Shout out to the homie @aldali_410 for providing the new sounds. Definitely check …

I open up this week’s episode of UG by briefly covering an incident between the Valley Stream, NY native & then-Apple Music executive Carl Chery, which underscores the importance of branding. This discussion segues into the topic of influencers in today’s wo…

“I can’t believe you did that, that shit is mad funny.” Sorry for the delay! In this episode, I explain why this release was late (immediately breaking a resolution I set for the new year — shout out to you if you’ve kept up with your own goals). Alcohol and poor judgment contributed to this episode, but probably not in the way that you might think…

Let me know your thoughts on the topic, and tell who I'm missing (chances are they will be covered in Part III). This marks the end of groups founded between 1989-2009; Part III …
