adversity, overcoming homelessness, overcoming addiction. And, you know, he raps, not rap,
he sings about love, the love that he found for himself. And now he projects that on the other
people. I freaking love Kim. My mother used to wake up and wake us up to clean up to Anita
Baker and Kim. That first album, Chemistry, that's how I know every single song, Front
back forwards, whatever, because my mother
blasted this man through the house
growing up. I was at your comedy show,
your mom was like, when y'all going to have Kim up there?
Did you say that for real? He is
always lying. Your mom would be nice to talk
to this man. What you mean?
She did say that to me, okay?
You know, I didn't know who Kim was.
Oh, man.
There's a lot of people that didn't know who Kim was.
You're a ridiculous person.
I forgot all about Ken.
Matter of fact, I didn't know who he was.
Since I started in radio as
the 93 jams in Charleston.
Kim was one of the first people
that I even heard about
because he would be on
every single show
all the time.
You're just not black
and every day
you come into this radio station
to prove how black
you are not.
I did not know who it was

A weather update on Hurricane Aaron
So a tropical storm warning has been lifted
For parts of the East Coast as Hurricane Aaron
moves away from the U.S. Now the warning
spans from North Carolina to
to the northern coast of Virginia
and it was discontinued on Thursday night.
Now, Aaron is a large storm with maximum sustained winds of 100 miles per hour right now,
and is over 400 miles northeast of Cape Hatteras.
Swimming at most East Coast beaches has been advised against,
as forecasters predict potentially life-threatening surf and rip currents over the next several days.
States and emergency, excuse me, have been declared in some areas of New Jersey and North Carolina.
In fact, New Jersey, it seems to be experiencing massive flooding.
on the Jersey shore where coastal warnings have been issued ahead of the hurricane.
So New Jersey and North Carolina, prayers to you for those impacts.
Those of you have been impacted by the storm, but it seems like we are, for the most part,
in the clear regarding Hurricane Aaron.
That's amazing. Oh, my God.
Yeah, so in other news, President Trump met with law enforcement yesterday at the U.S.
Park Police facility in Southeast Washington, D.C. that's also located in Ward 8,
where the White House claims most of the non-immigration arrest took place.
The administration has also referred to that area as the slums, but I'm not going to get too much into that.
So Trump thanked the officers for cooperating with the federal takeover of the city and as part of his crime crackdown.
And he said that crime has been down since the operation began.
Let's take a listen to his comments from yesterday afternoon.
We're not playing games.
We're going to make it safe.
And we're going to then go on to other places.
But we're going to stay here for a while.
We want to make this absolutely perfect.
It's our capital.
and I guess it used to be many years ago, say,
but it's certainly not had a very good run.
And you've got to be strong, you've got to be tough,
you've got to do your job.
So I just wanted to thank you all you're doing incredible.
You're incredible people.
You make the country run, frankly.
You make the whole place run.
We're going to have the best capital ever.
Yeah, so shortly after the president spoke,
people flooded the streets uptown, D.C.,
for a Defend D.C. rally at 14th and U Street Northwest.
Now, Justin Yada Johnson, who I think should be on the show,
you guys should bring him up.
He's actually the part, one of the organizers
of the Don't Mutute D.C. movement.
He said, while we are enduring what we're enduring
with the surge and feds,
we can utilize this moment to uplift the community
to have our voice heard.
He went on to say, people cannot live in fear,
and that's what I see our community doing right now.
So we have to continue to curate these spaces
so they can feel safe.
And the Don't Mute D.C. movement
just has people take the streets
you know go go floods the streets it's just
kind of like a big party it used to be called
Mochella but for obvious reasons you can see why
that name is no longer so
yeah because that's actually really said like
what they're doing to the homeless people
cut knee tent slice knee tents up
dragging them and you know
you have nowhere for them to go
that's really sad we were talking
all four cleaning up homelessness
and everything like that but have somewhere for them
to go we was talking about this yesterday
because just bought this point up in the room and
she said what you just said
and I was thinking like yo that was the initial
call to action from President Trump
the initial call to action was we got to clean the homelessness
up in D.C. And then that
all of a sudden turned into this you know tough on
crime thing. Yeah. But I'm wondering
if they just did the tough on crime thing to be able to just
push all of the homeless people up. Right.
Well, you heard in the president's remarks. The criminalized
their their homelessness.
He said he comes to other cities so
you know, take heed. But that's your front page news
for 6 a.m. at 7 a.m.
What? Like a homeless tour?
well he said he's like he getting on like he getting all of the homeless people out of America
or be under the guys that's a tough on crime tour yeah it'll be a tough on crime tour

She gets to me in the email.
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
She'd be having the latest on.
The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit every time.
Well, it's the latest.
On the breakfast club.
Talk to me.
So Lil Nas X has been arrested after and possibly OD'd.
This happened Thursday, so yes, or Thursday at 4 a.m., he was roaming around the streets of L.A.,
and there's a video that a person who was riding down the street recorded of him that TMZ obtained.
Let's take a listen to the video of Little Nod's X.
Nah, no, hey, don't be late to the party tonight.
Where at?
You know where it's at.
Uh-oh, somebody's going to have to pay for that.
Dach, yeah, duh.
Hey, four of us coming to the party.
La la la.
Yes, I am serving you, I am serving you.
And you better be at that party tonight.
Yes, give my good side.
Ha, ha, ha.
Every side.
Yeah.
Yes.
Sean Bankhead told me that home.
to them?
No.
Woo!
You want you to give it to me, baby?
That's going to be a beautiful sunrise.
Give me that phone so I can throw it.
I want to throw it far away so you'll never see it again.
I don't like phones.
Don't miss the party tonight.
Why are you still here?
You need to be telling everybody about the party, girl.
What's your problem?
Break it down, make it down, make it down.
See, you ain't breaking down for the people, though.
You ain't described to the people that the man was walking around a cowboy,
called the boots, and, uh...
and some tidy whiteys.
I was going to do it after,
but you're right,
I should have said it before.
But yeah,
so at 4 a.m.
Lounaz was strolling down the street
and he's, so he's in Studio City.
This is a popular street that he's on too.
It was empty as hell.
It was 4 o'clock in the morning.
Huh?
Was it Lassianica or what was it?
No, it was, I'll get the name in the street.
You don't know the name, though.
It's Lankrichisham.
Where all the dancers go to dance.
Okay.
Yes, so he was strolling down the street
and there's a guy riding by
who begins to record him.
Now, this guy records his video.
Yes, he's in a tidy whiteies.
in the cowboy boots.
There were also people who spotted him
who called LAPD and said,
hey, there's a nude man walking down the street.
He needs some help.
Why y'all ain't never did that
to the naked cowboy here in New York?
He was dressed just like the naked cowboy.
The only thing he didn't have it was a guitar.
Y'all ain't never called a police on the naked cowboy.
I was thinking the same thing.
Did he ever get to a point where he said nude?
And nude means totally like nothing.
Yes.
He'd be like, man, I missed that video.
That's the one I wanted to see.
I kept reading.
I kept Googling it.
He never came up.
You know, shut up, man.
Yes.
He's serious.
Trying to be.
right? So he did get to the point where
he was naked. So when police officers got
there, they tried to like basically like
get him and put him in like cuffs
and before they could get to him
he like charged at them but he stripped down naked
before he charged at him. So where they
were on, they were finally able to.
You see that video? No, for real because they got all
these other way that video way. We don't need to see that
I'll be honest with you. That's what?
Go ahead. No, I'm saying that's what I'm saying though
but we don't see none of that. We
only see this what 10 minute video
of him strolling down the street.
It saddens me that I see this video
and the first thing I think to myself is publicity stunt.
Okay, I'm not saying it is.
I don't know if it is.
I'm just saying that because it's Little Nas X
and how everything seems like a rollout nowadays to me,
it feels like a publicity.
Getting arrested though?
Yeah.
Where's the video at?
Where's the mug shot?
Where's the mug shot?
Well, hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait.
So TMZ has confirmed
and I'm going to reach out because he's still in jail.
He's in jail and vane eyes.
He's been held without no bell.
Having a good time.
I'm joking about it.
Sorry.
Oh, man.
He's been held without no belt.
And probably, y'all are...
Please keep me.
You don't let me.
You don't let me go.
They said when they came to the rest of me, he charged at him.
Like, he was ready to be.
He was like, yes.
Y'all fatherly show you.
Y'all.
What if this was like a mental breakdown?
You're right.
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right.
But if it's not, we got all bases covered.
Yeah.
You're right.
He never do nothing like this before to promote a home.
He has.
He has.
But the only reason why.
I'm like trying to give him a little bit of like
Grace here is because the police
are the people who said based on
whatever they saw this would be
potential. He went to the hospital, got treated
and then he was arrested. I have no problem
apologizing after the fact. I'm just telling you
for what I see right now, just don't feel
real. And it's his fault
because of the things that we've seen him do
in the past. So when I see it now
I'm like damn
this could be a publicity stuff. Yeah.
So it's like little boy cry wolf. Think that what it is?
Yeah. Yeah. The boy cry wolf. Yeah.
Where's the mugshot?
Where's the video of him getting arrested?
Where's the video?
Butt-necked charging the police?
Y'all got everything else, but y'all don't got that?
All of that.
And then he said Charlemagne.
He said Sean Bankhead.
He said Sean Bankhead.
Yes.
Let me hear it.
Sean Bankhead taught me that.
Yes, Sean Bankhead.
I thought he said, Charlemagne.
And he didn't look down-trodden.
He didn't look rather?
I mean, he might be...
He didn't look down-trodden.
Like, he didn't look...
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
Like, he don't look like down, like depressed.
I mean, it wasn't given overdose.
but we don't know if he did what drug he overdosed on it could be it was given it could be given high
and then the person who recorded him recorded him all that time right like just recorded it
I mean just him by itself you know what I'm saying him ain't no other angle from nobody and you were
just out there in the middle of the night what they say was like 3 o'clock in the morning or something
4 a.m. 4 a.m and this person is like recording him the whole time walk for blocks and blocks and
blocks as well
because that walk was a walk
he walked for a little
minute and he pumped down I'm not saying
it's a publicity stunt I don't know
I'm just saying because it's little
Nas X it makes me feel like it is
now I hope it's not
I would hope nobody would play like this I would hope
nobody would play about having a mental
breakdown I would hope nobody would play about having a
drug overdose I would hope nobody would play about being
arrested but you just never know nowadays
yeah you never know in his history
of doing things like this does not help him in that's right
That's right.
Well, I will say that there is now another video.
There's no sound or anything to it.
But earlier that day around like 1.30 p.m. or earlier Wednesday,
there's a video now of him in a hotel called Shirt Stories Hotel in L.A.,
and he's just wandering aimlessly around the hotel.
And then he heads out and he takes his shirt off, and he's just wandering, like, off from the hotel.
Who got that video?
TMZ also has that video as well.
Why do you want all these videos?
Go ahead.
No, shut up.
I'm trying to figure out if this is trying to piece this together here.
So they fit.
So what they're saying is that whatever this episode was, it began earlier that day.
And I mean, he, I remember I showed you, I showed Charlie May yesterday a video from his Instagram, huh?
Well, then he'd get high again.
I mean, what kind of drug is that?
He did that earlier.
Yeah, well, they were trying to say it was, it was drugs, but like, what was he on?
How could he have been high that long?
We don't know yet.
We don't know any of the details yet.
But I'm sure things will come out.
Well, if he had some type of mental breakdown, if he had some type of drug episode,
So we're definitely sending them healing energy.
But I'm just saying because it's little Nas X
and the things that we've seen in the past,
it feels like a publicity.
Not going to jail, but we'll see if you.
We don't even know.
We ain't with the jail.
You do not know.
These little millennials, man.
I mean, or Gen Z, whatever he is,
they will do anything to show these records
to push these tracks, whatever.
Include and go to jail.
And they didn't say he overdosed.
They said it's a suspected overdose.
It's impossible.
Possible.
But they took him.
Now here's a telltale sign, too.
They took him to the hospital to be.
be treated and then he was released
to jail he wasn't released he's still in custody
and they took him to jail so whatever
that drug situation
yes so but it so if it was I mean
he was released he would have stayed but I do
believe though because the the
he was charged with a battery on a peace
officer right that's a misdemeanor
police officer there well it's a police officer but a peace
officer someone I think who comes when something like
this is happening and it's trying to calm you down
so then that you can be like that type of thing
but I was saying that because it's a misdemeanor
but they're holding him without bail so to me that
a little eye.
It's like, holding them without bail for a misdemeanor?
That's what I'm saying.
So, like, I'm trying to figure out what this is.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, I'm going to try and call in eyes
and see what's going on
because it's a misdemeanor.
Well, we shouldn't jump to conclusions,
but then we wouldn't be a radio show
if we didn't, okay?
This is what it's Spock.

