I'm so funny. I'm so funny. You all funny. You're all funny.

You're alive. Yeah, you are. I am very, very, well. Today is also the 25th anniversary of 9-11, by the way. So, don't forget that. So we want to salute to everybody that has lost a family member, that has lost a friend, that has lost somebody. This is 25 years since those two planes crashed into the World Trade and one into the Pentagon.

There's happened so many services, so many. So, I mean, today in the city alone, if you have to be. to get if you have to drive to manhattan or you have to drive to new york city they're saying anything on the canal street right now after 6 a m will be shut down they're having a ceremony uh where the world say world trade center was uh all the presidents except donald trump he's going to be at the pentagon will be there that are alive uh so today is a day of remembrance and the crazy thing i wasn't in new york uh when 9-11 happened but everybody has a 9-11 story you know what i mean because, you know, even a lot of our security here,

they were police officers 25 years ago. So they were some of the first responders who had to get down there. So just, you know, today is like traumatic for them. Very, very traumatic. And now people remember where they were, whether they were in class. I remember Madison was about to be born.

Of course, she was born in November, and we just had finished painting her crib area and her room. And they were delivering the crib, and they couldn't deliver the crib and because of what was going on and I remember my dad called me and my dad never sounds nervous

but he sounded nervous that day he was like yeah we gotta go to the city and pick up your mother she can't get out the city there's no trains there's no buses they close the bridges we have to go get her and by the time I got to the house

thank God my mom had walked over the bridge and we just went to you know to Queens to get her but yeah because most people you know didn't even know what happened initially like when you saw the first plane hit you thought that it was an accident

yes right You didn't know what was going on. That's right. Then when you're out of the second plane hit, you're like, oh, my God, we're under attack. And then on the other side, it was also a day, Jay Z dropped his album, Blueprint. Fab dropped his album, his debut album. And that was one of the first records I ever produced was on that record. So we were excited.

We were going to go to the release party. And it just hit us all crazy. So if you lost somebody at 9-11 or, you know, you're still friends, family, sends out condolences. and we're going to open up the phone lines during get it off your chest if you want to talk about it if you want to talk about where you were how you felt during that time we can do that as well 800 58551051

we got our front page news next with Mimi can we start off with song cry hole you got that in there there we go all right it's the breakfast club good morning get your ass up you today on the show Kai Cash will be joining us Kai Cash is an emce from Brooklyn that is signed to

Yeah, they killed them. And they played out in Australia. So congratulations to the 49th. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Envy. Jess, Charlamine, how y'all doing this morning? Peace, baby, Brown. Good morning. So we start this morning

in New York City, where in just a few hours, families will gather at Ground Zero to mark 25 years since the September 11th attacks. Now, the ceremony begins around 8.30 this morning at the 9-1-1 Memorial. At 846, there will be a moment of silence

marking the exact time the first plane hit the North Tower, and then family members will begin the annual reading of the names, nearly 3,000 people killed on September 11th. Now, throughout the morning, there will be moments of silence marking when each plane hit, when the Twin Towers fell, and when the flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. And as New York marks 25 years since the attack, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish is reflecting on what that day still means for the department and the city. Let's listen.

The scale of the loss and the devastation that day was unfathomable, and so too was the heroism that we witnessed in response. Preserving that history also means preserving its moral clarity. The men who attacked this city were terrorists. The men and women who ran into the towers to save innocent lives were heroes. Twenty-five years cannot be allowed to blur that distinction. shame on those who do. And also expected, as you mentioned earlier, NV, former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama,

and Joe Biden. Now, President Trump, he will attend ceremony at the Pentagon, where 184 victims will be honored. And this year, for the 25th anniversary, there will also be a moment recognizing the thousands of people who died in the year since with 9-11 related illnesses. And that comes as new questions, though, are being raised about what people were told on the ground about ground zero, about the air on ground zero.

Earlier this week, New York mayor, Zeran Mandani, released more than 170,000 pages of documents about the city's response after 9-11, including what officials knew about the toxic air on ground zero or around ground zero. A record show city officials knew there were serious health concerns while people living and working in the area. They were told the area was safe. Now, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, he's responding to those newly released records.

But first, let's remind ourselves of what Mayor Mondani said during that press conference during the release. People got sick because the leaders they trusted lied and told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air. and then when they began to contend with the symptoms of the illnesses that followed, the government that had not hesitated to send them into harm's way was nowhere to be found. Now Giuliani, he is pushing back through a spokesperson, he said the terrorists who carried out the attacks are responsible for the suffering and for the illnesses. And he also points to the EPA, which told the public that the air was safe. And he's also accusing Mandani of trying to score political points over 9-1-1.

And really quickly, the firefighters who spent months going into ground zero, their union, they're calling withholding these records appalling. Remember, of course, we know that the firefighters were the ones who went back and forth into that toxic environment believing what they were told. And here's what the president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association had to say. It is appalling that they did this to us, despite our willingness to knowingly go into that environment, repeatedly for long-term exposures long after the acute exposure of that day to give dignity to the people that were lost to give the greatest possible effort towards a recovery and then hopes

to put New York back on its firm footing that it was on the days before 9-11 yeah and 453 fdn Y members they have now died from World Trade Center related illnesses that's more than the 343 firefighters who were killed on 9-11 itself. And more than 12,000 FDNY members have been diagnosed with at least one World Trade Center related illness. So, yeah, very sad. But they will be out today in remembrance attending ceremonies as well. All right.

Well, thank you, Mimi. We'll see you next hour. Absolutely. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105-10. I want if you need to vent, you just need to get some things off your chest. So you want to tell us where you were 9-11, 25 years ago. I know in the schools, I think they said there's only a third of the people from 9-11 are still alive, I believe, or maybe it was the other way.

I think something like that. Only a third of the people were still alive. And there's a new generation that weren't involved or weren't there or didn't see it. So the schools are making it their duty to actually teach the kids what happened and why we have to keep remembering what happened and pay. respect to the people that we lost and the police officers and the firefighters and even the animal. So get it off your chest. Call us up right now. It's the breakfast club.

Good morning. I'm telling. I'm darling. Hey, what's you doing, man? Oh, darling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed.

