In this powerful conversation, Willie D sits down with rapper and businessman Maxo Kream for an honest interview about leadership, family, the streets, and the mindset behind his new OYN project. Maxo Kream breaks down what OYN means to him, why he sees himself as an older voice for the younger generation, and how growing up around older influences shaped the way he moves today. Maxo Kream also talks with Willie D about his father being taken by the feds, the pressure he felt growing up, losing his brother, loyalty, envy, street responsibility, and the difference between glorifying the streets and telling the full truth about consequences. He explains how becoming more vulnerable in his music changed his career, and why focus, discipline, and business decisions became critical as his fame grew.

In this episode, we explore how the recent increased interest in Christianity in culture and the arts might affect the culture, the church and those of us working in the arts.

The Bay Area is a region with undeniable talent, but it hasn't become a permanent hip-hop power center. We've had plenty of artists with hits and worldwide acclaim, but there are so many rappers who haven't had the spotlight. Many fans have wondered why the Bay seems so slept on, and never achieved the same level of success as other regions. One reason is that so many artists - including our BIGGEST superstars - have been held back by death, prison, and other consequences of the streets. This is a deep dive into some of the tragic circumstances that have derailed Bay Area rap.--Essential Bay Area Rap Playlist: https://fanlink.tv/historyofthebay-podcast--Join the Patreon: https://patreon.com/dregsone--0:00 Intro2:19 Rapper deaths9:33 Rappers doing time17:15 Addiction & mental health20:03 Conclusion

What if Common never linked up with Kanye West for the legendary album Be? In this episode of Hip Hop What Ifs, co-hosts D and Kyle explore the pivotal "what if" moment that saved Common's career and reshaped the landscape of Chicago hip-hop. Common was at a professional crossroads following the polarizing reception of Electric Circus, and many in the industry believed he was on the verge of being dropped. We dive into the "Kanye Factor," discussing how Be became the blueprint for Common's transition into a successful Hollywood actor, Oscar winner, and legacy artist. Together, we analyze how this one collaboration acted as a catalyst for the careers of artists like Lupe Fiasco, Chance the Rapper, and the wider Chicago music renaissance. -In this episode, we cover:The "Electric Circus" aftermath and Common's near-departure from the music industry.   -How Kanye West provided the "soulful" sound that revitalized Common's artistic identity.   -The business impact: Why Common wouldn't have reached Hollywood success without the commercial bounce-back of Be.   -The ripple effect on the Chicago hip-hop scene and the founding of G.O.O.D.

Junte Uiterwijk (Sticks) is rapper. Hij werd bekend met de rapgroep Opgezwolle, die hij vormde met rapper Phreako Rico en dj-producer Delic. Hierna ging hij solo verder en bracht hij samen met Delic het album 'Fakkelteit' uit. Hij bracht het autobiografische boek ‘Grijnzen naar de Goden' uit en maakte albums als ‘STICKmatic' en ‘Alles Over Hoop' en ‘Zonneschijn'.

Jonas kommt in Siegen zur Welt. Durch den Jobwechsel des Vaters zur Industrie & Handelslkammer zieht die Familie nach Gießen, als er 5 ist, wo er zusammen mit zwei älteren Schwestern aufwächst. Zu Modern Talking hüpft er als dreijähriger bereits nackt durchs Haus und die ersten richtigen Dance Mooves tanzt Jonas zu Songs von Michael Jackson. Als Schlagzeuger jammt er in der Schülerband in der Mittagspause im Probenraum zu Radioheads Karma Police und probiert erste Gesangsversuche zu "When I Come Aroud" von Green Day. Nach dem Studium von Politik, Soziologie & Medien geht Jonas auf die Journalistenschule und wird Redakteur beim Fernsehen. Irgendwann kam die Frage: Fester Job oder Musik? Mit Ende 20 dann die Entscheidung: Musik machen. Professionell. 2006 folgt der erste Auftritt als Rapper und zusammen mit Keyboarder Moritz Rech und Beatbastler Raffael Kühle gründen die drei "Jona:S" und veröffentlichen die ersten Songs. Trotz einigen Achtungserfolgen – unter anderem dem Sieg beim New Music Award – legen sie den Bandnamen wieder ab. 2012 das Comeback als OK KID. Nicht nur am Namen erkennt man die Vorliebe der Drei für Bands wie Radiohead. Das Leben als Musiker ist verheißungsvoll: Die Hoffnung damit gutes Geld zu verdienen, an spannende Orte zu reisen und auf der Bühne von Tausenden bejubelt zu werden ist groß. Doch es gibt auch eine Schattenseite. Bühnenangst, Druck, Textaussetzer, das Ende von Jona:S und ein einstiges Stotterproblem. Dank Bandkollegen Raffi und Moritz bekommt Jonas es in den Griff und macht einen psychologischen Wunsch Test, wo herauskommt: der 5. Wunsch sei der Wichtigste. Auf seinem Zettel stand: 5. Insprierende Menschen treffen und gute Gespräche an den schönsten Orten der Welt führen. Dein Wunsch sei uns Befehl: Herzlich Willkommen: Jonas Schubert in der Hörbar Rust auf radioeins.