December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport.
The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys.
Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed.
There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal.
Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal glass.
The injured were being loaded into ambulances.
Just a chaotic, chaotic scene.
In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay.
Terrorism.

Now you know with Noah de Barroso is a show about influence.
Who's got it, how they use it, and what it means for the rest of you.
It's not the news.
It's what the news should be if someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha made it.
And I'm watching everything.
The majority of the youth, 18 through 24, say they trust Republicans more than
Democrats to front the economy.

When I became a journalist,
I was the first Latina in the
newsrooms where I worked. I'm Maria
Inogosa. I dreamt of having a place
voices that have been historically sidelined would instead be centered.
For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place.
This is Latino USA, the Radio Journal of News and Cultura.
As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States,
Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us.
From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news,
they're creating these narrative that immigrants are criminals.
This is about everyone.
freedom of speech.
Nobody expected to
popes from the American continent
to stories about our cultures
and our identities.
When you do get a trans character
like Imira Perez,
the trans community is going to push back on that.
Colorism, all of these things
that exist in Mexican culture
and Latino culture.
You'll hear from people like
Congresswoman, AOC.
I don't want to give them my fear.
I'm not going to give them my fear.

which is content right
we have to suggest all angles
I mean discuss all angles
and I will to your point
little nice X is fair a lot of people
who are talking about this are
having the same questions y'all are
so all right well that is
the latest with Alarin now when we
come back we got some front page news
so don't go anywhere it's the breakfast club good morning
you're checking out the breakfast
club morning everybody
is DJ NVV just
Calaria, Sholomey and the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front-page news. What's up, Morgan?
Hey, y'all. Hey, so let's talk about what's happening in California. First, it was Texas this week.
Now, next week, it looks like we'll be following what's going on in California with the Democrats moving forward with their own redistricting efforts.
Now, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the measure on Thursday that calls for a special election aiming to redraw state maps that would most likely give Democrats five additional House seats.
Newsom says Democrats will take over the U.S. House.
in the 2026 midterm elections.
Let's take a listen to his comments.
They fired the first shot, Texas.
We wouldn't be here at Texas, not done what they just did.
Donald Trump didn't do what he just did.
We got here because of his failed policies.
Those are being exposed hour by hour,
reinforced today by Walmart announcing they'll be raising prices
because of the tax increases because of the tariffs.
Because when all things are equal,
we're all playing by the same set rules,
there's no question.
that the Republican Party will be the minority party in the House of Representatives next year.
So the statewide vote will be held in November.
California's redistricting push comes as Texas Republicans move closer to finalizing their own reworked district.
Now, on the other side of the aisle, California Republicans are vowing to fight Governor Newsom's attempt at redistricting.
Assembly Minority Leader James Gallagher says it's wrong for any state to allow politicians to draw congressional district lines.
Let's take a listen from him.
The governor says they're fighting fire with fire.
Well, the problem when you fight fire with fire is you burn it all down.
Because if we continue down this road, other states will do the same thing.
And the only people who will be hurt are the people and their ability to be represented,
something that is fundamental to our American experiment.
Right?
Let's take away the corruption from these seats.
Because we've already heard, it's been reported, that some may have influenced how those lines were drawn so they could run for Congress.
Yes, so California State Republicans, of course, are backing Representative Kevin Kiley's House bill that would prohibit mid-decade mid-decade redistricting nationwide.
Meanwhile, in Texas, plans to redraw the congressional boundaries in Texas, which have passed the State House, are now heading towards the Senate.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has vowed to sign that bill, and he's also calling for legislation to impose penalties or punishments for those legislators who are willfully absent from any legislative session.
So I'll keep you guys posted on that.
And in case you missed it this week, Homeland Security Secretary, Christy Noam, says the entire southern border wall will be painted black.
Now, Noam made the announcement earlier this week, I believe Tuesday, at a press briefing near El Paso, and says President Trump is making good on his promise to secure the border and crack down on illegal immigration.
Let's take a listen to her comments.
That is specifically at the request of the president who understands that in the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black, it gets even warmer.
and it will make it even harder for people to climb.
Today, we have the most secure U.S. border that we've ever had in the history of this nation.
Now, Homeland Security Secretary Noam says the funds for the painting were allocated in the massive spending bill
that was already passed earlier this year and that the pace of the painting is currently a little bit less than a half of a mile a day.
So that's what's happening on our southern border.
And I'm just going to go ahead and wrap things up because it's Friday.

let's say, relationship in the past.
I never met Sierra before.
I never met Sierra.
I never had a conversation with Sierra.
You never met her?
Not that I remember.
I don't think we ever met each other.
She never met each other.
That's why he was running your mouth like that back in a day.
I used to definitely sland the Sierra back in the day.
Yes.
Harsh, very harsh.
And that's why I hope that people's donkey,

All right
All right
When we come back
CCC Sierra will be here
It's the Breakfast Club
Good morning
The Breakfast Club