That song, they said, was a collective, the collective was called Artists Against AIDS Worldwide. And they said, what happened was, they said, because the recording sessions, the recording sessions wrapped up just days before the September 11 for tax, so the artist decided to pivot. Oh.

How you just pivot? Just pivot, right. It said the Megamix was originally organized by Bono and Jermaine Dupree to benefit AIDS research in Africa, but because the recording sessions wrapped up just days before the 9-11 attacks, the artist decided to pivot.

We've been catching up with some great friends, Paul Rudd, Michael Boubley, Seth Myers, Nile Horan, Jake Shane, and making some new friends while getting into what's really like to have sisters, like Alex and Asgen-N-Earl. She likes to control everyone and tell everyone. Okay, well, control is a harsh word.

I would say that's a harsh word. I am more outspoken. Growing up a lot of the times because she was so quiet, I would speak for the both of us. Now I'm working on, like, thinking a moment, really, not controlling her name. Not controlling her. And Joey King. You know if your, like, mom is yelling at your sibling,

and even if you're annoyed with your sibling, you just, like, won't let that slide. It's like, only you can yell at your sibling. I'm like, you can't do that here. That is, you want to talk about her like that. Only I talk about her like that. Plus, we've been taking. your calls, listening to your voicemails and giving advice, or at least trying to.

So if you've got catching up to do, now's the perfect time. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus

or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us.

Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months.

I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the Survivor Files. I just remember this is. low taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced.

But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This club, good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Sholomaine the Guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Put on that lip. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Because you particularly are bringing the energy. I see that live on. That sources trusted. Did you hear that exclusive? Lauren. I'm the home grader.

knows a little bit about everything and everything. She'd be having the latest on things. You ask the question that need to be answered. On the breakfast club. If little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you. L.L. Cool Bay, talk to me. L.L. Koolbae, just put a lip on low. Yes, good morning, y'all.

Getting here this morning was way different. I don't even think I, like, thought ahead of time about how 9-11 would affect just the driving. On my way in, there was so many, like, newscasters set up along all the streets of New York. Everybody's preparing for, like, they're broadcasting. of the day. It's going to be like that all day. Yeah, 25 years. 25 year anniversary.

Yeah. Even when leaving today, it's going to be just the same. Yeah, so if you're here in New York that I heard y'all talking about it, but definitely, like I was in it and I was like, oh, yeah, this is a thing. It's really, really happening. Okay, so let's talk a bit about 9-11 in remembrance. So today, as we know, Mark's 25 years since the attack on the World Trade Centers. And Pete Davidson, he spoke to the New York Post.

He gave them a few quotes. For those of you guys who do not know Pete Davidson's. father, he lost his father in 9-11. Yeah, he talks a lot about it often. But he was talking to the New York Post about how this year is different. And it's not an audio interview or video, so you won't hear him. I have some quotes. But he says this year he's different because we know Pete Davidson recently welcomed his daughter,

Scotty, who's named after his father. He says, you know, this year is way harder than it's been. It's a really long time because I, it's a really hard time because I have Scotty. And now I'm at the age my dad was when he died. So I'm just kind of like holy S word. He says that, you know, it's a, he talks about how people memeify 9-11 and post different things. But in real life, if you are a family member of someone who passed away in 9-11, how it hits a little different. He said, it's this weird thing that happens in our country where tragedy over time becomes a holiday.

And then sometimes I know the youth on the internet use 9-11 memes as jokes. Someone will be like, this song is fire. And then they'll post the towers. And we're the ones that have to see that. all of the time. And he, you know, he talks a bit about understanding why people, of course, remember the day and all the things, but how it is difficult. And he would like to see it become a day that can uplift and support people.

So he's joined a bunch of different organizations this year, as he does in years prior. One of them that he's working with, they're actually setting out to have people do good deeds. Let's take a listen to Pete Davidson talk about good deeds, the 9-11 program. My name's Pete Davidson. Some of you may or may not know. My dad, Scott Davidson, passed away on 9-11. He was a firefighter for Latter 118, Engine 205 in Brooklyn Heights. My dad loved being a fireman, and he loved saving people, as he did on that day.

9-11 is usually a tough day, but this organization, 9-11 day, does something cool where you do a good deed for someone, and you pass it along. You try to make the day a little bit lighter. So on this 9-11 and all the days leading up to this 9-11, make your pleasure at 9-11day.org together, let's show up for each other. I think my dad would have loved that. So let's unite for good. They had the charity comedy show last night at the garden.

Yes, yep. So it was like Dave Chappelle and Pete Davidson and Bill Burr and who else is there? Did he go? I'm sorry. No, I forgot. That's dope. Sadly. It's all right.

We're talking about it now. It's okay. at least know it happened and know that you can go out and support. But yeah, so shifting gears a bit but still kind of staying in that vein. I've heard Charlemagne, you talk a lot about, you know, this also being the anniversary of blueprint, but how Jay-Z took time, you know, during one of his shows that he did at Madison Square Garden to remember. Yankee Stadium. I'm sorry.

You wanted to be? Me? No, she wasn't. Oh, you were there the night before. Yeah, you were right. No, I'm not talking about the recent shows. I'm talking about the older show. Oh, no, I was talking about a

recent show. It was a Yankee Stadium. At Yankee Stadium. I wasn't there. Yeah, on Yankee Stadium that Saturday when he did the blueprint, like the show started, I think, right when the...

I wasn't there Saturday. You didn't give me Saturday tickets. Oh. What were you talking about, Lauren? No, what you... Okay, so I was talking about... So, Jay-Z did a show at Madison Square Garden back in 2009.

It was marking the eight-year anniversary because Blueprint falls on 9-11. So I was mentioning that because Charlemagne, I've heard you talk about that before. But Yankee Stadium, I didn't know on Saturday, he'd also paid that Saturday of the three-day concerts. He had also paid tribute to. Oh, absolutely. The concert started precisely at 9-11.

Yeah. And it was a speech dedicated to the victims of the tragedy. Yeah. Cool tribute. Yeah. Yep. So, yeah, just taking some time to remember, you know, some of the things that were happening around that time today. Yeah.

