episode K-Shine: Growing Up in Harlem, Early Battles, Relationship With DNA, URL Situation and more. cover

Beskrivelse

"Today we have Harlem's own, the one and only, K-Shine, come sit down on the couch for the Thanx4askin Podcast. We try to cover everything that needs to be addressed and more. Of course, we cover the obvious topics such as his strained relationship with DNA and URL, also known as The Ultimate Rap League. However, before getting into that, we had to talk about his early upbringing, influences, and what led him to become a battle rapper. We talk about what it was like being that his father was in and out of prison very early in his life and how that affected him. We go on to talk about his High school days as a battle rapper. We later go into all the wins and losses he faced in battle rapping; not many losses though. We discussed what drug dealing was like for him. This actually caused him to have several prison bids. Being tethered to the system was no doubt a struggle for him when it came to battle rapping. We cover this and so much more in this interview. This interview is a portrait of a man who has been tested time and time again and somehow always finds a way to not only survive but thrive in his situations."

YP DA YG opens up about going to jail and the top 5 rappers of all time

Today we sat down with @ypdayg115 to talk about how he got into trouble early in his life with the law. He spoke on how his first jail stint was because of a crime he feels he didn't commit. His second time was due to his loyalty to a friend. We later discuss how he survived being in prison and jail. We also discuss the differences between the two institutions. We discuss his relationship with Chris from the We All In Clothing brand and how his mentorship from him helped @ypdayg115 become the man he is today. He actually gave him his name. We also get into the biggest argument of who is everyone's top 5 rappers of all time and this became a very heated debate. Also, we talk about how women's increased presence in hip hop and the NY drill scene. #jail #crime #top5deadoralive #thanx4askin #ypdayg #hiphop #popculture #jay-z #drake #jadakiss Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Economic and Political episode: Latoya Benjamin talks black economics & running for office

Latoya Benjamin joins us on the couch to talk about all things politics and black economics. We start with economics and how certain practices affect our community on a whole as black people. Latoya talks about what got her so intrigued with understanding urban policy and economics. We discuss the state of the black economy before and after the pandemic. We talk about the idea of all Black wealth leaving the community and what we can do to change that. We talk about what it takes to build a grassroots campaign to run for office in your community. More specifically, how Latoya Benjamin ran for office and came in fourth place with no major funding outside of her community. Furthermore, talk about her journey in Africa and being stranded out there for 4 months after only thinking it was supposed to be a two-week trip. We talk about what happens when black people bank with major institutions and the racism that corresponds with it.
