This week on episode 309 I was able to tap in with an artist I've recently been gravitating towards and that is Chicago native The Last Maven. As a fan of his sound and consistency alike I was thrilled when he agreed to this interview and it was a great conversation full of hidden gems for artists looking to build a solid foundation and plan for growth. We discussed his early works such as 2013's “Love-lathan”, his connection to Lupe Fiasco and Mickey Factz, and the ways he has improved his craft in both writing and lyrical delivery. He told me about his move back to Chicago which has allowed him to connect with individuals like Ro Moore while building a lengthy run of single releases over the past year and change. A big point he shared on this one was his goals to use the current music to help elevate him and expand his reach in order to help support and fund his future projects. This goal to see continued growth also applies to other exciting endeavors that will be amazing to see unfold for The Last Maven real soon. I thank him for taking the time to stop by and am looking forward to continuing following his journey from here on out!Consider donating to the show via our Ko-Fi profile here

It is a privilege to welcome Chicago-born producer, rapper, singer, and songwriter Vi City to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  He got his start at the Midwest city's storied Wild Hundreds, a proving ground that shaped his raw, reflective sound and entrepreneurial mindset. Blending lived truth with elevated ambition, Vi's music captures both the weight of his origins and the clarity of an artist who built his own lane.   Vi City's catalog has quietly amassed significant independent momentum. His latest project has generated over 2.8 million streams, with singles charting number 21 on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart, while his breakout record “U Deserve” peaked at number 55 on the iTunes R&B chart. His audience continues to expand globally, now reaching 97K monthly Spotify listeners, over 7 million YouTube views, and over 228K Instagram followers.  He first entered the industry working with Mathaus Ent. and Chilly of 1st & 15th (Lupe Fiasco), before partnering with DJ Skee to release a mixtape through Skeeters TV. He later co-penned Nelly's “Country N*** Fly (CNF)” and secured a publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group.  As a writer, producer, and collaborator, Vi has worked across hip-hop's mainstream and underground, including writing and featuring on Sir Michael Rocks ft. Twista's “Some Ish” from the number one debut album Banco, and collaborating with hitmaking duo Da Internz (Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, and Nas). His music has also been featured on FOX's hit series Empire and HBO's Entourage. Recent collaborations include Moneybagg Yo, Tee Grizzley, and Lil Poppa, further cementing his relevance across generations of hip-hop.Beyond his own artistry, Vi City is the founder of Hundreds Entertainment, a music and film production company dedicated to developing emerging talent and expanding independent creative ownership. On the latest episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Vi City shared Hundreds Entertainment's origin story, his reaction when Empire and Entourage inserted his music into their shows, and some of the stories behind his most-streamed Spotify songs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Send a textLove shows up in candy aisles, awkward expectations, and the checkout line—with a side of sticker shock—so we dig into the real question: do you still buy Valentines for your kids, even when they're grown? Our table splits, and that sparks a bigger conversation about what Valentine's Day really measures: affection, effort, or how well you dodge commercialization without sounding like a grinch. We talk thoughtful ideas that land, gifts that flop, and why recycled intimacy doesn't count as a present.The ride swerves into real life: Girl Scouts turned tap-to-pay pros, Walmart locking up basics, and fundraiser candy that shrank while prices climbed. Then we jump from aisles to arenas with a brush-by of Lady Gaga's team and a peek at the machine behind major tours—sealed phones, tight rehearsal windows, and camera crews moonlighting from the Super Bowl and Taylor Swift's juggernaut. We stack ticket prices across Gaga, WrestleMania, and smaller venues like Lupe Fiasco's anniversary show to find the sweet spot between spectacle and sanity. Pro tip: presales and intimate rooms often deliver bigger memories than nosebleeds at eight times the price.Because culture is also under the hood, we clash over EV trucks vs gas—range anxiety vs torque joy, generators on wheels vs the ritual of the pump—and admit some new designs finally look clean enough to sway skeptics. And since every great debate needs fuel, we put local spots on notice about gizzards, smothered chicken, and what “simmered right” actually means. It's messy, loud, and honest, with a stack of movie and TV picks to close your night: The Bear for kitchen heat, a tight six-episode His & Hers binge, and a few upcoming thrillers to circle on your calendar.Press play for jokes with bite, practical ideas you can steal, and a reminder to make Valentine's Day mean something real—especially for the people who don't usually get the gifts. If this made you laugh or think, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your best Valentine's win or fail in a review.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