All right. Nice. No. Pretty early. That's what you got? Yeah, that's pretty much all we have. I mean, we had an audio, too, from a prior Jay-Z press conference, but I think it's going to be dated. He just talks about where he was when he found out about the tower sitting.

The towers being hit. All right. Well, that's the latest with Lauren. Now, Fab's album came out. His debut album came out on 9-11 as well. I think there was one more hip-hop album. I thought there were three hip-hop albums that came out that day. But hold up.

Where was he at? You know what I mean? Where was Jay-Z when it happened? What did he say? Let's take a listen to the audio of Jay-Z. Matt Madison talking about his Madison Square Garden show. A friend of mine said, uh, turn the TV on. And I turned the TV on and I saw the World Trade Center on fire.

He looked like a movie to me. It didn't look like anything that it could be real. The first thing I thought about was what happens from here. Like, you know, what happens tomorrow? How is this whole thing that's going to continue? And I was in Los Angeles with anything I can do. And I turned on the TV September 12th. And I saw footage of these heroic actions, people running into buildings and saving each other.

And I just saw the strength in New York. And it made me proud. Yeah. Envi, I saw, in my researches now, saw that there was a Wu-Ting affiliate. Yeah, Killer Army came out as well, yeah. Yeah. Remember back then. Yeah.

Fear Loving War was that album. Yes. All right, y'all. Now, that's the latest for the hour. All right. Now, that was brought to you by Life Lock. Your name is attached to everything you've built. And if you get your identity stolen, what then?

Beated by 20. Belt the ass. That's how the Cowboys going to do the Giants on Sunday. Drop on the clues bombs for my Dallas Cowboys, damn it. Belton ass. Definitely not. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, M.B. Schar.

Jess, how y'all doing? Peace, me, Brown. Good. All right, so we're going to continue with sports. We're talking about the Los Angeles Clippers this morning because last night we learned the team is now under federal criminal investigation. So federal prosecutors in New York, they are looking into the clippers and their business dealings. This comes after the MBS.

The NBA spent nearly a year investigating the organization and found a pattern of misconduct and multiple significant violations. Now, at the center of the investigation were outside deals that Clippers help arrange to get additional money for Kauai Leonard without that money counting against the team's salary cap. Now, the NBA, ultimately, they find the Clippers, $30 million, took away five first round draft picks and suspended the owner Steve Ballmer for a year. But when those findings came out, Pablo Torre, he was the podcaster who first broke this story, said this would just be the beginning. Let's listen to him really briefly on MSNBC or MSNMS now talking about this. The scheme that has been now reported by Wachtell Lipton in the NBA's outside counsel, as well as our reporting certainly, it is vast. It is deeper than even I realized. it is more sweeping and therefore more undeniable.

And so now we know, as of the last night, this has moved beyond basketball. Federal prosecutors are investigating the Clippers and at least one subpoena has already gone out. The federal investigation is still in its very early age. No criminal charges have been filed. But you're from L.A., I mean, we're from Alaska, but you, L.A., right?

I live. Is there any reason for the Los Angeles? clippers to exist. Like the L.A. Clippers are the raccoons of the NBA. You ever look at a possum or raccoons? But why did God even make that? Like, why do the L.A. Clippers even exist? They've never won a championship. No

finals appearances. I don't even know if you could call them the Lakers baby brother, our babysitting. Like, the L.A. is a Lakers town. No, the people like the clippers, too. People do. No. The clippers. The clips.

You said who? No, no. The games were sold down. I'm asking who. Who likes the clippers? It looks like a lot of people in attendance at the game. It's like you can say that about the Brooklynettes. Stop. Other than it being in Brooklyn, okay.

But I'm saying the clip has been around a long time and have nothing to show for it except for stories like this. You had the Lob City area at one point. But other than that, it's like, what is the point of the L.A. Clippers, yo? Especially in a town that is dominated by the Lakers. They are often left out the conversation. I will give you that, right?

They're here. because they're here, but are they really here? I don't know what I'm saying? I would say there like Foreskin, but Foreskin serves a purpose. Wow. Damn. Wow.

That's the last time. When they start calling up, don't try to dodge the calls. I'm not going to do with the players. I'm talking about this is just the organization. Like the Clippers, like I said, no, they never won a championship, no finals appearances.

Like, what's the point? All you ever hear stories like this about the Clippers, it's always a major, major scandal. It's the Donald Sterling making racist comments. It's stuff like this. What are the clippers for? Damn. Damn,

you just kill the whole organization. I know, God. I want to defend them, but I just can't. Right. Same envy. I'm like trying to think.

Like you said, the Lob City era, the 2013, 2014 season. But yeah, they only had 57 wins that yet. That's not only. That's good.

That's good. This once again, it's just, it's always, they seem cursed. They seem, they just seem like a cursed organization. shout out to the clip.

They had a whole Hulu series on what you just said, Donald Sterling. See? Yeah. That wasn't, that wasn't good. They were, that wasn't good. He was being racist.

That wasn't good. Yeah, it wasn't good. They're more known for that, I think. I don't know who, I didn't know who he was. How are you talking? All right, y'all. And moving along. So your smart TV may be watching

and listening to you, more than you realize. So a new investigation into LG Smart TVs found the televisions, they can collect information about your watching, what devices are around your home, and even picking up audio from your TV's microphone. And here's the part that may surprise you. Researchers say all of this can be collected even when the TV is in standby mode, even when it's disconnected from the internet. So if there's no internet connection, they found the TV can save information and upload it later when it connects. The TVs, they are used for technology. They can recognize what you're watching and even coming from a cable box gaming system or even another plugged in TV

device. So people are like, well, why are they collecting all this information? They say it's advertising because knowing what you watch helps company build a better picture of your interest and sell more targeted ads. But a lot of people are questioning why your TV would be recording you when you have it off. So this has been happening forever. Like our phones, our laptops, our TV, everything, this has been happening. So when you say recording us, you mean like when I'm just walking around

the room, butt-necked, average-sized penis swinging. You see it. They can read. Looking stupid. Yes, they do. I don't know if they can see it, but I think they can hear it. We, hear it, audio. They can hear it.

