This week on Behind the Mic, I’m joined by fellow REVOLT Podcast Network veteran and media powerhouse, Lalaa Shepard. Lalaa is the creator of The Progress Report, one of Atlanta’s most respected platforms for hip hop and culture.

Lalaa shares “Hot Boyz” by Kai Cash — a standout track from one of her favorite emerging artists.
