Youngest In The Yacht Club
In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Youngest in The Yacht Club, host Vince Serrano sits down with Jaz Mariah, founder and host of the Why Hip Hop Podcast, for a raw, necessary conversation about hip hop culture, journalism, identity, trauma, and truth. Jaz opens up about growing up in foster care, becoming a mother at a young age, navigating homelessness, and carving out her own lane in media through Why Hip Hop — a platform dedicated to asking the hard questions others avoid. Together, they unpack what hip hop really represents, the difference between culture and exploitation, culture vultures, financial literacy, and why storytelling still matters in today’s industry. This episode goes far beyond music — it’s about ownership, resilience, and protecting the soul of hip hop. If you care about real conversations, media accountability, and the future of culture, this one is a must-watch. 00:00 – Introduction & welcoming Jaz Mariah 00:24 – Who is Jaz Mariah?