They can hear it too. That's what I think. When you said that the smart TV is tracking us, that's where that's what I'm thinking. they watching us in the house, but you mean like they're tracking our information and what we watch. They're tracking your information. They're listening. They're listening. On your phone, TVs are also doing the same thing, basically. We could see you. That's going to be a thing one day, though. I keep saying that over and over that one day, like all of our private

conversations are just going to be leaked because I don't believe there's any such thing. There's no such thing as a private conversation anymore. Like we're being tracked at all times. We're being watched at all times. We're being listened to at all times. Exactly. And at some point, one of these systems is just going to leak all our private conversations. Listen, like, you know, you ever be like talking about something in your house and then you turn on the TV, you watch YouTube, will you open up your phone? And the very thing that you're talking about, it'll be an ad for it. Or it'll just magically pop up. Yo, yeah, they've been on it. They've been on it. That happens all the time on my phone. And lastly, here's something interesting about dating. So the older you get, the younger you may be willing to go. So a new survey found that one in 10 people in their 50s would date someone 10 years or younger. Among people in their 60s, even when you are 60 and younger, 60, you're willing to date even younger than you are in your 50s. Researchers found that that openness to a younger partner, it keeps increasing with age.

Women, they still tend to prefer someone closer to their own age. But as women get older, they are stepping into what they're calling their cougar error. And they are willing to date younger. This is, but this has people talking about a double standard. So when an older man dates a younger woman, they said that they are congratulated for it. But when a older woman dates a younger man, she gets that name Cougar. So what do you guys think? I mean, I feel like when an older guy dates a younger woman, he's looked at worse than an older woman is looked at when she dates a younger man.

I feel like it's the other way around. And then I'd rather be a cougar than a Sugar Daddy anyway. You know what I'm saying? Like, sugar daddy's get a bad rap. And they're not bad people, man. Sugar Daddy's get a bad rap. They're not a bad people. I mean, they're not bad people, but.

How many sugar you dated to understand that? I only had three. Calm down, NV. Don't do that. And my favorite one was pink. But, yeah, the older women, like, you know, every now and then you want, you want a little young guy, you know, knock your back out, like, when someone style of got a groove back. You know what I mean?

Like, that made perfect sense. It makes perfect sense. I think when you're older, you have to have someone around you that. knows how to check your blood pressure, reminds you to get your prostate check, you know, can recognize the sign of a stroke, can recognize the signs of a stroke.

If you make, you know, certain references, you want them to, you want them to get them, right? Like, you know, if I'd be like, oh, you're a regular doogie house. I need you to know who dogy houses is.

You know what I mean? Oh, what's that? Who's that? Exactly. Duggy. Yeah, Duggy Houser. He was like this really,

it was played by Neil Patrick Harris, but he was just like this teen phenom on the show, but he was like extremely smart, but he was like a genius. He was like a kid. They figured things out. Yeah, yeah. I know who Neil Patrick Harris is.

I never heard of Duky-Hauser though. Okay, cool. Exactly. But that's what I'm talking about. You see what I'm saying? Hank never told me he never bought up no Dugiaozza or none of that. Well, he was handicapped. But that wasn't the kind of doctor he probably was going to see.

Hey, he had no legs. Yo, he did have legs. They were just paralyzed. He just paralyzed. No. Salute to Hank. Shout up to Hank. Hank.

Hank watch Brooks Club. So, what's up, Hanky? All right, y'all. Well, that is your first. front page. All right. When we come back. Oh, and listen, I want y'all to know today is the People's Donkey 100, 585-105-1. You can call up right now and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid, okay? All right. And Kodakash will be joining us when we come back. It's the

Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Sholomeen the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Long-Law on the Roses here as well. We've got a special guests in the building. The dophos lyrics is in New York City right now. Dover's young rapping, New York City. Stop playing with them. There you go. Kodcast, welcome, how you feel it? Great. I'm glad to be here. I'm glad to be here. Happy that you here, brother. Thank you for having me. You got the merch on, bars not dead.

Pushing, campaign, and got to. Let's start from beginning. This is first time Kyle's up here. Facts, of course, Kyle gets busy with the bars. So let's start what got you into rap. And I heard a story. Okay. That when you were five years old, I guess in school, everybody said what they want to be.

And kids were like police officers and firemen. And you said you wanted to be wordy like little Wayne. I don't know where you heard. Is that true? I'm going to say, fire. That's a lot of words. No. Who the hell told you that story?

Yeah, that's a crazy story. Pop's told me that story. Pop, I call it's Pop, and say, tell me some questions about it. Well, maybe, I don't know, maybe he remembered better than I do, but really, it's from the upbringing for real, like, as you know, Pops, it's just like a behind-the-scenes guy in the industry and just coming up and being privy to what the lifestyle was. For me, that was the eye-opener. It's like, I know y'all got some money, and it's from this thing, and who doesn't like

music? So it's just like, I'm around it all the time, and I always express myself through. art like I hated sports I wasn't trying to be a firefighter or police officer I'm not doing none of that like rap I always been good with words and I just took it there and I kept going now when you call a project bars not dead are you defending lyricism are you challenging the people who keep seeing this generation don't care about lyrics anymore I think it's just a bit of both I'm defending it because I like the rap a lot it gets frowned upon sometimes especially now She's no, I want to hear all that rapy rap.

Why do people say that? I don't know. When everybody, to me, I don't know. I look at the last 15 years, the guys who really thrived are rapidy rappers. The Kendrick is a rapidly raping. Even the legacy acts. It's just like, they're a lot more booked than the newcomers. That's right.

Because of what they did. Cole is a rapidy rapper. Cole is a rapidy rapper. His shows look crazy every night. Yeah. So it's just like, I don't know. But, yeah, it's a little bit of both. It's like, I want you all to stop saying this thing.

and then I'm challenging everything else at the same time But you came up in the era where I hate to say the rapidy rap But the rapy rap wasn't necessarily As big as some of the other stuff that came out This is the thing too Because it wasn't but at the same time we had it And it still was like something that people looked to

Like I had an argument with one of my peers And he was just like Oh 7 Laffy Taffy was number one I'm just like but Tia was still rapid Little Wayne had just going into the car to three be like, it was balanced. Now it's just like there's no balance. No and none.