before the star i just got my daughter sent a message to you charlemagne was the message
so the other day my daughters were dancing and they my youngest one sent me a text that said i met sierra
she spelled the s i e r a and i was like i don't know who that is i said you mean
The singer dancer, Sierra, she was like, yes.
I said, go tell them that my dad knows you.
So she went and you were very nice, and she danced for you and everything.
Oh, my gosh.
But she came back with a message.
She was like, Dad, Sierra said, make sure that you and Charlemagne are very nice to her when she comes on the show.
And then she says, why are you and Charlemagne not nice to her?
Oh, God.
I was like, that was so long.
So now you got a problem in your household.
Let me tell you, your daughter is insane.
Both you have two daughters, am I right?
They are incredibly ingifted.
Oh, thank you.
Like, I'm telling you right now, like, I mean this,
I know something special when I see it.
Them little girls are special.
I'm telling you, it's insane.
Like, my daughter's seeing it was there watching them,
and I love that she was seeing a girl that looked like her
watching your daughters do what they were doing,
and I think they hadn't been doing it for too long.
Two years.
No, no, no.
If it was Salson, they're Dominican.
It's in their DNA.
No, they were doing gymnastics,
and they had two different styles of dancing.
of dancing. They both showed us their shows. They were preparing for some performance.
Yeah, for the next season. I haven't seen their dances yet because I want to see it the first
time it goes out. No, no, no. You got something special going on. They get busy.
Tell you right now. So it was beautiful to see.
You know what? I love seeing it just because when I go on these dance competitions,
it's very rarely black fathers or black kids dancing. When they get on stage and they get
busy, like they practice all day long. That's all they do. And they get busy. And it's so
crazy to see people saying,
like pointing at them and them winning
because that's my best thing
the DJ and this is cool
but going to see them dance
it's like it's special
thank you so much
I literally went home and told Russ
I said babe these girls
because we're new to New York
so I'm trying to figure out
the places for our kids to
get active and do what they love doing
and I'm like that was so powerful
to see and especially because again
the girls look my daughter
they look like my daughter
and she gets to see that so
yeah you should be proud
but don't be coming in crazy
I mean, like your daughter's sitting on.
I'm ready for whatever with you all this morning.
What I mean to you?
What I mean?
Are you dumb?
Listen.
I'm really asking.
I don't remember.
That was a good question.
Oh, you don't remember.
Listen, you know what?
When you got your energy in a certain place,
you can't remember everything crazy that someone does to your says about you.
But I definitely would always remember Charlemagne along the way in my journey coming up as an artist.
But, you know, Charlemagne was being Charlemagne.
I was on drugs
That's a lot
You were not on damn drugs
You were just ugly back then
And don't try to act like that
You know that was not drug that was you
I went back down
Some of the pipeline and we won't say it
But I think you owe her an apology
Because you was crazy
Absolutely
You said you went down
Diddy's pipeline and what happened
Wait what did you say
You all are crazy
What did you say?
Diddy didn't come up
I didn't say nothing about Diddy's pipeline
Listen I have
If I did do anything
That really offended you
And hurt you in any way
Sierra I do apologize
sincerely, but I really, I'm not even joking
when I say, I really don't remember everything.
Don't play the audio, we got to.
No, no, you know, I'm not doing that.
Like, you know, that type of time.
I only remember one thing, I really do.
You remember one thing? What, do you want to say the one thing?
It was what I used to say, Rihanna had the Navy,
Beyonce had the Beehive, and Sierra had the crick.
Oh, my love.
That's the only thing I personally remember.
That's crazy, well.
Crick is a chirping loud, ain't they?
They don't sure all, because they're still here.
We're still here.
Well, how are you feeling?
I'm feeling amazing.
I'm feeling real blessed.
Feeling real blessed.
Feeling excited.
This is release week.
So it's kind of, it's crazy.
I've been doing it independently, so it's a beast.
Like, I'm literally nonstop.
I'm like, I'm out here grinding like it's the 2000s right now.
So it's just, it's crazy.
I really feel excited, though.
I'm ready to get this project out, and I'm happy to be here.
How's your move to New York?
It's amazing.
You know, it's different when you come to New York.
You know, it's one thing to come as a performance.
but to come here, you know, to live, like, it's a whole different, like, feeling.
Like, it's a whole different perspective.
And then also seeing New York through our kids' eyes, it's really cool, you know.
You know, Siena was, we were preparing the clothes that we were packing.
And Siena had this really fancy pink outfit.
And she goes, I said, Cici Mama, that's a lot going on.
She's like, mom, we go to New York.
You know?
So then she's ready.
She's like, what we doing, you know?
But to be able to be here with our family, obviously football is.
It's the reason why we're here.
It's exciting, you know, but it's, New York feels more calm from this perspective.
Because I think if, like, you're a visitor, like, New York is like bright lights, all this.
But now it's like, okay, wait, how are we going to survive?
What are we going to be doing?
Like, how are we going to live?
Like, hold perspective, but I love it.
We love our date nights here, the food.
They say, you'll never have enough food in a lifetime eating in New York.
So I've been loving the restaurant options.
There's so many.
I didn't realize how.
much community that has grown the communities that are creative have grown here like with
playgrounds and stuff there's so many playgrounds but you only see that because now i have kids
so i say differently so i'm just excited everything you need it you want to find is right here the
beauty supplies like everything is all here so i'm excited i won't say it's calm now until the giants
start losing shut that's why i feel like russell deserves better like seriously the giants
are going to be terrible no they're not let me tell you let me tell you
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, let me tell you right now.
I love you dearly, but you can not look in me and tell me that the team of my husband's going to be on is going to be terrible.
I'm just not going to allow that.
You can feel what you want to feel, though.
It's all good.
His Cowboys are trash.
And I understand, listen, I understand, you know, the history that franchises, they evolve and they go through things, but we're going to speak life over here.
I don't know.
I speak life over with Russ.
I think he's going to have a great season.
The Giants, though?
Nah.
Nah, John's a lot.
Sorry, right, you can feel how you feel how you feel, but it's going to be great.
We're going to be good.
Is there a part of you that ever wants him to retire?
No.
I want for him to do it when he wants to do it,
but I think he still has a great story to tell.
You know, he's been so fortunate to, you know,
I've done all that he's done and, you know, defy many odds.
And so I think he's still got a lot more amazing football left in him.
And so I'm just excited, you know, to support him.
But whenever he wants to do that, you know, it's organized chaos in our house,
you know, because his world goes, my world goes.
So it's like a really, like, craft,
of schedules to make everything like, you know, work and make sense, but we're having fun
right now and I really love football too, so I enjoy it. I enjoy watching him do his thing.
Sometimes people say, like, you know, Sierra has more headlines for her relationship than her
music. Does that bother you or do you just lean into it? No, I think people aren't taught
to what they feel. I mean, that's up to you and what you want to feel, but I'm not her living.
You know, I'm living my life and I, I mean, a part of living in front of the world is people,
You're going to be open to people that have opinions.
But that's all right.
You're entitled to it.
You know, so I don't really worry about those things because I am doing a lot.
I am a mom.
I am a wife.
I am an entrepreneur.
I am an artist.
So you're going to say many things about me and that's all good.
We're still kicking in with Sierra.
Jess.
You have been outside.
It's been great seeing you in these spaces where you dancing.
God grew up to you dancing.
And that's the thing.
You have not aged a bit, by the way.
Thank you.
You have really been like doing your thing when you come.
to promoting Cecee, right?
So let's get into the album.
Yeah.
The name of it is called Cecee.
And that's who you are.
That's my nickname.
It's personal to you, right?
So in this album, we're going to be getting an inside look on.
Yeah, so it's really more so just my token of appreciation.
You know, it's been 21 years as my first album, you know.
And so to be sitting here with the same passion and joy that I had as a little girl growing up,
starting off my career and to still be here with opportunity and it's still,
be, you know, fortunate to have some of the best fans in the world.
You know, when people see me in the streets, I say, well, hey, CC, I'd be like, hey, girl.
But it feels real personal when someone calls you by your nickname.
And my fans have done that.
And honestly, like I said, doing it independently, I would not be here if it wasn't for my fans.
I would not be here if I didn't have the love and support that I've had over the years.
And so it's just really a token of appreciation from me to my fans to give them this project,
but also, again, time and get back to Cece because that's what they call me.
It's real personal for me, but it really is, like, it's an attitude of gratitude.
Like, it's not easy to, you know, to stand tall and to be still going at this rate and to have the level of support that I've had is like, it's just such a blessing, you know, so you can't listen to the Charlemagne's of the world.
You know what I'm saying?
Because if you do, then you won't, you know what I'm saying?
You won't level up, right?
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
But do you like the independent route?
Because everything falls on you now.
It's no longer labels, no longer label pushing the record.
You got to go out there, kiss baby, shake hands.
You got to do all that.
No, it's amazing.
Listen, now, it's a grind.
Like I said, I'm ground like it's a 2000.
Like, we outside.
Like, I go from the stage to the classroom to the football field to support Russ to be here this morning with you guys.
And then I hit my son's teacher up to talk about his Spanish exam thing he has to do.
Like, it's nonstop.
But I love the independent route because, one, there's nothing better.
than own your master's right there's nothing better than ownership like you
think about the math of what it is for us as artists it is hard to do the
traditional route for a long time is to me it's not sustainable for long
term you know purposes so mathematically it's definitely much better but I
love that when I have an idea I can activate on it when I want you how I
want to and I may not get it right I may swing I may fail but I like my batting
average you know being able to do it my way and I've been very fortunate over the
years, even when I was signed in majors, all my big moments, I was like, this is the moment.
Like, I've always been that voice. I've always betted on myself, but now I get to reap my
full benefits of when I do take that big risk and make that big bet. So I like it this way,