You've been standing on the sidelines. Watching your voice shrink every time the room gets uncomfortable. Letting fear dictate what you say, who you become, and how small you're willing to stay just to avoid the backlash. Here's the truth: the cost of silence is always higher than the cost of speaking up. And the moment you stop apologizing for what you believe is the moment you stop living someone else's script. Zuby is an Oxford educated rapper, bestselling author, and one of the most uncompromising independent thinkers alive. He's built a career using his voice to challenge narratives, spark real conversations, and inspire millions to stop waiting for permission to live boldly. In this episode, he breaks down the exact frameworks for building a life that means something, why usefulness beats happiness as a North Star, and the one practice that turns avoidance into courage. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the biggest killer of men under 50 is themselves and what that says about purpose, meaning, and the fundamental pillars that have been knocked out of modern life The moral duty to be strong: why it's not wrong to be weak, but it's wrong to voluntarily remain weak, and how competence builds confidence that serves others How to overcome fear when the people you love want you to stay the same and why listening to everyone doesn't mean taking everyone's advice The zoom out framework: fear God not man, remember most people have it harder than you do, and recognize you asked for the life you're living Why meaning comes from knowing what you actually value, not what society told you to prioritize, and how trade offs are the secret to building a life you designed instead of inherited Stop shrinking. Start speaking. The world doesn't need another person playing it safe. It needs you at full volume. ___________ (00:00:00) Introduction: Stop Self-Obsessing and Start Building Something That Matters (00:00:53) The Hidden Crisis: Why Young Men Are Quietly Disappearing (00:02:18) Boys Are Always Building or Destroying: The Testosterone Truth (00:04:13) The Gender Role Confusion: Who Pays for the First Date and Why It Matters (00:07:33) Quiet Quitting Masculinity: The Generation Opting Out Entirely (00:11:30) Real Wages, Real Problems: The Economic Truth Nobody Wants to Admit (00:15:11) It's Wrong to Voluntarily Remain Weak: Your Moral Duty to Be Strong (00:19:12) The Parable of the Talents: Don't Stand Before God at Half Capacity (00:21:08) Look-Maxing, Vanity, and the 80-20 Rule for Men's Appearance (00:25:55) Stop Fighting Biology: Why Blank Slate Thinking Is Making Everyone Miserable (00:28:17) Build Competence First: The Foundation of Self-Respect (00:30:01) The Self-Obsession Trap: Focus Outward to Escape Your Own Head (00:32:44) Therapy, Shamans, and Substituting Religion: The Long Way Back to God (00:37:33) I Fear God, Not Man: The Source of Courage in a Cancel Culture (00:40:16) Zoom Out: You Asked for This Worry (00:43:42) Listen to Everyone, Obey No One: Handling Criticism from People You Love (00:46:04) The Nigerian Parents Who Let Zuby Become a Rapper (00:52:32) Never Let a Stranger on the Internet Ruin Your Day (00:53:33) What Is a Meaningful Life?

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a deep, enlightening conversation between two talented wordsmiths who also happen to be admirers of each other's work: Mick Jenkins and Aja Monet. Mick Jenkins first found some notice a little over a decade ago with a mixtape called The Waters, a sophisticated, politically minded group of songs that sounded wiser than his years and got him tons of attention from his homebase of Chicago and beyond. Early collaborators include Chance the Rapper and and Vic Mensa, which should tell you a little bit about what to expect from Jenkins' sound, but not the whole story: He's since released a bunch of records that take plenty of left turns, including last year's jazzy A Murder of Crows, made with producer EMIL. Check out “Worker's Comp” from that album right here. Speaking of jazzy, the other half of today's conversation is Aja Monet, who's taken her poetry from the page and straight readings to a place bursting with music and rhythm on a pair of albums, including a brand new one called The Color of Rain. Jenkins and their mutual friend Vic Mensa join on one song, “Melting Clocks” but it's most Monet's show throughout, with her poetry set over zigzagging instruments and tempos. It never feels forced, but rather a natural extension of what she's all about—complex, lyrical, and sometimes intense. Check out “Melting Clocks” right here. This conversation starts a little slowly—Jenkins is just waking up and has been having a rough few months. But these two draw inspiration and life from chatting with each other: They cover Jenkins' early years, when he wasn't sure if his religion would allow him to pursue secular music; and they get deep into how to deal with the crazy world we're living in at the moment—specifically how to manage anger. It's a deep conversation with a lot of wisdom coming from both directions. Enjoy. 0:00 Intro 3:04 Start of Conversation 3:29 On new projects and working through grief with family 4:53 On things women weren't told about, and learning about ourselves 6:27 On the broken healthcare system, and prioritizing wellness with age 9:23 On self-care, supporting friends, and community 11:25 On expanding your worldview while traveling, and healthcare abroad  18:21 On reacting to US politics and “righteous rage” 22:29 On power dynamics and understanding experiences with anger 26:40 On how Aja's art expresses anger and love 27:24 On Mick's career, and what he wanted to express with his early work 29:19 On seeing love in nature, and unique expressions of anger in art 29:56 On reaching people with deeply personal and honest art, and how Mick's background influences his music 37:10 On feeling afraid of speaking up, and grappling with spirituality 39:45 On empathy, giving others grace, and Aja's religious upbringing 42:37 On living your truth, growing as a person, and recognizing ignorance 45:07 On finding balance, being humbled by nature, and “warrior spirits” 47:32 On being peers, and learning from each other Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast and thanks to Aja Monet and Mick Jenkins for chatting.

