Linked up with the homie @panamajackson on his pod

Linked up with the homie @panamajackson on his podcast "Pass the Peas" and discussed Vulture’s “100 Songs That Define NY Rap, Ranked” list, omissions, New York rap overall, Dipset, and a brief convo about Ray J pops up because, well, it's us. 😂

Check out the show on Apple, Spotify and SoundCloud! (Spotify Link in Bio)

I was honored to be an inaugural guest on the @bl

I was honored to be an inaugural guest on the @blkirl podcast with @anuliwashere - an audio docuseries that explores the business of “influencing” and the power dynamics at play in the act of cultural exchange.

We talked about how influencing has become the new cult of personality and how the exploitation of Black people and Black creative labor have become central to the inner workings of Internet culture. I talk a little bit about my old column, Extremely Online, and touch on my background in Tech as well.

Link is in the bio, check it out✨

Every year there is a debate about who or what is

Every year there is a debate about who or what is going to “bring New York back” into the authentic grit people harken back to in reminiscing in the heyday of the 90s. That sentiment ppl ache for, however, is very much alive in the new wave; artists carving out new sounds to document the nuances of what they see in their various little corners of the world and become interlocutors of that not only to their passionate local fanbases, but to hip-hop at large. As the Mecca and birthplace of hip-hop, the inherent hubris of our musicality is intergenerational; it is built into how NY artists approach discussing the value of their content, especially as mainstream radio and law enforcement do a one-two punch in stamping out subcultures.

In this piece for @vulture , I did my best to give a snapshot of what the youth have been building while the outside world has been paying them dust. There's a ton of great talent out there and this is only a slice of that scene. Above are some excerpts of some of the "smaller" artists, although the list has plenty of the bigger ones - Fivio, A Boogie, etc. Link in bio✨