it's like I said, it's not easy, but it's a good feeling though. I feel empowered, like more
than ever in my life. And also, too, you know, like where there's sync opportunities, like level
up is a song that keeps on giving. It's almost three times platinum. I don't know how many
billion streams with that song alone, I say it's a gift that keeps on giving because I get these
unique sync opportunities that just don't stop. And I don't have to go through these channels
for approval. I don't have to like get someone's like, you know, is this okay? Is it not?
It's like, no, I like it. I want to do it. Let's do it. You know? And so it's, it's a great
feeling. And I just want to remind you to I was on drugs and alcohol and a little bit ugly like
just said. I just want to keep stressing that thing.
He might have sipped a little something this morning
You know, he's covered in a hat.
Just to see the excitement in your face
When you talk about your music
Like, have you ever had a moment, right?
Where somebody played something for you?
But even the making of this album, right?
And you were like, eh, no.
Yeah, no, we have those moments
But it's funny because you know how you hear artists say
Like, they have hundreds of records?
I don't record tons of records.
I've never done that.
I've always been very intentional about the songs that I've written or record for my record.
So I don't have a lot of leftover records.
But if I start a record, I'm not feeling out.
I was just like, eh?
Like, nah, you know.
And sometimes you do get songs.
You're like, that's not for me.
So, yes, do I have those moments?
But I will say all in all, I'm lucky that I get to write on a lot of my records.
So, you know, if I'm not feeling the vibes, we're just going to cut it short, you know.
But, yeah.
Do you preview your music for hubby or your husband?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
He knows and sees everything.
Like, even when I'm, like, in the process of thinking about stuff,
you think about Rust that I don't think people know is, like,
he obviously is amazing on the field.
But his creative mind is, like, insane.
Like, he actually has really incredible ideas that he'll throw my way.
And, like, he's in it with me, which is so fun.
Russ don't seem like a dancing.
It doesn't seem like he's dancing.
Listen, I say he dances really nicely in the pocket.
Okay.
I get it?
You know what I'm saying?
but he actually has a nice little groove.
It was funny because the other night,
him and all the QBs,
he had invited the fellas to come out,
the QB room to come out,
and they were all jamming,
and, like, James was like,
Russ, I know you had that in you.
Like, you know, but he gives sauce a little bit,
you know, it's cute.
Question, and this is not how I feel,
so don't tell you about to me.
No, when you hear people say...
He's so funny,
can see you over there waiting, like,
just wait for just waiting.
No, not to be real.
Let me mess this up.
What do you want to ask?
When you hear people say Russell Wilson,
is corny. What's your honest
reaction? Oh my gosh. I don't
have to even reply
to that because, you know, like
that, why would I even
respond to that? You know what I'm saying? Like, I know
what I know and that's all that matters, but he's one of them
he is the most amazing human being you could know.
The smartest, most intelligent
black man that
I have ever known. You know,
and what you see
with him is really who he is.
You know, and so
it's beautiful, it's different
you know, but I don't
doesn't bother him though. That's it bother him because I
feel like he gets it because he takes care of
his wife. And we've had conversations up
here as men saying like I don't understand
why he's beat, why he gets called a simp
Well, I think it depends on who he loves
His wife. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, who's the
man saying it? Mm-hmm. Well, Channing
Crowder said it once. No, no, no, no, no. She was
the same same name. She was like, what kind of guy is saying it?
I'm not going to go down to specific lane because I'm
just saying who's the man saying it right it's like someone saying a person doesn't love someone
but have you ever love someone right have you ever been loved right so sometimes people to me speak
out of pocket because they just don't know so for me is versus being mad about it just like god bless
them you know like you know i'm saying like so yeah because it's obviously something that
they're lacking it's just you know everyone again everyone's in touch to their opinion but it's like you
don't we don't have to live i don't have to live my life to prove anything to anybody
body, right? And so I think, you know, sometimes, too, people have a perspective just because
of how they see life. And that just may be their way, but, you know, to me, too bad for them
if they want to live life a certain way and love people a certain way. Too bad for them.
Yeah, Atlanta, that wants to come out of you. Like, one time, like the Atlanta, just say,
yo, suck my from the back like that.
Like, that's New York. First of all, that's New York. In Atlanta, that's a good time.
Listen, listen, listen. Oh, my.
Gosh, you are silly.
Let me tell you, do I want to say stuff sometimes?
Absolutely, but is it worth it?
No.
What Michelle say, when they go low, we go.
Yeah, but you got to take it to hell with them too, though.
Yeah, but is it really worth the breath?
Like, you think, I think about how many people I've seen come and I've seen go when I'll leave it there.
So you're telling me, Sierra got a prayer, but she don't got to curse.
No.
She doesn't have to curse somebody out like?
She don't got a curse, no, but will she curse?
Yeah.
Yeah, you know
Pull up on me a certain way
I might pop out
But no, no, no, no, no
Honestly, I don't know, man
I'm, I don't know, I just
Or how I'm trying to live my life
It doesn't have space
For like a negativity
It just doesn't
Like you cannot
Like if you're trying to go to a certain height
That stuff is like down there
You know what I'm saying?
Like it's like wisdom has showed me
Like you ain't got to respond
People respond for you
like just watch those that have things to say about you just watch it like they'll respond for you
they'll do it to themselves you know what I'm saying we're still kicking it with Sierra
Lauren I was gonna say I saw that a lot people responding for you and taking up for you guys
when people were having a debate about Russ being a stepdad or not like early on and people
were like why is that an issue like why why is their family unit an issue for you a lot of people
had that conversation yeah you stayed quiet the whole time you handled that yeah you didn't got
talk about that
You know, there's beauty and love.
It all comes back to love.
I think people, when they talk about that type of stuff,
they forget about what matters the most in the situation.
It's the child, right?
It's not about the adult conversation of it all.
Is the child being loved, how they should be loved?
That's all that matters.
Obviously, I know, like, the beauty and a blended family, right?
There's no greater feeling than my kids all feeling together
and waking up and feeling love the same.
that is a blessing, you know.
So, and I think that every child deserves to feel, you know, that kind of love that I get to see my kids have.
You know, and so, you know, I think when things are new to people, it just creates great conversation.
But sometimes conversation is great, you know, because sometimes conversation also opens up things for people to really talk about things that they probably wouldn't talk about, right?
You know, maybe, like I said, at my time when I was a single mom, I think a lot of women were able to see my journey to be able to be like,
You know, just me finding my way as a woman, right?
And I thank God that he's blessed me with this special love that I have.
But I think there's like, again, it goes back to like, why do I have this platform, right?
It's like if I can inspire someone in any kind of way, like that to me is success, right?
And so I think oftentimes you don't know what that's like until you're in that position, right?
And you're like, oh, this is my life.
Like, okay, let me figure this out.
But I mean, it's a gift when, you know, I think woman can know, like life doesn't stop.
at a situation for you right you know life can't evolve and grow how you want it to and as it relates
to families and men right there's a difference between boys and men okay and to me men love a certain
way they they have a certain standard of how they love and choose to love and do things you know
and I feel blessed that when I look at my husband that standard is like it's top tier right
it's like my dad's love right that's the truest love I've known from a man you know and
And so to see that is such a blessing, but I love that my kids when they look up at each other and, you know, future out him, him in a moral art, like our baby girl, like he's the sweetest with her or Siena and just how it win and how they all interact with each other is love.
That's all that matters, right?
So conversation is good, though, sometimes.
It opens up things and hopefully it helps others.
I would like to say that is the most perfect pointy tale I've ever seen.
Oh, my God.
It's moving like Dr. Strange Cape.
You know, Dr. Strange Cape moves with him.
No.
I'm saying like, Dr. Strange.
What is that?
Dr. Strange.
What is that?
Marmar.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Had a life of its own.
So it's like certain times when you talk.
It's in its own world.
It's like, it's moving with your emotions.
It's nice.
It's nice.
It's good.
It's unbelievable.
But I want to ask you,
you said something earlier that made me think about something.
Do you think black women in entertainment are allowed to evolve gracefully?
Or do we only celebrate them when they're like young and messily?
No, man.
I think um do I think people like when people are sad yeah but I think about like you know
women that are rocking it like think you know people do celebrate you you know I think
as a community though you know just outside of artistry I do think that the more we can
support each other the better we will be and I think historically because of what we've
been through like historically as a culture as a race you can
to go my, my, mind, mind.
Your condition to like, you don't want to share so much.
And what I've noticed in my communities
of friends sometimes that don't look like me,
they will call me and be like, hey, Sierra,
do you need help with,
how can I help you?
Right? That's a very common question I get asked.
You know, and I feel blessed to have the friends that I do.
And it makes me want to do that for people that look like me.
Because we need that.
need that like it's a real thing like think about just like why we always be fighting crazy in our
communities like we have more fights I think you know and again I could be wrong but just the
culture of us like we got we got that rah-rah like it's just in us and I think there's something
about history that's predispositioned us that way where it's like how do we evolve like together
like how do we eat together right like it's a real thing like my I feel very blessed at the
friend circles that I do um and like
You know, it's like Jewish community.
Like, the way that they, like, rock with each other is crazy and amazing.
Like, the Latino communities, like, the way they rock is, like, beautiful.
Like, by the way, I'm blexican.
Like, I'm learning my Spanish, so I say I'm, like, black and Mexican.
I love that.
Yeah, yeah, I love that.
Yeah, my daughter is her black skin.
It's our birthday today.
Yeah.
Come on.
She don't know.
Uh, she don't know it.
Oh, she don't know that?
Okay, it's all right.
It's all right.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Ola.
Okay.