Hold was still outside. Hold was still outside. How old was the person you was going back and forth? We're the same age. So in 07, I'm 29. In 07, I was what? 10? Because I felt like it's a taste level.

Like, there are people that probably were listening to like, if you did hear Tia, I was like, you had to skate and ring. But I was a gumbo. But I'm not going to lie. Tia was lit. Yeah, 100%. You know, Kanye West graduation without no sense.

It's a taste level thing. It's a taste level thing. It has a lot. It is. But that's my whole point. But not everybody listening to Lupe Fiasco. And a lot of people that would listen to Kanye West and would listen to like a laughy-taffy.

There's a lot of a little synergy there. But a lot of people, if somebody said to you pointed to Lafey-Taffey first, that's a whole different. Mind you, the person I was talking to is a rapy rapper. Oh, wow. Exactly. Case and point.

It's just like, how do we, okay, let's just bring it back to a space and place where everything can coexist. I'm not trying to say like, Nah, it's over for that. Who am I to dictate that? It's just like, let's not shy away from this thing as well, because this is how we got it.

And what got you into rapping? Because you got your degree from Hampton. And what was your major? Business management. To be honest, I went to school because it just seemed like the right thing to do. I'm not even going to lie to y'all. If I could have went to school for hip-hop, I went to school for hip-hop.

So you knew this is what you wanted to do, regardless of you going on. I never had a job. This is just my... only thing. It's crazy because I asked my pops for a job one summer. Like he had reopened world on wheels in L.A. I just wanted to make some brave. I used to go there.

Yeah. And I was just like, yo, I just need a job. Like, he was like, you got a job. Keep doing it. I was like, wow. Wow. That's great. Yeah, word.

I was like, I. That's what you want to do with your kids. I bet. Yeah. You got a job. Do it. You figure out of make some money. You do it the right way.

Now, we're speaking to your pops in. Luke to B.K. Root, too. B.K.R. Yeah, I was going to talk through, like, who is that it for people who don't know? That is the B.K. Rube, of course, one of Biggie's best friends. Yeah, I'm a pseudo-Nepo, baby.

That's right. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. No, no. I used to look at it like, nah, I don't want, now. Now it's just like, yeah. Yeah, period. I am. I mean, he was the first person to play me a record.

I am who I am. Long time ago. Exactly. You see what I'm saying? But also, too, I feel like, you, when you say you're a pseudo-nepo baby, it's like, but I know because of the type of cloth that that means you came from that.

Like, you still worked. Like, you still had to work for something. And you know how to fight. I worked for everything. Exactly. You know how to fight. I worked for everything. Yeah.

That's what a lot of people get confused. Like, I can speak for myself. I worked for everything. But that's also how I was brought up. It's like, I'm also a person. I don't like things handed to me. It's naturally. I don't want you to just come with your hand out.

Like, oh, yeah, here's this thing. Go do it because it's just like, people can tell. Like, oh, I don't even know who this kid is. Where he came from. At least now, I got a little bit of a history. People can go back and be like, oh, he's been doing this for a little minute. And it's just now finally clicking with people. It takes a long time.

That's how I felt. I didn't know Roob's your pop. Yeah. You know what I mean? I had heard your music before, but over the holidays, Nala was just letting me hear a bunch of time. Yeah, because Sholomey was not a fan in the beginning. Tell us about it.

Everybody had the experience with Shalema. I think Nala might have played the last tape. And he was just like, uh, it is what it is. But you got to admit you stepped up literally. No, 1,000%. I feel like you was making. records that you thought were going to be that radio with water here.

I did do a lot of that. There was a lot of conforming. You were dumping down your pin. I did a lot of that. Yeah, it's just like, I've completely stepped out of it. That whole person that was doing that is, I hit the scar.

The first time I think Nala played it was, it was May 2025, right? And I remember listening to it. I remember hearing and I was like, though, this kid is dope. And that's when your pops in me, he's like, yo, you know, that's my son. That's the kid I've been telling you about.

That's the soul's in the play with you. May 25 was lyricic. Did your dad want you in the, industry, seeing that everything he's seen through Biggie and Bad Boy, did he want you in the industry? He never told me he didn't. More than anything, he just like, that's what you asked for. Like, when I call him like, yo, I'm cooked.

I've been out five days. He's like, and? Like, yeah, you're going to be out a lot more days. You keep doing what you're doing. So my mom's was more so like, oh, you don't want to, you want to go get a job. You're tripping. Like, I know. I'm sorry.

I don't knock nobody that has a job. I just, I'm not doing it. What's in your path? Yeah. You're going to do it. Yeah, I got to do it. But Pops was always like, I see it. Like, you can do this.

Keep doing it. Let's go. What do you tell you the most difficult thing was, and the reason I asked is he's seen Big when nobody believe. And Big had to go to rounds of rapping outside and freestyle and to the world court. So what was his advice to you? Just keep the most cliche advice. It's just like keep doing it.

Because you just, exactly. Like you see it all. You see from one day it's just like your man's just a hustler on the corner. And then he's the biggest thing in the world. before he passes away and then when he passes away he's even bigger it's just like I've seen this for my own two eyes you can you can definitely do this like you just keep doing what you got to do so I'm just here doing what I got to do to the best of my ability what was the ball for you what what was the person that you said it was like that's that's the lane I want to go through it's always been jZ for me

since I was a kid like I didn't like naz damn tell them how you feel yeah like that's how biased I was like jZ was just like he's the guy but getting older it's like like Kendrick and cole Kendrick is somebody that I feel like never conformed to nothing. And he figured it out. It's mad people that don't like Kendrick. Even before the drink beef. It's like, we don't want to listen to that. There's too many words.

I don't know what he's talking about. To pimper butterfly. I don't get it. Whatever the case may be. And it's just like, look at them. Why not? Just do what you got to do. Because everybody that's super successful,

even though the legacy acts that we were just talking about, it's like, they all did their own thing. And that's why they're still here, 50 years old, selling out. of stadiums. It's like, we got four, five of us my age

and I could do that right now. What made you a believer? What was the moment that you said this could really happen? What was that moment? You want to know it was crazy? I dropped my first song

on like all the DSPs in 2018, right? By the third song, I went viral. I dropped the song called a West with King Combs and O3 Grito. That went up.