The show kicks things off with fans reacting to the highly anticipated B2K vs. Pretty Ricky Verzuz, where social media lit up with opinions, viral moments, and heavy nostalgia from early 2000s R&B—ultimately with many fans declaring Pretty Ricky the clear winner while still celebrating both groups’ impact. The conversation then shifts to Oprah Winfrey facing backlash after sharing a story about Whitney Houston falling on stage during a past interview, with critics questioning why the story was told now and whether it unfairly revisits painful moments from the late singer’s life. The show also features a standout interview with music legend Jermaine Dupri, who reflects on his journey from discovering Kris Kross to becoming one of the most influential producers in hip-hop and R&B, helping shape hits for artists like Usher and Mariah Carey while building his So So Def empire. Wrapping things up, the crew discusses Lionel Richie’s recent health scare after the icon was forced to cut a concert short due to dizziness, later postponing shows as he focuses on recovery—reminding fans of the physical demands that still come with performing at a high level.

The Moda Center has a packed summer lineup with performances by Chance the Rapper, Benson Boone and others. The arena is no longer devoid of basketball in the summer thanks to the triumphant return of the Portland Fire.   But this week the building is taking center stage for other reasons. Portland Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon is in town for an annual business summit at Moda Center. Meanwhile city and county leaders discussed the plan to renovate the arena with public cash – there was spiciness. Reporters Lauren Dake, Kyra Buckley and Alex Zielinski discussed all that and more this week on the latest episode of OPB Politics Now.  

What happens when you combine the greatest traits from the greatest rappers of all time?In this episode of the Ern and Iso Podcast, we take on one of the biggest debates in hip-hop history: What would the perfect rapper look like?We build the ultimate artist from the ground up by selecting the best qualities from some of the culture's most iconic names. From Nas' lyrical genius and Fabolous' effortless flow to Kanye West's creativity, Jay-Z's business mind, Drake's hit-making ability, Black Thought's freestyle skills, and more, we create a rapper unlike anything hip-hop has ever seen.Along the way, we debate:

Host Justin Forman sits down with Billboard-charting Christian hip hop artist and entrepreneur Tedashii for a raw, unforgettable conversation about identity, loss, and what it really means to build something that lasts. From writing his first song in elementary school to reaching #1 on the Billboard charts, Tedashii shares how grief transformed his entrepreneurial ambition—and how losing his one-year-old son Chase became the defining moment that changed everything he was building toward. Tedashii opens up about the difference between running from something, running to something, and the third road God placed before him: running for something. He shares his vision for a nonprofit called Chase Life, his passion for dismantling the shame narrative that holds entrepreneurs back, and why the church's next great revival may depend on artists and business leaders heralding the name of Christ with excellence. Tedashii (born Tadashi—a Japanese name meaning loyal, faithful, true, and correct) grew up biracial in Texas, discovered Christ at Baylor University, and went on to become one of Christian hip hop's most recognized voices through Reach Records alongside Lecrae. Today he's expanding into public speaking, acting, filmmaking, and nonprofit work, all anchored by the conviction that what he's called to do, nobody else can do. Key Topics: From missionary-minded musician to intentional entrepreneur—and what made the shift click   Why authenticity in creativity transcends listenership and becomes a two-way highway   The moment Tedashii's son Chase passed away—and how grief redirected his entire entrepreneurial vision   Running from something vs. running to something vs. running for something   Identity, Imago Dei, and why the enemy uses shame to hinder the entrepreneur   Notable Quotes: "I decided to learn how to meet the needs of people, and that made me an entrepreneur." — Tedashii "There's so much pressure on arriving to the thing you're running to, to help you battle the demons that you're running from. And now because I'm running for something, getting to the things I'm running to doesn't, it's no pressure on it anymore." — Tedashii "You're a lousy someone else, but the best you there is. There is not another you. You are a rarity." — Tedashii