December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport.
The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys.
Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed.
There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal.
Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal, glass.
The injured were being.
Loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic, chaotic scene.
In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay.
Terrorism.
Law and Order Criminal Justice System is back.
In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight.
That's harder to predict and even harder to stop.

I'm Noah. I'm 13, and as you might have seen from the news,
I got a podcast, and I explain those fake headlines like your uncle would,
like your cousin would if he actually did the research.
Honestly, adults don't ask the right questions.
Now you know with Noah DeBaroso is a show about influence.
Who's got it, how they use it, and what it means for the rest of you.
It's not the news.
It's what the news should be,
someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha made it.
When I'm watching everything.
Sheesh.
The majority of the youth, 18 through 24, say they trust Republicans more than Democrats from the economy.
You kidding.
Politics is wild and I'm definitely not here to pay it, but I'm here to make sense of it.
Just what's happening, why it matters, and what it means for us.
Bring your brain.

When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked.
I'm Maria Inojosa.
I dreamt of having a place where voices that have been historically sidelined would instead
be centered.
For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place.
This is Latino USA, the Radio Journal of News and Cultura.
As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers
the stories that truly matter to all of us.
From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news,
they're creating this narrative that immigrants are criminals.
This is about everyone's freedom of speech.
Nobody expected to popes from the American continent
to stories about our cultures and our identities.
When you do get a trans character like Imidavidez,
the trans community is going to push back on that.
Colorism, all of these things like exist in Mexican culture
in Latino culture.
You'll hear from people
like Congresswoman, AOC.
I don't want to give them my fear.
I'm not going to give them my fear.
Listen to Latino USA
as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network,
available on the IHeart Radio app,

Very bien, it's too?
Oh, okay.
No, no, no.
Don't play with me.
Solomon is very loco.
Very loco, yes, yes, yeah.
You got a p-a-oh.
No.
That was a curse.
That was a curse.
No, but you think about that love, right?
Let's lift each other up, like, in our big moments.
Like, let's celebrate, like, celebrate each other.
Let's not even, like, don't worry about, you know.
I think sometimes you can get, like, a little distracted if you don't feel like things
are moving at the pace you want them to.
But it's like, celebrate the next one.
Like, your time's going to come.
The more we can do that together, the more we win.
I want to know what the conversation was with you and Rihanna when y'all patched it up.
Oh, so sweet.
What did that look like in 2025?
I don't say patch it up.
Like, it wasn't.
like a patch up conversation but you know
we actually started at the Met Gala
and it was her
ASAP, me and Russ
and we were all just chatting it up
and you know talking about kids
and Mo Kids
and just like normal you know
just like girls would do
so that was really sweet you know
it was the best energy
you know and CeC got love
for Riri
so you didn't even bring up the old stuff
you don't even bring on your future
it's so hard yeah it's like babies
you know she you are now yeah she sent me this really sweet message like a while ago before we saw
each other and she was like saying i'm so proud of you you know and i thought that was so so sweet
um you know for her to say that and i really respect her like i admire what she's doing and what
she's done like i remember us meeting each other for the first time you know as babies and you know
i started a little before her but to see how she's like leveled up and like built her empire like to do
that in our industry is not easy
and she's, you know, putting
on for Barbados, as she would say,
in such a big way. And I think
us women were just like, you know,
we're women, you know, and like
groan, like, you know, so it's all that
kind of energy. Yeah. But that thump
thugging on Twitter used to be fun to watch. Oh,
my gosh. I remember when I got punched in the back of the head
and Sierra had a field day.
How did we're kidding.
Twitter has those tweets.
You remember that? I don't remember that because I was laughing because I'm
Like, you know what?
I deserve it.
And she was like, I bet you're in Medita's.
You ain't used the Meditas dad, because I don't need it's that day.
Listen, you got to get Charlottelmaid with something.
Because this man right here.
Was you still getting high and ugly back then?
Yeah, definitely getting high back then.
Oh, yeah.
Definitely, yeah.
Yeah, no, listen, you got to, listen, the Charlemains of the world, I tell you, you don't forget them.
That's what I do, though.
You don't forget them.
And you'd be like, just let something, if something, not let something,
But if something happened, you'd be ready to be like, hey, uh-huh.
Wooden crickets now.
Yeah, wooden crickets and now.
Actually, I see the crickets and they ain't saying nothing.
What is in my last question?
If you script away all the titles, you know, superstar, wife, mom, who is Sierra at her core today?
She a bouse.
Love that.
Yeah, no, she a bouse.
No, I mean, I say a woman of an ambitia.
on a mission.
Oh, that's always my jam.
She's just trying to figure it all out.
You know, just trying to grind every day, figure it out.
She's a woman.
I'm a woman that loves to serve.
I love to give and I love to live.
Mm-hmm.
Well, let's get into a joint off the album.
What you want to hear?
Let's go.
Okay, we're gonna play this song that I'm excited about.

Ladies and gentlemen, next time you see my daughter tell her we was nice.
Oh my gosh, I'm gonna tell her.
Because she was on me.
She's so cute.
She said, I think you know my dad.
And I said, DJ Amby, I was like, yeah, I know your dad.
I was like, oh my God.
And they showed out, I was like, that might not be your dad.
I definitely can't dance like.
I definitely can't.
No, I'm messing with him.
I'm messing with you.
It's Sierra.
They look black.
That can't be Ambik.
Shut up, man.
Pick up the new Al-C-C-C out today.
Yeah.
The Sierra, it's the breakfast club.
Good morning.
This morning, everybody.
It's DJNV.
Jess Lari.
Shalamey and the guy.
We are the breakfast club.
Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren becoming a straight fan.
Tell us, man.
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
She gets the details.
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
She'd be having the latest on this.
The latest with Lauren La Rosa.
Sometimes she has facts.
Sometimes she has details.
Sometimes she have a little bit of everything.
Well, it's the latest.
On the breakfast club.
Talk to me.
So yesterday, Hernandez Govan, who prosecutors are calling the mastermind behind Young Doff's murder, was found not guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
A jury deliberated for a little under three hours, and then Govan was let free to go.
Why?
Why?
What was your reason?
So they basically looked at the communications that were submitted by the government, which were like text messages and phone calls and said that there wasn't any evidence there that linked.
Govind to being the person that set
this whole thing up, offered to pay the money
after they took the alleged money that was on the streets
to kill anybody from people around entertainment.
Basically, they're saying that the government didn't do
a good job of proving that case.
There's that go.
So, yeah, so they're saying
they didn't prove the case. What they were
alleging was that Govind was the person who
actually heard about the hit from
their legend that was from
Juk, who is Yogadi's older brother that passed
away, and that he then
called these two younger guys,
and Justin Johnson and said, look, if y'all do the hit on anybody from Paperout Entertainment,
I'll split the money with y'all a certain way.
And then according to Justin, I'm not Justin, but according to Cornelius, who was actually like the star, like, testifier or testifier witness in this case,
he says that Govan actually was a person that even put him onto this.
He said he didn't know that there was a hit.
He said that he didn't know anything about this and that he had never spoken anybody outside of this besides Govan,
but they're saying that he didn't prove the case.
Govyn's attorneys are saying that all that was a lie
and that Justin, not Justin, but
Cronellia is just a person that is testifying
because he wants to go home. He wants to get lesser charges as well
and that originally he had claimed that he had spoken
to Duke to get the money and to do this whole thing.
But to answer your question, they're just saying that they didn't do a good job
proving her case.
I'll tell you what, if I was that guy, I wouldn't stay in Memphis.
That's what he said yesterday.
Yes.
Because even though a court of law found him,
you know, not guilty if the streets think he guilty.
Yeah, you know, the street's going to do what they do.
I wouldn't stay in Memphis if I was him.
Well, he took, so.
I was thinking he said.
Yeah, Hernandez-Govern after court and his attorneys spoke to press about that.
They spoke to ABC 24 Memphis.
Let's take a listen.
This is what your justice is in Memphis.
So if you're black and poor, you got a problem.
So this is, Mr. Gauvin, how do you feel?
You have this stress taken off your shoulders?
Yeah, and have my life back.
What is the first thing you plan to do?
Go hood, my son.
Mr. Govane, you, you have a little.
smile all this week but obviously you have a lot to smile about just tell me what you're
feeling in right now it's kind of hard to explain the feeling of getting your life back i'm just i'm just
blessed and i'm just ready to go see my son what was going through your head when you were waiting
for the verdict this morning nervousness but i got a team around me that was very confident and supportive
so without them it wouldn't be no hope i just want to thank again man robert haley belth
houndall you heard your attorney say if you're black and poor in Memphis this is what happens
Who would be your words of advice?
Leave Memphis.
Damn.
Do you plan on leaving Memphis, sir?
Of course.
I think his lawyer did it for pro long.
His lawyer did it for free, right?
I thought I read that too.
Yeah, I saw that, yes.
Because he didn't have a lot of resources,
and they felt like the attorney said,
because sat in jail for, I believe, was nine months,
and the attorney said that they felt like the jury
felt empathy for him because he didn't have resources
and the media.
Because of the heightened media around this case,
they felt that the jury looked at it
and said, you have this person with no resources,
is that there isn't really strong evidence against.
So we're going to let them walk.
And because the jury came back so fast,
they feel like, you know, they did their job.
Like, they did exactly what they needed to do.
Did you speak to Daw's wife?
Because I know y'all are close.
I just hit her up and said, you know,
I saw everything and just sending you some love.
But she hasn't responded to expect her to.
One of the reports I read said that his family that was in court
was, of course, devastated.
I'm sure.
And I saw yesterday, Kiglock had posted,
but then deleted it, like, on X.
My City failed me.
He deleted it, though, not too long after.
that so I mean as you can imagine like this is not
something
what would she say you know what I'm saying
everybody involved need to be held accountable like
everybody needs to be in jail like it's
it's crazy yeah one of the shooters
is in jail and Cornelius
testified against him as well and Cornelius
is also facing
the time in jail that he will do as well
so everybody yeah
yeah but in other
news going back to some music news
so offset has finally
dropped Kiyari
and I've been listening to the project
I think I'm like four songs sure
of listening to the whole album
but it's good people are saying that this is
like one of his best releases
so he's released a couple different
songs but he has a
song called Never Let Go which is a tribute
to offset and he has move on which he talked about
and we talked about up here is a tribute
to take off I'm sorry it's a tribute to take off
yes and then he has
You're confusing your black men all week I just want you to know that
Oh my good she definitely thought Mike Tennis was shot
I'm going to stay focused.
I am staying focused.
Stay focused low.
You know what?
Stay focused, big low.
And then he has, and then he has move on, which is a song about closing the chapter
with Cardi.
So let's take a listen.
And he also dropped the video to Never Let's go and it's a fire.
Like the visual is, it's a great visual, even though it's a very sad song.
Let's take a listen to Never Let's go, the tribute to take off.
That's John Legend, right?
Yes, it's featuring John Legend.
John Legend got the eulogy voice, boy.
Yes, he did me?
Yeah.
And the setup of the visual, John Legend.
is there he's playing a piano it's um you see offset he's going through the motions of all