That was like it because after that, I got a feature from Chris Brown just because he liked the song. Just out of the song. You just out of the song? You feel? me just being around the right people, they're playing my music. I was in Hampton, stress,

just like, oh my gosh, like, my man Ralph calling me like, yo, CB, he wants to get on this song. I'm like, stop calling me about this. Do it. Like, I'm not going to say, no, I don't want a Chris Brown feature. And it just kept going from there. I got to push your T feature after that, but this is all out of like the respect of how I'm operating in this space. Like, okay, this kid is actually nice. Yeah, we do know who he is, but that doesn't, that's not everything. That's just extras. So for me, it's just. like it's always been little points that I made that just shows me like

alright you got you got something if you keep doing what you're supposed to do with whatever's supposed to happen and click is going to click and you'll be straight. Who from Chris Brown's camp called you? Somebody called you or did they call you? My man Ralph is actually from my camp but he on some just LA

hanging around he got cool with CB so he started hanging with CB's camp and hanging with CB's camp he's playing. You feel me? He playing the back home stuff and CB is just like, yo, I already know this. Like, I know him. I know it's pops. I know the whole crew.

I like this song. And CB's one of those people. Like, if he likes a, he's, he will get on your song. He did it. And me being in school, he's like, yo, let's shoot the video next week. I'm like, ah, bro, like, I got class tomorrow. I got class tomorrow. In business, every Thursday.

You got a suit on the top. I got class. And now I look back like, damn, I should have left. You should have left. I swear there wasn't a video. I was following the rules. much. No, there was nobody. I thought that there was something.

You buggy. But I understand. You know, I tweet. You could have said you were sick. I could have been in emergency. You could have missed a day or two. I could have did anything. Yeah.

But what was like at that point? It's like you knew you had something. But you didn't know that you had something enough where you was like, I got to go shoot this video. Now, let me tell you what it was. I was about to graduate. Okay. I'm so close. I'm just like, if I leave now, I'm never coming back.

I think I respect that. I get you. That's what I was, that was my logic behind the relationship. You could have a day. I'm like if I leave, no, let me tell you something. If I left for that day, I was never going back to school. Got you. And you wanted to be back.

And it's just like, I've already wasted this much money and time. I barely wanted to be here. I'll be damned if I don't finish it. I'm right here. I respect that. You know what I mean? So it's just like, that's, it was like a, it wasn't a dream deferred, but it was kind of a dream deferred because once we put it out,

it was just like, well, that's that. Did you understand? Because you was on a college campus and it can be like such a bubble? Did you understand the virality of the, Like, did you feel it? I dropped the song with CB during COVID, so no. Okay, because I remember, like, that was a first, I didn't, it's crazy because I, that song, they would play it a lot in, I was living in LA at the time when y'all dropped it.

The tech song or the West? No, the West. Oh, no, that song, I, yeah, I experienced that vibe. That was my first time hearing, but I didn't know you were the same person when Nile started talking about you. This is how crazy it was, right? The song was so much bigger than me, and I was in school, I wasn't about to graduate. This is like prime time school.

I would escape every other. weekend or so the song was so much bigger to me they were perform it at live in my my my man's V he used to be my manager he's my like one of my best friends he would perform for me because nobody knew what I looked like that's crazy so the people that I would go to school with they know it's my song because I go to school with y'all but outside of the world like I would be just outside and people are listening to they used I mean we would be at hookabars everything that song was going crazy he wouldn't start recognizing what I looked like until this year wow so what got

you to to drama generation now because they are a southern label Yeah You are East Coast rapper Yeah What I mean? So now Look I ended up After I graduated

I was like I don't really know What else I can do in New York I was born and raised here It's time for me to spread my wings and fly Atlanta was like the next best thing I moved to Atlanta December 20th

2019 I kid you not I had a sold out show at SOBs Then I drove down to Atlanta Started working You know the studio in Atlanta It's like the stoop in New York.

Everybody's you can catch anybody at any studio. Wings, everything. Literally. So I'm, do you know, me and my manager,

we just jugging around Atlanta. We find in studios to record in for free, just building, doing all that. And by, I say,

2022, one of my uncles moved around with Lakin'em a lot. He was just like, yo, I know y'all looking for like a real rapper.

I gotta check how. Like, I gotta check out. And even my pops would double down. Like, yo, 22, right? 22.

And Jack Hall-Lor, he was looking for a real. real rap. And Lake's like, that's a fact. They're like, they don't switch hats and cars.

And this is a rapper. And Lake's like Dan. Don't put me in this. Like, no, yeah, Lake is here.

Right away. Lake told me to come to the office. And this is how I knew I was, I was going to Janelle. I went to the office. I played 15 songs.

Have you ever been to a label? meeting guys they'll never let you play more than three ever never get more than three i play 15 and they just locked in like word okay and then after the last song was done like was like yeah i want to sign you i started recording then he was like the last person you got to get to is canon is a tough critic he doesn't like anything if he likes you we're good canning can't came to studio one day is like yo what up here it's a beat he gave me a beat it was like a rendition of song cry i might have did the whole song in 20 minutes he was like oh no all right But the craziest thing is, a year before that, I had DM cannon.

Like, yo, I got a song. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, I did. He opened the DM. He was like, this is trash. Hey. He's on some shawlam. He was like, man. This is, this is terrible.

Nah, it is. Because I ain't going to lie. Did you tell him that during that? Yeah, he had, if he was here, he'd be like, yeah, I did. You wouldn't have wanted what you were doing then to be. Like, like, I think where you are right now and how it's happening, it's like, this is you. Like, this is you. Like, it's so crazy putting you with that song, those other songs.

You really are like a whole different person. What is something that canon or leg or drama corrected in you that initially irritated you? But you realize like, Danny, right? Why the hell is Lake laughing? It must have been more than one. It must have been on the way here. More than anything, a lot of it.

Because he met the timid soul, the one that's like, I don't want to do nothing. I don't, you feel me? So a lot of that, I feel like the grand scheme is artist development. I really wasn't a firm. I didn't think it existed. But being with them, it's just like, okay, I could still be developed.

