Bronx-born, Brooklyn-based conscious rapper Rich Vysion's story is one of triumph: How a braggadocious rapper overcame mental health struggles, and, along the way, created a platform that bridges the gap between music and mental health. His tracks are cinematically musical—often crafted from orchestral pieces, haunting piano motifs, and ominously entrancing basslines. His thought-provoking artistry has garnered favorable comparisons to Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Common. Vysion's work has been featured in such esteemed outlets as XXL Magazine, VideoCity TV, Zevo TV, Soul Science Radio Station, Skilly Magazine, American Pride Magazine, Flyah Magazine Site, TrendCity Radio, LUTG Radio, “Next Up Mixtape Volume 295,” “We Workin Mixtape Volume 197,”and Thisis50.com.

SleazyWorld Go, who calls Kansas City home, is one of hip-hop's most exciting new voices. His songs about the city's epidemic of violence earned him a spot in XXL Magazine's Freshman Class of 2023. Plus: Kansas City physicians are preparing medical students for the inevitability of gun trauma.

By 2010, so many of the bloggers who'd set out to subvert the gatekeepers had become them. Resentment grew: from a new generation of artists, from heavily-financed competition and especially from the labels. More money - spent on building websites, growing networks, signing acts and retaining lawyers - meant closer scrutiny on what started out as passion projects. And it all would come to a head as families gathered around the dinner table.

If the 2009 XXL Freshman cover was a celebration of the blogs, the 2010 edition was a significant crack in the blogs' foundation. Space had never been a problem on the internet. But now, artists were no longer focused on being one in a million on NahRight.com; they wanted to be one of ten on the cover of a magazine.

For years, absent options, artists and bloggers focused on independence. But fuck it! Money! In 2009, it was time to cash in. When Complex started their vertical ad network, NahRight was the first website they even approached. XXL, long in the business of promoting larger-than-life stars from the majors, went left and selected ten blog-friendly rappers to put on their cover. Thanks to this, names like B.o.B., Asher Roth and Kid Cudi got a ton of attention and major label offers.

In 2008, bloggers - who discovered, posted and leaked records with impunity - built momentum. With the spread of these mp3 websites from big cities to unheard-of regions, power was steadily being seized from the record labels. There was success, copy-cats and egos. But there was also a harsh reality: blogs weren't making any money. Eskay, running the most notable site of them all, watched both the landscape and his competition extremely carefully, and decided that he was ready for a giant, new fight.

What started as a small outlet for eskay to celebrate underground music, in two years became a destination for artists like J. Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Wale, Big Sean and so many others looking for a co-sign outside MTV, Hot97 and XXL Magazine. When NahRight, a rappy-rap paradise, bent its unwritten rules to post Drake, he became a huge deal. With a growing audience and growing influence, suitors began incessantly knocking on eskay's door.

With more than 30 years in the music and book publishing industry author and journalist Aliya King Neil joins Panama Jackson to talk about the good ol' days when The Source, Vibe, and XXL Magazine were in their prime.