Hello, Kubei getting money.
And listen to Brewerin idiots this week.
Lauren Lerosa's on Brewerian Nidians
and Lauren Lerosa for whatever reason
decided to tell y'all about the other video
I got. I never said anything about it.
With my name.
I've never said anything about the other video.
I got two videos of Laura Lorosa.
I never said anything.
She was under pressure for some reason
and just decided to tell everybody what's on the video.
I was just happy and talking about my man.
And, yeah, we're going to talk about...
Say his name, say his name.
For what?
We got to wrap up.
We got to wrap up.
All right.
We got to go.
Donkey of the day, Charlamagne opens up the line Fridays.
800-585-105-1.
If you want to give somebody donkey today, call us up right now.
It's the breakfast club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Your mornings will never be the same.
It's your time.
to nominate a donkey of your own.
Remember that.
That's how they choose.
Call in now.
8005851-105-1.
Donkey today for Friday, August 22nd is the people's donkey.
This is where we allow people to call in
and give folks the credit they deserve for being stupid.
Whoever you want to give the biggest he-heart to,
you can do that right now.
So good morning.
Who do you want to give donkey today to?
I want to give it either to Charlemagne or Dr. Umar.
What?
What did I do?
Okay, you
I'll tell you what you did.
Turn your radio down first, Mama.
Then go ahead.
Okay, Alexa, stop.
Okay, what you did is
Dr. Umar went and now
is trying to get women
to date him for $500,
for $500,000,
dinner with, with Umar.
And you never even talked about,
Shalameen.
You know why?
Because when I first saw the video,
I thought it was AI.
I didn't know it's real.
Okay, I see that.
What y'all want me to do, though?
No, talk about it.
You never talked about it.
Well, you know why?
Because Dr. Umar is supposed to be on breakfast club soon.
So, you know, I kind of wanted to talk about it with him.
He also lost spending.
I saw that.
I see that he, the school might be going up for auction
because he's behind on some bills and some stuff like that.
I mean, there's a lot to talk to Dr. Umar about.
But if you ask my opinion,
I've already said it.
I don't think Dr. Umar was scamming anybody.
I just think Dr. Um, you know, wasn't on top of his business.
And I think that sometimes when you're taking on the task of opening up something like,
you know, your own school, you know, it takes a village to do something like that.
A lot of money.
And a lot of money.
And I don't know if he actually, you know, had, had that, that village around him, you know.
Yeah.
What's wrong?
But like I said, you didn't talk about, you didn't talk about the subject.
That's what God me.
You're talking about it.
Why you are, but only because I said something.
No, I talked about it on my podcast,
a few weeks ago.
She wanted you to give him donkey for charging women $500 to date him.
I don't have a problem with that.
Okay.
Well, have a good one, Mama.
You selling roller coaster glasses?
No, I'm not.
What you mean?
I don't have a problem with it.
I sell other glasses.

Damn.
So what you're supposed to?
Switching size, you're going to be strictly bussy now.
Nah, not yet.
They're just female in nine days.
They don't know to be independent.
They feel like they need a man for money.
You do not need no man for money.
Get your own hustle on.
Whatever a man do for you, that's just a bonus.
Amen.
Okay.
Well, thank you for calling, brother.
Yep.
Now, that's the first time I've heard.
I don't think I ever heard a man tell a woman to be independent.
They usually want to depend on them.
He's sick of him.
Like, good morning.
Who's this?
Hey, oh, this D from Latson.
Latson, South Carolina?
Latson's South Carolina,
Tauphan, Representative.

to get the biggest donkey.
That shit goes so crazy.
That new J-I-D album is tough, man.
Real tough.
That's super tough.
Whoever ain't listen to it,
whoever ain't stream it,

With Justin, Justin, J.S.
What's her name?
Jesse Rays?
Jesse Rays.
Yeah, that was tough.
The one with Clifton and Super Tough.
You know, Saluta J.D.'s team, man.
He got a good team, you know, his management, Barry, and everything else.
You know, he's just one of these guys that's on a label that sucks because these labels
don't know how to promote artists anymore
That's just the truth to the matter
I was looking at his numbers
I think he did like let me see
I think he did like 30 something thousand
You know
It's like yo
You'll build somebody
You have to break them down
No Jid is dope
It ain't his fault
No I'm talking about the label
Yeah
And these labels
Because the label
I mean they didn't do a good job
With Jid's album at all
Like skate should be all over the radio
The song with Jesse Reed
should be all over the radio
You know
And I don't know
As far as like the promo
And the marketing
I just feel like
They should be doing more
For these artists man
This is a great album
That jig got God, God don't like ugly.
Who's he signed to anyway?
I forgot.
I was going to say capital.
It ain't Dreamville.
I know it's Dreamville, but who's the major label?
I'm not sure.
Oh, Interscope.
Interscope.
Y'all suck.
Good morning.

This is Ebony.
Hey, Ebony.
How are you doing?
I'm doing fine.

I am blessed black and highly favorite.
Who you want to get the biggest he-haught-to?
I actually want to give the biggest he-haz to, um, yes.
I want to give the biggest he-haz-haz-hous.
Yes, Jess hilarious.
Yes, that's hilarious.
Okay
Hi, Jess, are you listening?
Mm-hmm.
What's that?
Yes.
I've seen a recent comment on Instagram that you actually made towards a big girl that I didn't really, like, agree upon.
What was that about, Jess?
What you said about the big girl?
She was a content creator.
I thought she was a content creator, being funny.
You know, she did the Chris Brown.
It Depends Challenge.
And she was outside of a Wendy's or Burger King of one of them fast food restaurants.
And she was doing it.
So I assumed that she was a comedian.
And the comment I said, you know how he starts.
the verse you know you bad as hell I said I know the song ain't say you fed as hell I
you know you know she she chose to put my comment over top of a video of her working out
like I posted on that because she's on a weight loss journey you know I didn't know that so why
you're not really a donkey yes but you know I just I expect better out of you you know
yeah you expect better out of a comedian I don't know how people do that but I definitely
understand. I appreciate the concern
for the big squad. I apologize to her.
Yes. Thank you guys.
Are you a big girl? Are you a big girl?
Yes.
No, I ain't no big girl. I know she not.
Okay. Well, thank you for calling.
You can't even go get a 20-piece saucy nugget
combo in peace nowadays without just
hilarious coming through making goddamn jokes.
All she want is a little baconator.
You don't say nothing to people in here that eat all the bacon.
What you say?
What you say?
Listen, shut up.
Yo, I made a video apologizing about that.
I thought it was a joke video, so I didn't even listen to it.
You know, I apologize.
Nobody took me serious.
Well, I actually went and jumped in her DM and I apologized to her first.
And she wasn't trying to head because she thought I was apologizing because I was being canceled.
I'm like, y'all can cancel every week.
That's nothing.
I don't even apologize to people.
So if Jess Solaris is in your DM, something about she's sorry, you better believe it.
Because then it's going to happen.
You know what's so crazy?
I saw every single one of those videos and did not make a connection.
connection. Like, I, because I, I didn't, I didn't get to watch Jeff's video. I just saw everybody saying the laughing emoji saying Jeff, Jess was clowning the big girl. But I saw the other video of the girl going in the Wendy's. And I saw the video of the girl boxing. But she, she had a bunch of comments of people. Yeah. When people make fun of her or negative comments, she posts them over top of a video of her working out. And she like, she lost, like, a lot of pounds. And she know, she's going to lose a lot more. But I, I didn't know that she was a, uh,
she was on a weight loss journey, like taking it serious.
I thought, you know, listen, when you are big or, you know,
ugly or skinny or whatever, you know what I'm saying?
And you put content out there and you're doing it in a funny,
comedic way, you got to expect things like that.
You know what I mean?
But, yeah, I started going, I saw her dancing in the Wendy's.
I thought she was making fun of herself.
That's what I thought.
So I chimed in like, oh, my turn.
And Shane liked that.
Well, listen, if you really want to apologize, we got some VIP passes to
Golden Corral here in the Bronx. No, we do.
We do. We got them right here. Let me hold it,
NBC. Some people don't think I'm joking.
Salute the Golden Corral. That's my favorite buffet
place. We got the freaking, look it
right here. We got it for you right here. Be our
VIP guest, the only one for everyone.
Free buffet and beverage. What's
the young lady name? Until December.

Salomey and the Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Lon La Rosa is here with us

We got a special guest.
in the building. Yes, indeed. His new single
comes out this Friday. Give my love.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Welcome. How are you feeling, brother?
I'm good. I'm good. How's everybody?
Bless Black and Holly favorite.
Man, you are a legend. You know how many people
who love you, man? Yeah.
You said yes.
He said yes. I say that
with gratitude, though. Absolutely. Absolutely.
It's gratitude, man. It's gratitude
to be doing what I do for a living
for over two decades. And I don't
feel like I'm done yet. That's
That's really a blessing.
Why do you think you have the connection with the audience that you do?
Is it because you bear your soul?
Is it because you're so vulnerable?
It's because they can maybe see some of their struggles and struggles you've been open about?
Yeah, I think it's the vulnerability.
I think it's the authenticity.
And I'm making music in the tradition of Luther and Marvin and all that great music that we grew up,
the Isley brothers and Patty.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm holding.
I'm trying to keep you.
keep the light on for what I feel is good
R&B and I think people appreciate that.
But you're independent now, so you pay it for everything.
So how does that feel? That part of the business
feeling. Well, it's incredible. I started as an independent
though, right? My first album, Chemistry,
I released on my own label, Chemistry Records we sold.
That's when we, you know, I was selling CDs
literally out of my trunk, 17,000 units on my own.
So I'm just returning to, I've come
home you know it's a full circle moment 23 good years at motown you know motown was good to me and
i was definitely good to motown you know kept the lights on yeah we kept you know we kept you know
we kept it pushing but uh in this season of my life you know as a husband a father we got a lot
kids a lot going on and i'm thinking about my legacy and how i want to move forward uh more equity
um more autonomy um you know so i i feel real good i would think majority of your money was probably
You made a touring, though, right?
Touring.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Touring is definitely the gift that keeps on giving it, as well as publishing, you know, publishing, right?
Because I write most of my stuff.
You know, you've been very open about things like, you know, homelessness and addiction before finding, like, you know, your breakthrough.
How did those struggles shape you as an artist?
And a man.
Look, coming through the other side of my darkness is really the foundation that's got me sitting here with y'all.
You know what I'm saying?
My testimony is everything, you know, and the music is infused with it.
And I don't just look at what I'm doing as an entertainer.
You know, I'm in the business, you know, and I'm in the game.
But I also look at it as ministry in a way.
You know what I'm saying?
People who are going through, you know, hopefully I say something that resonates with them
that helps pull them through the other side of their darkness, too.
What made you give it up?
What was that final thing?
I'm going to give this up and I'm a change when you talk.

