EP 78 | Shootin' The Shit by Views From The Chixx
Hello music lovers!!! On this week's episode, we discuss the recent national and global protests demanding racial justice due to the violent killings of #GeorgeFloyd #AhmaudArbery and #BreonnaTaylor by police. The ladies also discussed the "impact" of the #BlackoutTuesday initiative created by the music industry to protest these incidents. Some streaming services created blacked out, silent, or minimal programming lasting 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the length of time it took for George Floyd's life to be taken. However some of us were not 100% impressed with their efforts and we challenged the music industry to do more! In addition, we provide listeners with resources they can use to help fight against police brutality if protesting on the front lines is not your lane. There is something we can all do to help fight for justice! Take a listen for more information!

This could be anything from music, television, podcasts, movies, etc. In the first "Views in Review" we discuss The New York Times audio series called The 1619 project. This project was created to dive into the historical start of American Slavery and its impact on American history, as 2019 marks the 400th Anniversary of the start of American slavery. The 1619 project discusses the true history and its consequences that is often not told in schools and history books.

Hello music lovers! On this week’s episode we are talking about the 2019 Grammy awards w/ our guest co-host/VFTC contributor B.The Plug! As many of you know, there was only one female winner of a solo award at last years telecast. The organization seemed to have stepped it up in a big way by enlisting Alicia Keys as the host for the night followed by a slew of Grammy wins for women. Despite their efforts though some boycotted the event entirely. Ariana Grande backed out of her performance last minute. Drake was late but came through with a message for the masses! Childish Gambino, Taylor Swift, and a few others didn’t bother showing up at all. Not to mention the backlash Cardi B faced after winning “Rap Album of the Year”.

On this week’s episode we discuss the recent Hulu and Netflix documentaries examining the scandalous music festival, Fyre Festival. Fyre Fest was supposed to be a luxurious festival on the Bahamian islands providing the perfect backdrop for the ultimate social media experience. The exclusive two-weekend event promised a lavish carribean getaway by advertising private jets, luxury yachts, gourmet meals, and high-profile celebrities. However, the attendees were in for the shock of their life as what they experienced was far from luxury. Let’s just say a lot of crying selfies were taken which resulted in one of the worst social media disasters of all time. After watching both films, we still had so many questions that needed answers. To get the inside scoop we interviewed Felix Vargas, one of the event producers of Fyre Fest who was actually featured on the Hulu documentary Fyre Fraud. Felix, who is also the co-founder of Curated Vibes Group, walked us through his personal involvement in the festival and what really went down behind the scenes. We discussed the false perception that was presented to the public as well as the possible intentions of the organizers.

Despite their talented roster, the company went in a downward spiral after Aaliyah’s passing and a slew of lawsuits followed. The most famous lawsuit was with JoJo, which took her almost a decade to resolve before she could release music again. We discuss the importance of artists owning their masters and how Barry Hankerson’s refusal to put Aaliyah’s music on any major streaming services may affect her legacy.

Hey music lovers! On this week’s episode, we interviewed Philly based hip hop artist E-Hos. As a true creative at heart, he juggles many hats such as acting, producing and even playing the viola. However his love for music surpasses them all. He began writing at the fruitful age of 10 and over the years focused on perfecting his craft. While in college E-Hos began recording music in his friend’s dorm room studio and later released his first feature via YouTube. Like wildfire the track quickly went viral which caught the attention of local radio stations. In the words of E-Hos, “Good music travels fast”. During our conversation, we discussed his latest album Underestimated II. E-Hos describes this album as a personal journey of self-discovery. His clever storytelling skills will leave listeners hanging on to every word. On December 21st, the first day of winter solstice, E-Hos will be releasing his new album Subzero Season and from the looks of it, it’s definitely going to be a cold winter!

Hey music lovers! Have you been in a R&B funk?? Tired of the same old song and dance you hear on the radio?? If the answer is yes, then we are on the same page. This week we interviewed singer, songwriter, and producer Dante Hawkins from New York who is determined to make you fall in love with R&B all over again! During our conversation we discussed how he got his start in the game and how an unexpected encounter with DeVante Swing of Jodeci helped further ignite his passion for music. Describing his sound as "life music", Dante pulls from personal experiences to inspire others one song at a time. We see that on his song "Journey" as he walks listeners through the hardships he experienced growing up in a broken home. Even though it was a long ride, he persevered and made his life his own. His willingness to be open and honest about his journey resonates with both women and men. Society often discourages men from tapping into their emotions and speaking on certain matters, but through his music Dante lends a voice to the fellas who often go unheard.

Hello world! This week we interviewed Los Angeles based (by way of Bermuda) soul/pop group HE?ITAGE. During our conversation with the band's front members, Gianluca Gibbons and Hannah Eggen, we learned about the duo’s creative process and the inspiration behind their new found sound. Both members are passionate about their craft and rely on their faith to keep them grounded. Through their music Heritage hopes to empower and inspire the youth and their latest single "Those Red Lips" embodies just that. The song discusses the importance of self-love and finding the confidence within and without. The group currently has a social media campaign called #ThoseRedlips encouraging people to share what makes them feel confident (stay tuned for the our video)! So take a listen and find out how trusting the process and relinquishing fear can lead to infinite possibilities.

Grueling schedules, late night studio sessions, cheap eats, and "fine" spirits has led to a lot of health problems for many artists within the music industry. On this week’s episode we discuss the impact of veganism within the hip hop community with plant-based celebrity chef, author, and wellness influencer Chef Ahki. Chef Ahki has cooked for many musical artists and is a pioneer of the Electric Food Movement which encourages its followers to eat non hybrid, wild, and alkaline foods. Her mission is to help others live a healthy lifestyle by "cooking to cure". During our discussion, Chef Ahki talks about veganism within music and how this important evolution promotes holistic activism. She even made a cameo in the music video for the viral hit "Vegan Thanksgiving" by Grey, who happens to be a vegan rapper. Growing up in Oklahoma before moving to Texas (she is now based in Atlanta), Chef Ahki speaks on her Midwestern upbringing and how the family garden influenced her relationship with food. We also talk keeping supportive friends close, the best ways to transition to a vegan lifestyle, and how the chef used to sing back up for Miss Lauryn Hill! She has definitely lived a electric life. To find out more about veganism and the hip hop movement, take a listen to the episode. It is a treat for your ears.

On this week’s episode, we discuss Nicki Minaj’s new album QUEEN. Unlike previous episodes we decided to spice things up a bit. We prerecorded our projections before them album was released. Just our opinions based on her single releases thus far. You know the songs Chung Li and Barbie Tingz. Sounds familiar?? Then we recorded our final thoughts two weeks after the album was released. Since Nicki has been all over the headlines lately we tackled everything! The Chixx disused the controversial Forbes magazine article where writer Bryan Rolli, criticize the album rollout. If you didn’t read the article, he basically read her for filth in the most intellectual way possible. (Yikes!!) Let’s just say the Barb’s or even Nicki herself may find their way to our DM… Don’t worry we stay ready… (hahaha) But seriously, do you think this album was flop or bop?? Tune in and share your thoughts.