Each project taught him something new about sales, storytelling, and community,skills he now uses to run his B2B marketing agency and e-commerce brand.Personal Branding and the “CEO of You”Ross breaks down his framework for personal branding: think of yourself as a company. Be your own CEO, marketing director, finance officer, and HR department. Decide what you want to be known for, and act accordingly. A personal brand isn't about pretending; it's about doing real things, then sharing them.Hip Hop, Hustle, and Staying HumbleHip hop taught Ross that ambition and gratitude can coexist. At his agency, Foundation, the mantra “Stand up. Be humble.” serves as a daily reminder to celebrate wins without getting complacent. Like a great verse, every project deserves your best performance,treat your first like your last and your last like your first.B2B vs. B2C and Making Money OnlineRoss demystifies the world of business models. Whether it's selling to consumers or companies, he says the key is finding what excites you. For some, that's making merch or art; for others, it's helping organizations grow. Both can work if you stay focused and learn to sell. He explains how digital skills,writing, design, communication,can turn into income fast through freelancing, affiliate marketing, or online products.Lessons For Aspiring CreatorsTreat every project like your firstLearn from hip hop: stay hungry, stay humbleThink like a CEO,build your personal brand with intentionUse the internet as your equalizer; the opportunities are endlessBuild skills before income; curiosity compounds into cash flowExperiment. Tinker. Keep learning.Memorable Quotes“Treat your first like your last, and your last like your first.”“The internet is the greatest equalizer.”“Be the CEO of you.”“There's no one too unskilled to make money online.”“Find joy in tinkering,the play is the path.”Final Advice For CreatorsBe willing to experiment. Don't chase perfection,chase curiosity. Build something, learn from it, and keep evolving. That's how you win in business and in life.Guest BioRoss Simmonds is an entrepreneur, speaker, and the founder of Foundation, a B2B content marketing agency helping global brands scale through strategy and storytelling. He's also behind Hustle & Grind, a lifestyle brand for creators.

From Rakim to Kendrick Lamar, this is the story of hip-hop's obsession with numbers. Dissect's Cole Cuchna breaks down the evolution of “number bars” - a lyrical tradition where rappers use math, numeric sequences, and wordplay to showcase technical skill and encode hidden meaning. Beginning with Rakim's groundbreaking verse on “My Melody” (1986) - a quatrain built around groups of seven that secretly mirrors his own 21-letter name - we trace how MCs have used numbers as both a mathematical signature and a symbolic device for decades. From Melle Mel's divine 7-count in “Superrappin” to Jay-Z's “22 Twos”, Biggie's “Ten Crack Commandments,” and Mos Def's “Mathematics,” numbers became an essential part of hip hop tradition and lyricism. By the 2000s, artists like Lupe Fiasco, J. Cole, JID, Vince Staples, and Kendrick Lamar transformed number schemes into complex storytelling tools. We unpack everything from Lupe's hidden 3–2–1 countdown on Kanye West's “Touch the Sky” to Kendrick's quantum-level equations on “Nosetalgia.” Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's episode of the Que Bola podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Miami's own King Tetrus, a dynamic rapper who is making significant strides in the music scene with his unique sound and powerful storytelling. From the moment we kicked off the episode, it was clear that King Tetrus is not just another artist; he embodies the relentless drive and creativity that defines the Miami hip-hop landscape. We began our conversation by diving into the origin of his name, King Tetrus. Tetrus, a game that many of us grew up playing, became a nickname during his childhood summer camps, where he was known for his skills. He cleverly connected this to his music, emphasizing that just like the game, hip-hop is fundamentally about "bars" and the essence of what you say. This playful yet profound analogy set the tone for a discussion that was both entertaining and insightful. As we explored his journey, King Tetrus shared his transition from a corporate finance career to pursuing music full-time, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. He candidly spoke about the pressures of living for others' expectations and how the lockdown prompted him to rediscover his passion for rap. It was a moment of self-reflection that led him to embrace his true calling, and he recounted how he found joy in the creative process, even if it meant starting from scratch. Throughout our chat, we touched on the challenges of balancing a corporate job with a burgeoning music career. King Tetrus opened up about the sacrifices he has made, including the difficulty of maintaining personal relationships and the financial responsibilities that come with pursuing a passion. His perspective on time management and the importance of hard work resonated deeply, as he emphasized that progress is often a lonely journey. Musically, King Tetrus draws inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including classic funk, hip-hop legends like Tribe Called Quest and Nas, and even the Miami rap scene, with Pitbull being a significant figure in his early experiences. He articulated his desire to create music that is not only commercially successful but also timeless and relatable, aiming to connect with listeners from all walks of life. As we wrapped up the episode, King Tetrus shared his vision for the future, expressing a commitment to authenticity and a desire to make a lasting impact in the music industry. His passion for his craft and his determination to succeed were palpable, leaving me inspired and excited for what lies ahead for this talented artist. Join us for this engaging conversation filled with laughter, insights, and a genuine look into the life of King Tetrus. Whether you're a fan of hip-hop or simply someone who appreciates the creative journey, this episode is sure to resonate with you. Tune in and get ready to be inspired!