December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport.
The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage,
kids gripping their new Christmas toys.
Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed.
There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal.
Apparently the explosion actually impelled metal glass.
The injured were being loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic, chaotic scene.
In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay.
Terrorism.
Law and order, criminal justice system is back.
In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight.
That's harder to predict and even harder to stop.
Listen to the new season of Law and Order Criminal Justice System on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Noah. I'm 13. And as you might have seen from the news, I got a podcast. And I explain those fake headlines like your uncle would, like your cousin would if he actually did the research.
Honestly, adults don't ask the right question. Now you know with Noah de Barroso is a show about.
influence. Who's got it, how they use it, and what it means for the rest of
it. It's not the news. It's what the news should be if someone Gen Z or Gen
Alpha made it. And I'm watching everything. Sheesh.
Majority of the youth, 18 through 24, say they trust Republicans more than
Democrats to from the economy. You kidding.
Politics is wild and I'm definitely not here to payment, but I'm here to make sense
of it. Just what's happening, why it matters, and what it means.

When I became a journalist,
I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked.
I'm Maria Inojosa.
I dreamt of having a place where voices
that have been historically sidelined
would instead be centered.
For over 30 years now,
Latino USA has been that place.
This is Latino USA, the Radio Journal
of news and culture.
As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers
the stories that truly matter to all of us.
From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news, they're creating this narrative
that immigrants or criminals.
This is about everyone's freedom of speech.
Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our
identities.
When you do get a trans character like Imile Perez,
the trans community is going to push back on that.
Colorism, all of these things like exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture.
You'll hear from people like Congresswoman, AOC.
I don't want to give them my fear.
I'm not going to give them my fear.
Listen to Latino USA as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network,
available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
About the drugs and alcohol.
You know, I know it sounds strong.
And people say it all the time.
It's a cliche, you know, but it's like you get sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Sick and tired, man, you know, I got sober when I was 23 years old and out of jail, hospitalized because of my addiction, estranged from my family, you know, couldn't go home, sleeping outside.
You know, my friends were people that at, my contemporaries were, you know, they were in school, they were in college, they were starting their careers.
Saturday night, they're out on dates, they're doing the thing, you know what I'm eating out of trash cans, you know what I'm saying?
And I'm, you know, when people think my story is, is one of rags or riches, but it's really the story of the prodigal son, you know what I'm saying?
My parents, you know, two cars and, I mean, you know, want to send me to school and like all of that, you know.
But, yeah, I got sick and tired of being sick and tired.
And I gave up on my idea of how to change it myself, right?
There's an adage I love that says when the student is ready, the teacher appears, you know, when I gave up, when I surrendered.
You know, God brought some people into my life who showed me how to live a better way.
And I've been doing it ever since.
If you don't mind me asking, how did the addiction start?
Was it recreational?
Yeah, it started recreationally.
Right?
You know, man, the first time I had a drink, man, it was like, you know, I was, you know, I think to some degree,
we all have some degree of dysfunction in our homes.
And I just, I didn't have, I didn't have any coping skills.
right my and my parents you know god bless them they did the best they could we were you know
we didn't talk about anything in our house you know we didn't uh there was anxiety and what i know
now is is uh childhood depression and and and ADHD we didn't have them labels you know everybody
we all depressed just get up and put your head down and plow through it um so all of those
things so by the time i found alcohol and drugs dude it was like a light went on you know what i'm
saying it was a place of uh you know i thought that it was a place of uh you know i thought that it was a place
of refuge you know
I was I was I was free to be me
you know I was the
the life of the party you know
until until I wasn't you know
so my my upbringing was
it was it laid the foundation
to seek something outside
of myself to to medicate
you know as soon as you often
just a laris offered you a mimosa
shut up yeah I'm so sorry
no it's all good now you mentioned your
parents you know so I'm sure
your parents had to kick you out to get to
for you to get to where you need to be.
Best thing that ever happened to me was my mother
throwing me out of the house.
Break that down because a lot of parents won't do that
because they feel like that's their son.
They don't want to, but I feel like sometimes you have to.
You have to.
Yeah, she had to.
It was the best thing that ever happened to me, you know?
And when we do that, and I'm saying that as a father,
and I don't know that I'd have the courage to do that.
You know what I'm saying?
Even having had the experience, but, you know,
because there's a risk.
And when we show that type of tough love,
love to someone. There's a risk that they won't make it. You know what I'm saying? But there's also
a risk that they'll die in their darkness. You know, so I'm glad that my mother made that
choice. What's your relationship after? Today it's all good. Right? It's all love. You know,
it was necessary. My mom's in my mom's in recovery too. You know, the whole dynamic in our
house, you know, shifted, you know, and we did a lot of great, a lot of good work to get to a good place.
my father last fall, but, you know, we're all in a good place, man, and I'm grateful
for it.
Were you a generational curse breaker?
Um, I would say as far as addiction is concerned, my, as far as addiction is
concerned, my mother, my mother got sober first, you know, um, and I, and I, and I have,
I have continued, um, I have continued the, I like that, I'm going to take that with me.
I have continued the curse breaking, you know, and I, and I have continued the curse breaking, you know,
And hopefully my children will carry it forward.
Absolutely.
I don't you say that, you know, you all didn't talk about things in your house when you were younger.
Before your father's passing, leading up to that, did you guys get to have those conversations?
Did you say, you know, because we didn't talk about anything, can we talk about it now?
Yeah, yeah, we, you know, we were good, you know.
And, you know, and I think that that's not exclusive to our culture, but I'm sure that, you know, our culture, we identify, you know.
You talk, you know, grown folks are talking.
You go into the other room.
You know what I'm saying?
You're seen and you're not, and you're not heard.
You know what I'm saying?
And, you know, but we did a lot, again, we did a lot of great work to get to the other side of that.
Yeah.
We're still kicking in with Kim.
His new single Rock with Me is out today.
Jess.
You had said that your music was your therapy.
Yeah.
You know, at your time of homelessness, right?
When you were away from your community, have you ever done any other therapy, like real therapy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dude, when I signed, when I signed my contract with Motown, I had a panic attack.
First time I ever had one.
Wow.
And I didn't know what it was.
I thought that getting a record deal, which I had been, you know, proverbially chasing, like, all of my life, I thought that that was going to be the cure all.
Why I got the record deal, now I'm cool, right?
there's all this other stuff
all this other baggage
that still needed to be
to be unpacked
it didn't more money
I would say more money more problems
it didn't
it didn't resolve
you know a lot of issues
so I ended up
I was talking to someone
a friend of mine
and I was explaining to her
how I was feeling
and she happened to be
a child psychologist
and she said
have you ever been diagnosed with depression
and I said no
I had, you know, no, and she recommended a therapist, so I saw a therapist and, you know,
and educated myself. I was on medication, you know, for a while. And, you know, it was, it was,
it was, it was, it was, it was, it was life changing, you know, we are. And that's after,
I think I got a record deal. I was, I had been sober for maybe 10. So these layers, there are,
there are layers to our lives, layers of the onion that we peel back. And there's more to
discover. There's more to unpack. There's always. There's always.
always more to be done.
You know, I don't know there's a lot of stigma.
And not as much today, probably as, you know, I mean, that was 23, as, as there used to be
about, you know, the black church and we're talking about, you know, you only need Jesus.
Like, yeah, you need Jesus and a therapist.
Right? You need a Jesus and a therapist.
And you might need some medication.
You know what I'm saying?
Don't let those things keep you from getting the help that you need.
How were you able to create a sound?
track of love during that dark time in your life because you didn't love yourself right
I don't know if you had somebody to love but how were you able to write you were really honest
about the things you were going through to all of the records up until I met my wife are aspirational
right you know skinny dark skin kid shy you know I'm a introvert pretending to be you know
an extrovert you know shy you know don't get you know want the want to look from the pretty girl
want the you know so i'm i'm that's you know too too afraid to talk you know so that's all of my
songs were this all inspirational it's all aspirational and it's all um you know when i did
have a girlfriend and then the loss of the loss of love you know that first you know that first
the first album chemistry is it's all of that that's crazy how you say you ain't even know
how to talk, man. Your music got
so many guys' cheeks. But I can do
that, right? I'm standing
it, so my brothers, I'm standing in the gap
for my brothers, right? You ain't got the words
there's a Kim record for it, right?
That's right. Yeah. So did love inspire
your music, or did music inspire the way
you love?
Both.
Both.
Both, right? And people
talk about, you know,
and I used to be in bands
and they would be, you know, everybody's, we
We were coming up in, you know, some Minneapolis sound.
It was, you know, Tony, Tony, Tony.
It was all the dance tracks and all the, all my bandmates and my musical peers, you know,