I even thought I was at that. When I dropped all of them records, I'm like, I don't need no coaching, no nothing. Like, I've been here before. It's like, no, you have not. It's a lost art. You have not been here. But that's what I think Generation Now does so well.

Yeah. What other labels don't do. Like, you can see the work they put in Oozoo. You can see the work they put in the hall. You can see the work that they put in artists that most people won't do. I think a lot of it, too, is they are producers and DJs so they hear a different sound. Exactly. And for me, it's just like, why not listen?

Because in the beginning it's just like, no, I'm not. I don't even care what they're saying. I might not have vocalized it, but it's just like, I'm not doing that. Like, I'm not. That's crazy. But now it's just like, nah, they're right. Nah, they are. They're right.

They know what they're doing. They're right. I've heard you talk about dealing with anxiety. Yeah. Because you wrote a book called a book about it. Trankle. Yeah, overcoming the experience. While I was in Hampton, I was going through it.

What was so bad? What was difficult? I had went through something before getting there. At Dell State, it was crazy. It was like the experience I never went through, especially being from Brooklyn to go through something like that in Delaware. It was just like, this makes no sense. Something that traumatized you?

It wasn't really traumatic. It was just something that I ain't really never go through. And it almost got a little bit too real. Realer than it, I ever would have seen it coming. But in the moment, it's just like I'm dealing with it head on. Like, I'm not tucking my tail for nothing. What was the moment if you don't mind of that? I just got into it with a bunch of people that I didn't even know I was getting into it.

It's like it's just coming from angles. And it wasn't just me. It was just a group of my peers. And it's just like people we thought we was cool with. They did something shady one day. And now we're just at odds with Philly, from Delaware. And it was just like, all right.

I don't even know what's going on. But I do know I'm protecting myself by any means. So whatever it is, it is. I left and that's when the anxiety started to crack from me. And I'm just like, yo, what's going on? I'm having heart palpitations. Panic attack. I go straight to the hospital.

I'm like, I'm about to die. It's over. It's over for me. I guess the hospital, like, you're having, it's an anxiety attack, it's a panic attack. I'm just like, oh, okay.

But it happened after the fact. So it's just like, okay, I didn't know what was going on. So I only left Del State because I initially wanted to go to Hampton. Straight out of high school, my grades,

I just didn't meet it. I didn't meet the requirement. So I went to Dell State first. I had like a 3-3. Went to Hampton. I got to Hampton. I'm thinking it's going to be just like, in a beginning,

I'm like, oh, it's going to be just as fire as Dell State because Dell State is the ghetto. I loved it. I got to Hampton. It's like, Booty. Yeah, y'all got to be a side

at 11 o'clock. I said, whoa. Curfew until homecoming. I said, whoa. Yo, my first roommate used to have seizures. My R.D. didn't tell me. Like, it was just like, I just.

You thought you like your music. But the craziest thing is, he's good. We should laugh at that. I'm not. I'm not. I don't know. He's good.

He's good. Okay. But nobody told me. So one day you're just chilling in the room. Like, it might have been the first day. And I don't even know what to do. And I'm not even laughing at it. I'm laughing at Charleneyne.

Salamane did this. I don't know what happened. He started. I'm just like, oh, no. Like, hold on. The ID was like, oh, yeah, by the way. I'm like, by the way, this is not something you buy the way. Right.

And you're supposed to tell me this. You're worried up. I was like, cool. I might be able to deal with it. He might got to like the third, fourth joint. I'm like, all right, bro. Respectfully, but I don't know what I'm going through right now, and I'll be there, but we're both in here.

We just bugging out. What all you were saying? You was James Hall? Harkness. Harkness, all, okay. Yeah, cooked. It was cooked. And he was like, now I respected it.

I end up moving downstairs. Everything was, I wanted to, and in the beginning, I kid you know, I wanted to transfer the week I got there. I was like, yeah, I got to get out of here. I feel like I'm in prison. I can't. There's no visitation.

I'm like, what is this? I hit pops, I'm like, yo, can I go to Clark? He was like, no, you're not leaving. You're going to thug it out. And then as time progressed, it got better. Like, I just,

I think it gets better once you realize. I think, disciplined just. Yeah. Well, that's what is. It's about discipline. It's, you got to think,

when people go to college, a lot of times, they lose themselves because they never had that much freedom. Yeah. So what Hampton does is it it guides you to get to that point.

Imagine having the freedom. Yeah, because at Del State, you just. Del State, I got my car. You better be smart about life. I'm in a co-ed dorm. My RA is damn near my age. So it's like I'm not ever listening to you about nothing.

And it's just turned. I get to Hampton. It's like I'm in an all-boys dorm. 11 o'clock. Can't have your car. Can't have your car. You will get out by five. And I'm just like, wait a minute.

Hold on. It's a lot. I didn't even have this back home. So for me, it's just like with the anxiety I already had. And then just dealing with that. I went to therapy. That's the first time I'm going to therapy at Hampton. And it was just like, that's good.

I'm tonight. It wasn't good for me. Because I went and I'm just like, miss, I'm bugging out every day. But that's what I did. Coming to you once a week is not efficient. You got to go more. Because once you realize it's something happening to your mind and not your body, is able to put it in proper perspective.

And then I just started like the idle mind is really the playground of the devil. I started just getting out more. Like, all right, let me go tapping with people. Let me go workout. Let me go to the calf. Let me just do the student center. Whatever I can do to just ease my mind. And then it helped and then I ended up writing a book.

I'm just like, I know it's not only helped me or the people that's in school. Everybody deals with it at some point. That's right. So this is something that I can just share it with the world. But you know what? That's what I went to Hampton, that's what put me tight with the locals. Yeah. Because what I would do is, first of all, I would be out on the weekend, so I would get out.