In this episode Durell is joined by DJ, producer, content creator and podcaster Lorenzo “DJ Lozo” Flores. The episode begins with Durell and Lorenzo sharing how they got connected during a panel at Full Sail University back in 2018. Durell asks Lorenzo where he's originally from and he shares that he grew up in Detroit, Michigan but has also lived in Los Angeles, California, Atlanta, Georgia and he now currently resides in Orlando, Florida. Durell asks Lorenzo about his earliest memories of music and he shares that he remembers his mother always listening to music and had it always on when he was a kid. Lorenzo shares that he remembers listening to Funk and Classic Rock. He shares that his step dad also listened to a variety of music and then as he got older in the late 80's he began listening to and loving Hip-Hop. Durell and Lorenzo talk about his days as a college rep for Def Jam Records, Ruff House Records and XXL Magazine. Lorenzo shared that he went to school at Western Michigan University and met a DJ named DJ Tanqueray who taught him how to DJ. Lorenzo shared that he then bought his own DJ equipment and began DJing and making mixtapes. He started his journey into college radio and he was hired as a college rep. He said that as a college rep he really needed to know about the different music that was coming out on the different major record companies so that when the labels sent their artists to be interviewed the questions would be relevant to what was needing to be marketed and promoted. He shares that those were the days when college radio was the vehicle that helped new artists get heard. Durell says that he feels that college radio matters even still in today's marketplace. Lorenzo shared that college radio is a great place to perfect media training. Durell shares that so many indie creatives sleep on the small venues and towns because of the lack of notoriety but what makes the small venues in the small town valuable is the fact that the patrons get to touch and spend time getting to know these creatives which creates genuine supporters. Durell shares that there is a difference between fans and supporters. Fans like the music you create as opposed to supporters who will actually spend money to show their appreciation. Lorezo shares the story of how he was able to get RUN DMC to come play a small club because of a booking that he did for them when he was in college because they couldn't get a club to book them back in the 80's ten years after and that was because they wanted to give back and say thank you to him even though they couldn't promote the show publicly. Durell and Lorenzo talk about the importance of building leverage as a new indie creative. Durell shares that he often tells indie creatives that building a career in music is a long play. Lorenzo shares that when you are able to show the ability to make things happen on a budget or smaller scale and can prove that you are here for the long haul of the grind, that's the recipe for success. Durell and Lorenzo both agree that making music professionally is a team sport and the great thing about pursuing a professional music career in today's ecosystem and marketplace for indie creatives is the ability to create and define success on their terms. Durell asks Lorenzo when he decided to begin his pivot into producing music. He shared that he had a friend who had a MPC and a chord triton and began to teach him the basics of how to produce. He shares that he was mostly self taught after learning how to use his sampler and because he grew up on such an eclectic background of music he was really able to craft a sound. He was able to take what he had learned in crafting his sound and began to get a few music placements on various indie creatives as well as sync placements for HBO, Comedy Central and FOX. Durell and Lorenzo share the importance for creatives to have their business right especially when it comes to making sure their publishing is properly setup because we are in the era of metadata and music supervisors not wanting to get sued so handling all of the back end is a major key in being successful in today's music ecosystem. Lorenzo shares that its so important for indie creatives to find someone who can help them navigate the business of making sure they are set up correctly so they can focus on making great art. He also shares how much he appreciates what Durell does in giving knowledge for free to help indie creatives on his social media platforms.Durell and Lorenzo end the episode talking about his podcast called “The Life Of Lozo” podcast. He shares that the podcast is about him having great conversations with his friends about music or he would interview a business owner and chat with them about life and business. He also shares that the “Life Of Lozo podcast'' spun off to a podcast about leadership entitled “Hacking Your Leadership Podcast” because the people told him that they wanted to hear him talk about leadership which has had over 3 million downloads. Durell and Lorenzo talk about his hip-hop detective graphic novel entitled CRHYME®. Lorenzo shared that the graphic novel is centered around the different hip-hop lyrics about crime scenes and how a detective goes about solving the different crimes.For more info on Lorenzo “DJ Lozo” Flores, please checkout his websites and socials below:Websites: https://www.lifeoflozo.com/Graphic Novel- https://www.crhyme.com/Social HandlesInstagram- @life_of_lozo @crhyme.novel

Durell and Lorenzo share the importance for creatives to have their business right especially when it comes to making sure their publishing is properly setup because we are in the era of metadata and music supervisors not wanting to get sued so handling all of the back end is a major key in being successful in today's music ecosystem. Lorenzo shares that its so important for indie creatives to find someone who can help them navigate the business of making sure they are set up correctly so they can focus on making great art. He also shares how much he appreciates what Durell does in giving knowledge for free to help indie creatives on his social media platforms.Durell and Lorenzo end the episode talking about his podcast called “The Life Of Lozo” podcast. He shares that the podcast is about him having great conversations with his friends about music or he would interview a business owner and chat with them about life and business. He also shares that the “Life Of Lozo podcast'' spun off to a podcast about leadership entitled “Hacking Your Leadership Podcast” because the people told him that they wanted to hear him talk about leadership which has had over 3 million downloads. Durell and Lorenzo talk about his hip-hop detective graphic novel entitled CRHYME®. Lorenzo shared that the graphic novel is centered around the different hip-hop lyrics about crime scenes and how a detective goes about solving the different crimes.For more info on Lorenzo “DJ Lozo” Flores, please checkout his websites and socials below:Websites: https://www.lifeoflozo.com/Graphic Novel- https://www.crhyme.com/Social HandlesInstagram- @life_of_lozo @crhyme.novel