they were chasing this thing, dude, and I'm sitting over here in the corner with these
little quiet ass, you know what I'm saying?
How are you always writing the loves?
You know, why you always was like, dude, I don't know.
You know, that's just, you know, that's just, that's just what it is.
And I'm, you know, and I'm grateful for that, you know, because I think that, um,
All that ails the world is a lack of love to some degree.
No, I think, not even to some degree.
I think that's what's missing.
Because love gives you empathy, love gives you caring.
You have those three things.
Right.
You'll show up and be the human that we need you to be.
You know what I'm saying?
Love, empathy, and care.
That's it.
You know, yeah, for real.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Looking back now, right, what are you most proud of now about your journey back then?
I am most proud of being.
Being sober, because upon that is, that's the foundation for everything else.
If I'm not sober, I mean, that's, that's, you know, I mean, God and sobriety, you can go,
which one comes first?
Because if I, if I'm drinking, dude, I, God may still be with me, but I'm not, I'm not.
Right?
I got you.
Sobriety is, is, is probably the first thing.
Upon that, everything else is built.
And, and after that is, you know, is my, is.
is my family, um, my kids.
My wife and I, we've got seven kids.
He got you between us.
Got me built by one.
Right?
I got six.
The oldest is 30.
The youngest is one.
You know what I'm saying?
So we, you know, let's hear.
Hey.
You know what I'm saying?
How did you meet your wife?
How did you meet your wife?
I met my wife at a show in Atlanta.
And, uh, my wife came to a meet and greet on a tour that I should.
that I, that at the time, I didn't feel like I should have been on.
We had just, we had just, we had just, it was just me, but we had just, this was 20, 2015.
So in 2014, you know, me, Joe and Charlie Wilson, you know, we was out killing them for months.
And then, and then I came back and tried to do, do another two of us, so we had been out there.
So I've really felt, you know, that I shouldn't have been out on the road.
But what you think you're someplace for is not necessarily why you're there.
We think we're there for one reason, but there's something, there's something else, something else is going on.
And, uh, and I met my wife at a, at a meet and greet.
She hates it, dude, because when we get into our call it, oh, yeah, meet and greet.
I got you meet and greet.
Damn.
Right, she's going to see this.
We're going to have a, right, right, meeting greet.
That's my thing of meet and greet, though.
It was a divine meeting greet, though.
It was a difference.
You know she was the one as soon as you met her?
Huh?
You knew she was the one as soon as you met her?
Oh, boy.
There was something.
that made me want to
stay in contact with her
which I never
you know
and I'm lame
I'm a square right
I'm asking her
she got a
you got a business card
ain't nobody carrying a business card
you only know if she got a business
you got a business car
yeah but I met her
I met her at a show
yeah
met her at a show
yeah
well brother thank you for your testimony man
and thank you for
you know, turning your testimony
and the art that heals, man.
Thank you, bro.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
It's really, really been a blessing to be here today.
We love you, Kim.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ NV.
J.
Jolami and the Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Lawn Lawn La Rosa is here.
And let's get to pass the all.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Go.
My DJ.
Naila.
Yeah, DJ come spin, I come spin.
What's up Naila?
Big Naila, Simone.
What's happening?
What's popping, guys?
Hey, girl.
Hey.
I think I like that.
I was shooting.
I was sorry.
Because we said it first.
What's up, Nile?
Big Nile.
Like, people always do that.
You be like, peace, how you doing?
I'm good.
How you doing?
You're supposed to say it back.
I'm well.
Thanks for asking.
Sometimes people don't even say I'm well, though.
You be like, how you do it?
You be like, how you doing?
But that's because this is a generation of people with no manner.
But it's cool
I appreciate you guys saying
Good morning
I know you're on your phone
You catched up with the latest
She wasn't paying attention to you
She was catching up with the latest
I was trying to book a guest for us
Oh sorry
But okay
I'm gonna start with
First of all I just want to shout out
I know a lot of projects
Are dropping today
Lupe Fiasco
Kong Waze
Who's ghost face
I mean
Who the hell is gold face
Who the hell is gold face?
I didn't know
I didn't say
Gofface
I said ghost face killer
My favorite MC of all time
Don't play with him
Yes
and Conway the Machine
but Chance of Rapper
dropped his project last week
and I didn't touch on it
so I wanted to do
one of the records I like
and it's a pretty lengthy project
but I will say
my favorite records
are the records
where he's actually
rapping
like Chance of his rap bag
hence the name Chance the Rapper
so I like
Back to the Go
featuring Vic Minza
He's spitting
Yeah
I'm not gonna chance
be rapping
I'm gonna be honest
I haven't gotten the Chance
project yet
I've been on his clips
I've been on your
what's my man named
Markle
Markle
Markle Plus
Marco Plus.
I haven't gotten the chance yet.
I got to get the chance.
Definitely listen to it.
I think it's worth to listen.
And yeah, like I said, all the rap records on there, I definitely favor.
And in that song in particular, I really like the asset line, like the flip.
The homage to his first project.
I thought that was really tough.
But also, Tiana Taylor just dropped her project.
And she got a song on there with Jill Scott.
First of all, it's a star-studded lineup.
She got Taraji P.
doing, like, opening skit.
Then she has Lala doing, like, another skit.
But it's more like a poem that's kind of talking on, like, breakup, like betrayal, I guess,
alluding to the divorce that, you know, they both went through.
Either way, the joint with Jill Scott is tough.
It's Jill Scott featuring Tyler, and it's called Poon Pum.
I want to hear Jill.
Yeah, I don't know why it's so sure.
I think it's because we're just sure on time.
I need to hear Jill.
It's good, though.
Definitely go listen to it.
It's on the playlist or just check out Tiana's project.
It's sexy.
Are Tiana and Tyler hanging with Jill?
Because you on a record with Jill.
I know they're hanging off a deal.
trying to play with Jill.
Is Jill singing?
Is Jill?
Oh, I know they're hanging off for dear life.
Trying to keep up with Jill.
It's good, but it's well done.
I got to listen to it.
I want to say, Tiana did a really good job
putting this project together.
I feel like not everybody puts, like,
thought and care and intention behind their projects,
but this was well done.
The visuals.
Oh, my God.
I don't think people were talking enough about the,
like, she's literally making many movies
that sink and she's dropping them in order.
The fashion is fire.
Like her, I mean, they're always on point.
People are going to talk about it.
She's still not going to like you, Lauren.
It doesn't matter.
I'm a fan either way.
I'm sure she's still going to curse me and shoulder me now, too, but he's going to.
Goose face killer.
That's my favorite MC of all time.
Stop playing with him.
Yes, let's get into it.
He's bricked up right now over there.
Rep.
That's nasty.
No pausing.
No pause.
You don't have to.
What do you mean you don't have to?
It's a skit.
You got to hit a skin on Ghostface album.
It's hilarious.
That's my favorite rapper.
That's my favorite rapper of all time, man.
I want to go back to Jill Scott real quick, though.
Because that's my, Jill Scott and Eric,
about doing my wife's favorite artist all the time
and two of mine.
I don't think I've ever heard Jill Scott
do a R&B collaboration with other women.
I could be completely wrong.
I'm sitting there racking my brain about it.
I cannot think of a time.
Didn't she do one with Kalani?
I'm not saying she didn't.
She did do one with Kalani on Kalani's last project,
but Kalani shortened her verse.
So we don't know what the full sounds like,
but she is on a project.
It's like her and then some really big Brazilian artists.
Okay.
Yeah, Kalani.
Yeah, she got a couple.
She does.
They said she got, yeah, Brandy.
Brandy?
Come on, don't play with Jellie from Philly.
I don't remember, though.
That's what I'm asking.
I really don't remember though.
It was a conversation collaboration.
Her and Marcia and Brosian?
Her grown woman, the grown woman.
I would have remembered the Martian and Jill.
That's two of my favorites right there.
Well, she definitely did Kalani.
Yeah, Kalani for sure.
Kalani was the song, is it Susie?
Susia.
Yeah.
I never heard that.
Was the, they collaborated on Black Girls Rock, so they both.
That's her song.
No, it was their separate songs, but I guess they both participated.
paid it so people
I know Kalani was hanging
off in their life
that's why she cut that verse
shout out to Kalani though
but if you're talking about Jill Scott
see I'm not trying to diss
any of these women I'm just telling you
that when you're talking about people like Jill Scott
that's a different caliber
that's a different tier say something stupid
Lauren because you don't know I was just
no I was what I was about to say is that
no one would take it as a disc
because when the young girls
talk about Jill Scott we give her the praise
and she's like she'd be OG mentoring
okay y'all should bow down
like on Instagram
in person everything like
so that's not a disc
We know.
Throw road pedals
to Jill Scott feet
when she walk in the room.
We do, though, by the way.
Yeah, that's what they say, we know.
We do.
Her and Erica, we love them.
You see, I don't know.
I'm a young woman.
We got Erica right there on the wall.
You see, we got Jill Scott over there.
You know, yes.
Yes.
Balance for the room.
Well, done.
Okay, well, we like it.
And so you did like the ghost face record, obviously.
I liked everything you played today.
Yeah, everything was good.
What?
Woo!
Girl, I know the trauma.
Yeah.
What?
We think good.
Okay, good.
Well, if you guys like it,
Make sure you guys listen to the playlist.
You can listen to it by following me on the gram
at Nila Simone, N-Y-L-A, S-Y-M-O-N-E-E-E.
Click the link in bio and why you guys are over there.
Well, I was going to say we're having this hip-hop night party
is going to be me, Ninth Wonder, Static Selector.
So if you like that last joint, you would definitely like this party,
but we're just trying to bridge the gap within rap
and just hip-hop culture in general.
But we sold out of tickets, so, you know, sorry about that.
Have you know.
Like, I just mentioned it so I know.
Niall!
Talk that talk, talk, Big Nila.
So, yeah, September 9th, of course.
All right.
Well, that was past the all.

She was here and you weren't here?

Churchill by the way but the positive note is success is stumbling from failure to failure
with no loss of enthusiasm did you hear what I said success is stumbling from failure to failure
with no loss of enthusiasm because sometimes we fail and we get you know unenthused and we're
not enthused about things and we be like damn I want to quit but you can't you got to keep
going so success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm
