiers. I will be unlocking the entire Free Feed over there. Thank you for your support: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping In which SLANK & I unpack the "Tupac family" / estate's appointment of sus white collar criminal defense lawyer Alex Spiro to investigate Diddy's involvement in the Pac assassination & why this feels problematic, why it feels like there's a blatant conflict of interest, and why we're concerned about his hiring hinting at a concerted coverup... They (who exactly, is unclear, at least from publicly available info as best I can tell so far, be it the executor of Pac estate / music exec Tom Whalley or sundry relatives of Tupac unnamed in news pieces) have retained a lawyer who has repped a coterie of powerful individuals in the Diddler's orbit: Mayor Adams, Robert Kraft during his solicitation of prostitution at a happy ending spa scandal, Elon Musk, Jay-Z, etc. Even Mr. Beast, mass mind controller of kiddies everywhere, has just employed his services to preempt the brewing scandal in Beastland. The fact he's currently repping the "Bad Boy" Mayor & former NYPD Captain, ya know, a former employee of the same police dep't containing the COINTEL PRO legacy Rap Intel Unit implicated in numerous plots to target Tupac... The fact he's repping Mayor Adams, the same guy who gifted Puffy the Key to NYC shortly before Diddy's House of Cards began tumbling down, as he contends w/ these federal fraud & bribery charges is the height of irony. On top of it all, Spiro's a former C·I·A fellow, which doesn't bode well considering the way in which the feds are implicated in Pac's clipping. In this ep, we also discuss the rift between Pac's half-sister Sekyiwa Shakur & the present executor of the Tupac estate Tom Whalley, formerly a WB Music head and the man who signed a young Pac to Interscope in the late '80s. The relationship is... litigious, needless to say. Thus some of the curiosity around the appointment of Spiro, the opaqueness of the phrasing "Tupac's family" in news articles regarding it, and whether the estate is at all involved. From what I can tell at a far remove & as someone not particularly versed on the complex back-n-forth between those biz people with a "vested interest" in Pac's legacy who are attempting to profit from it and his living relatives like Sekyiwa in Shakur matriarch Afeni's absence (since 2016), it seems unlikely that Whalley & Sekyiwa would be collabing on this investigation by virtue of Sekyiwa's ongoing legal battle to gain control of the estate, but I could be way wrong there. Either way, we break down why Alex Spiro's sus career puts us on edge & why I'm instinctually concerned about ulterior motives on his part, even if Pac's family have enlisted him in a genuine bid to get to the bottom of who ordered Tupac killed & bring the Diddler's involvement to the light. We also put guns to head & place wagers on our Diddler prognoses: will he survive this ordeal? And much more. SLANK has joined me in the booth, once again, for what is the EIGHTH installment counting in this sweeping boom bap expose of the Diddler trafficking nexus and its Zion-ist and US intel interlocks. Make sure to check out SLANK's music and assiduous research, which you can all find via his Twitter (@DabSquad_Slank) The artwork for this series, the Diddler nexus parapower map, was expertly rendered by noided pod design mastermind & great friend of the show Robert Voyvodic (@rvoy__ on Twitter).

"The fact that these artists are getting their flowers, getting a chance to perform on this stage, these black artists..If it wasn't for Jay-Z, this wouldn't be happening. So how can you come down and criticize this man like that? it's beyond me." Steve Stoute sounds off on the recent Super Bowl Halftime controversry. Steve Stoute is the ultimate American success story. He's worn a lot of hats—author, entrepreneur, ad exec, and most notoriously, a music mogul. For nearly three decades, he's played a pivotal role at some of the biggest music labels from Interscope, Geffen, and Sony, to working with massive names like U2 and Eminem. Ultimately he's helped shape not just hip-hop, but today's music culture as a whole and continues to find ways to bridge the gap with culture, sports, music and global reach. In this episode, in partnership with Fanatics, Stoute takes us on a wild ride through his experiences in music, advertising, and business and how valuing relationships fueled his journey to the top.  We had to start the conversation off and get right to it- With loud buzz around Kendrick Lamar being announced as this year's Super Bowl Half-time Act... controversy continues to swirl around the choice and blame being put towards Jay Z, who is on of Stoute's closest friends and business confidants. Jay, who's been a major part of choosing the NFL's biggest act of the year, is taking heat for selecting Kendrick over the hometown star and fan favorite Lil Wayne to headline New Orleans Super Bowl. Steve is blown away by the negativity towards Jay's choice, confused why people aren't celebrating that Jay has made such strides for culture to be apart of a big event vs making it personal as football and music fans alike are split, and even some big-name artists, like Nicki Minaj, have weighed in with their grievances. Stoute delves into this topic with Ryan, Fred, and Chan, sharing the inside scoop on how the decision really went down, what he thinks of the backlash, and who was originally asked to perform!  Ryan understands this Super Bowl controversy has caused a lot of backlash and ugliness from different areas of the industry but RC says this isn't nearly the black eye to culture that the continuous fall of P Diddy has stirred up, as more allegations are revealed and Diddy's recent arrest landed him in jail without bail. Knowing Diddy for a long time, the guys ask Stoute to honestly speak to it all, especially the fallout and if he ever saw any signs or this coming…. The conversation shifts to where things are heading with music, sports, culture and owning media rights as well as creation of platforms controlling the space vs the old days where networks and big companies dictated the industry. While Stoute started in an era where artists were burning their own records and signing deals with record labels to get noticed, he speaks to how the landscape has completely shifted. With social media, consumers can find an artist's music without them needing a label-- and he thinks this transition is beneficial. He's all about artists owning their craft and not "selling their souls" to big companies which is what led him to start UnitedMasters, to help creators keep control of their music, name, and likeness. Fred asks him about the recent Dame Dash situation with and how he sees it all playing out. Stoute's family roots and emphasis on relationships has always played a part in his work ethic and drive to make money. Steve breaks down the lessons he learned in the early days of his career and how he was able to navigate big moves, taking chances and never settling for anything less than his goals.  The guys soak up the knowledge from Steve as he breaks down the music industry's inner workings, connect music with sports, providing a front-row seat to the conversations shaping culture and give a better understanding of how key relationships have paved the way for so many to experience a new wave of success at any level.  Learn more about your ad choices.