DJ Vlad joins us for our last episode in our Los Angeles Run. DJ Vlad is the owner of one of the longest and successful independent hip hop media platform currently, Vlad TV. Rarely seen ever on camera, it is a honor to have him along with Akademiks talking about the media game, his come up and how independent media outlets like Akademiks and Vlad TV are now outperforming and essentially running the game when it comes to music and content creation in hip hop. Vlad speaks on how he focused on growing a interview catalog that he knew would be valuable someday. Vlad talks about Hip Hop's victim mentality where there is a inherent need to blame someone else for your own actions. He also talks about how as things have changed and outlets have become obsolete, he's thought about purchasing XXL Magazine. DJ Vlad addresses people trying to say he's the police, breaks down the Casanova interview and the allegations that he was mentioned in his case. He recaps his come up and talks about the infamous Ransom / Joe Budden beef that the hip hop world was shocked to see documented on his platform. He goes into discussing Lil B, growing and figuring out a business model and also breaking down some of 'life story' style interviews he has of many people who either never had many interviews or who never told their story on other platforms. We talk accountability and also artists being upset with the media rather than their own actions at times. Vlad also speaks about his issue with Soulja Boy and in the infamous interview with the guys who were in a shootout with Soulja Boy. Also he discusses the interview with No Plug, He also talks about 6ix9ine and how he's had a change of tune in terms of offering his platform to him. He admits that 6ix9ine triggered him with certain actions that caused him to have a particular reaction. DJ Vlad goes on to expose the jeweler who also finessed Lil Baby after shady business dealings with that individual in the past. Vlad also gives a epic story of how Drake had his homeboys try to press Vlad about him allowing others a platform to criticize him. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/offtherecord-djakademiks/support

In this hip hop-centric episode, the bois talk newcomer Coi Leray's fast rise to fame, alongside some loud hate coming just as quickly as the XXL Magazine features and festival sets. Industry plant gone wrong, or unfairly maligned up-and-comer? We'll let you decide. Then, rap star DaBaby put his foot in his mouth and seems to like the taste. After a ramblingly homophobic ad-lib at his Rolling Loud Festival set, he's only doubled (now, after recording, TRIPLED down) on those remarks. Though big names like Elton John and Madonna have spoken up to refute his outdated views, some went to bat for DaBaby, including TI and Lil Boosie. The Brews give their thoughts on DaControversy and the future of hip hop. *Beer of the Week* Copper Kettle Brewing Company Dark Samba Imperial Milk Stout

This week I am sharing the conversation I had with Gifted Gab. Gab started as a solo rap artist in Seattle and is now one-half the popular hip-hop duo, B.A.G. or Blimes and Gab. The music video for their song, “Come Correct” went viral a few years ago and with over 10M views and since then they have both put out solo albums and a joint project called, “Talk About It.” Gab has been singing, composing, and playing instruments since she was a little girl in the church choir. All grown up now, Gab is known as, “The Mayor” of Seattle. She's also been recognized as Best Female Rappers on the rise by XXL Magazine back in 2013. Gab's journey is a great reminder that success doesn't happen overnight. Success in the arts industry takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and persistence. That last one, that's the one that matters the most. Not only do you have to believe in yourself, but you have to have patience and trust that the risk you're taking now will pay off way, way, way down the road. Enjoy!