We've got a really big show for you this week. We have had the pleasure of interviewing Slug (and Ant, but never both together) of Atmosphere a few times. Atmosphere never quite got bigger than The Beatles (or breast implants) but there is no denying that over the last 30 years they have proven themselves to be one of the most consistent and prolific independent hip-hop groups of all time. Both gentlemen display a deep musical knowledge in their work, and on today's program we chat with Slug about his "easter egg" references, his connection with the storied concert venue Red Rocks, wellness on tour, and of course Atmosphere's next album, Jestures. Though the album will not drop for a few weeks, we preview its unique development process. Ant and Slug "gamified" their production on this record, making one song for each letter of the alphabet, one at a time, A-Z. Inspired by this approach, DBRP hosts Demone Carter, David Ma and Nate LeBlanc recorded their longest intro segment ever, riffing on 26 rappers and their careers, also in alphabet (aerobics) order. I think it's pretty safe to say that you have never heard a podcast episode quite like this. Huge thanks to Slug for joining us, it was a real pleasure to speak with someone so thoughtful and self-deprecating while also being pretty darn successful in this niche of hip-hop that we we care about. Please catch Atmosphere on the Dank Days of Summer Tour with Cypress Hill, Lupe Fiasco and the Pharcyde, coming soon to a town near you.

In this solo episode, Brandon unpacks a challenge he sees everywhere — in his own work, at PJ Wallbank Springs, and in the broader world of leadership and business. The tension between attention and depth.It's easy to get attention without substance. It's also possible to have real substance without anyone noticing. But if you want to make a lasting impact, you need both. Brandon explores why that balance is so difficult to achieve, and why ignoring either side limits your reach and influence.He shares an unexpected example from Lupe Fiasco's Kick, Push — a song that works on the surface as a catchy, joyful story, but rewards the listener who digs deeper. It's a case study in the “Trojan horse” approach: earning attention in a way that opens the door for real substance.If you're leading teams, building products, telling your company's story, or simply trying to make your work matter, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how to bridge the gap between flash and foundation.Topics Covered:Why attention and depth often feel like they're in conflictHow depth without visibility limits your impactThe “Trojan horse” concept and why it worksLessons from Lupe Fiasco's Kick, PushApplying this balance in leadership, engineering, and businessWhy earning attention isn't self-promotion — it's part of the workLinks & Resources:Learn more about PJ Wallbank Springs: https://pjws.comLearn more about Edison: https://edison-mfg.comShow notes and full episodes: https://brandonbartneck.com/buildingbetterFollow the podcast:Apple Podcasts
