The Lingo

Season 6, Episode 15: "Losses and Lessons" (Finale)

Wrapping up our illustrious sixth season, The Lingo is joined by the enigma, Mr. Don Julio himself. As a man of many hats, it's only right to touch base on a bit of everything he does. We kick off our conversation with how ATM and Don Julio met through music and how O met him through event curation; our first topic.  We glide towards the music talk discussing his new project, The Don Tape, set to drop July 10th, 2022. Enveloping that arching topic we speak on how the music we make as artists will always vary from the sounds we really enjoy, to the music we make for certain groups of our fans; and how the tape has a bit of each.  Throughout the entirety of this episode many gems are dropped to really encompass not only our guest as an artist, but to really embrace artistry as a whole. As always, we end this episode with an amazing Lingo Talk With The Lingo because you know how we do. Thank you all for an amazing season, and we'll see you soon! Stay up, stay safe, be easy -  peace.

Season 6, Episode 14: "Fuck It We All Rap"

In a very full circle moment, The Lingo is joined this week by Jalen and Zeal from Escape2NY. Recapping their past Underground Live event (UGL), we recall the start of UGL and how it went from basement bashments to an upcoming rooftop function; from the bottom to the top - literally.  We get into a nice pocket talking about Jalen’s own journey with music and how it led to his younger brother (950rackz a.k.a GSK) forming a love for rap; truly showing us that artistry runs in the family.  Both guests being familiar with and having spent much time upstate, we talk about the music scene up there and the challenges that come with trying to amplify the voices out there - which ultimately takes us back to Jalen’s musical journey. On our latter half, we discuss Escape going global with their Mexico City event, what's next for Escape in regards to UGL and their Art Expo and how to further creative this space and platform for creatives. As always, we wrap up with a Lingo Talk with The Lingo with new phrases in the mix!

Season 6, Episode 13: "Heavy On The "We" Pt. 2"

You already know how we coming, it's a family affair! This past week, The Lingo was graced by guests from our last 4 seasons, @Kaylaphate, @Destheproblem, @malik.english, @jezmakesmusic. It's real simple this week - we was chilling with the homies, laughing and chatting.  After catching up with everyone, we get into about some new music and new projects coming from each of these talented artists which led us into a distribution debate and honestly, Distrokid is bugging. Being music lovers and mainly Brooklyn natives we give everyone some nostalgia in discussing the 10 year anniversary of '1999' by Joey Bada$$ (slight morbid content here not gonna lie).  Since everyone here has done a Lingo Talk with The Lingo, we spin-off with a nice hot topic, "who is in the next class of the "greatest" rappers?"

Season 6, Episode 12: "That's Larry"

On this majority mellow episode, The Lingo sits down with Richii Price, Flatbush native artist, to talk about the smooth sounds he be putting out.  We kick off with an entire Syracuse & NCAA tangent that somehow leads us to Narnia and the real hot take of the episode: "Bridge to Terebithia could've been Narnia." After all that though, we get into the real meat of the episode, discussing how ATM and Richii met at his group (Kings Circle) run event, Ice Cream Social; later getting into Richii's trilogy album, Positive Productions. We bounce around a lot with content regarding old music and new music he has dropping; as well as a lot of talk on Kings Circle and what it really is.  On this episode we talk about basketball, music, RICO charges and best of all new lingo to grace the episode's title: That's Larry.

Season 6, Episode 11: "That Shit Blyyaahh"

BROKELAND IS BACK! On this hilarious episode we have returning guest, @Blkmfchrist (a.k.a. Savvy) and another member of the Brokeland collective, @tretheartist. Where do we even begin? After our initial catch-ups with Savvy and his recent Alvin Ailey tour, we dive into Tré's music journey and how it all started with Summer Youth funds. We talk on what seems to be the brand of Brokeland, working in house. We talk production and melodies and how making everything yourself just changes your overall musical process. If you know Brokeland, you know their "guerrilla marketing," as O called it, is their bread and butter. It makes them unforgettable.  On our latter half we speak on Money's SOB Performance, leading us into overall event curation and how performances impact us as artists. We wrap up with talks on rebound tracks, marketing tacts, (Fake) Brokeland Beef, and of course Lingo Talk with The Lingo. Hilarious content, even funnier collective.