Or I would sneak out, sneak out. And I would walk down the back by the park lot behind the cemetery. Use a Harkness? That wasn't James. And I would sneak out. But that's what got me cool. the locals because you couldn't be couldn't come after 10 so I'm hanging out with

push a tea at 10 Montgomery I'm with Alan Ivers and I'm with all the locals there in the 7-5 I was in the 7-5 so I knew more people locally yeah than the actual school because it because of all those I was DJing had to pay the bills that's a fact and me I also I was I was I was jaded in the sense I was like I got a little bit of Instagram thing I got more followers

than everybody here I don't care about nothing y'all gone know me that's really what my mindset was So what got you to the point where the anxiety slowed down and you would be able to control it a little more, I should say. Just the process of just doing things. Like I realized, like what Charlemagne just said, once you realize, it's like, oh, this is a mind thing. I started doing things and I started going outside

and laughing and having fun and just chopping it up with joints and all that. It's just like, it's not even there no more. Then I'll go back home and it's just like, oh, back is against the wall. And I'm just like, oh, okay. This is a mind thing. I can get over this. As long as I just continue to do it on.

And by time, the next school year, it's just like, I'm cool. I ain't tribut about nothing. I'll tell you one thing, though, you're about to have a baby. That parental paranoia, anxiety of being a parent, I'm telling you right now, it's going to come back. You already kind of setting your boundaries, though, it sounds like, because I know on a project you talk about,

you know, your kids about to come, you're not playing with people. Yeah. Congratulations. Congratulations. Thank you. You're going to hit you with the, you're about a great. You're about having a girl.

All my anxiety right now literally is all. Thank you. I got four girls. All of my anxiety is rooted in my family and my kids. InVee, chilling. Yeah. Now, I'll be chilling because I keep my family with me in sight. Like, I'm the one that's like, we won't move together.

Like, you know what I mean? Like, my daughter before she go, we all on Life 360. I go on vacations with her. She's 24 now, so we go to the club with each other. We go to the hookah spot. I keep them close because I am concerned. But I'm just telling you right now. It's balance.

Yeah, it really is. My daughter with the NYU, so I can make sure I can sit there. Oh, yeah. I'm back. I'm back. I'm not dad. He was dealing with the egg. Yeah, but the crazy thing is my son with the University of Miami.

I'm like, ah, I had my n-see you later, man. It's so much different. Because I wanted a boy initially, and when I found out it was a girl, I was just like, ah, that. At first I was like, oh, all right. But now I'm just like, I can't wait to meet her because now I, you'd have been right here. What's the baby do? October.

Wow. Were you old in past life? Who? Huh? What? If you could hear me, I didn't even hear. Were you a hole in a past life? I did my, you know?

That's right. I did my dirt up by my lonely. I don't. And that's what the girl is for. Who's not? That's right. That's right. Look at me.

We've been catching up with some great friends, Paul Rod, Michael Boubley, Seth Myers, Nile Horan, Jake Shane, and making some new friends while getting into what's really like to have sisters, like Alex and Asgen-Nurl. She likes to control everyone and tell everyone what to do. Okay, well, control is a harsh word. I would say that's a harsh word. I am more outspoken. Growing up a lot of the times because she was so quiet. I would speak for like the both of us.

Now I'm working on like thinking a moment, reeling it in, thinking before I speak. And Joey King. You know if your like mom is yelling at your sibling and even if you're annoyed with your sibling, you just like won't let that slide. It's like only you can yell at your sibling. I'm like, you can't do that here.

That is, you do not talk about her like that. Only I talk about her like that. Plus, we've been taking your calls, listening to your voicemails and giving you advice. Or at least trying to.

On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us.

Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is, and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months. I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files.

I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Let's get right to the latest one are. Lauren becoming a free thing. Tell her, lady. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. 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 you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Top Dog Lo! Good morning, y'all.

Good morning. What happened, girl. Nothing. So we got to get into some things this morning because Nouri is responding to a lawsuit that was filed this week. and we received the statement on the lawsuit. So first, let me back up and give you guys some background because we hadn't talked about this yet.

There's a woman named Carmen Brian, who is the mother of one of Naz's children that filed a lawsuit against Nouri earlier this week in New York. Now, she is alleging that there was an incident that went down in May of 1999. And in this lawsuit, she is alleging that Norie was drunk at a party, and he approached her allegedly in front of a bunch of witnesses and committed digital.

penetration is how it's listed in the dock. What is digital penitence? Digital group is your fingers. Oh. I didn't know that either until this. Yes, but yes. So she alleges that that happened in front of witnesses in a party and that and she also alleges that none of her attempts to stop

this worked. It was only when third parties intervened that everything stopped. Now, Norrie has responded as I mentioned for his team, his attorney. So this statement says the allegations by Ms. Brian are invented interactions, about invented interactions with Mr. Santiago, who is Nori, from nearly three decades ago, are entirely false. It should be noted that Ms. Brian has a

long history of making salacious and contested claims about public figures. This includes a 2006 tell-all book where she provided detail about her personal vendettas and sexual encounters with celebrities. Yet nowhere in this tell-all or her 2018 book, Life After Child Support, when the checks stopped coming. Did she mention Mr. Santiago or anything resembling this alleged incident. We will defend Mr. Santiago from this legally groundless lawsuit and look forward to exposing Ms. Bryan's fabrications in court as we are clear

Mr. St. As we clear Norie's name. So that was from his attorneys. Norie, is his Spanish? No, he's half black, half Spanish. I did not know that. Yeah, he's half black half Spanish. But I wonder how do you prove something or how do you get evidence for something that's 27

years old? And if she wrote, tell all books, like you say, you would think something like that will be in it. Yeah, I'm not for sure how she plans to do that. But in the doc, she says that she disclosed this assault. She alleged she disclosed this assault years ago to

Jay-Z and that she was you know, and he was going to confront Nory at one time personally, but she accidentally found a way to bring Jay-Z into every that damn thing. Like, that's true. Yeah, the lawsuit characterizes misconduct of assault battery, gender-motivated violence under the New York

law. Yeah, yeah, this is the last thing. So let's go to the cops. Bring Jay-Z in the Every damn thing. Don't go to the cops. I'm going to tell Jay-Z. Oh, he's going to do something like. But Nause is her baby father.

Crazy. Yeah, she says that once, allegedly during this incident, once Nory recognized her as a Niza's partner outside the club. He immediately apologized, saying, I didn't know it was you. You were doing something different with, you did something different with your hair.

And he tried to apologize weeks later. So there's a whole thing that's here, but I don't know how, you know, from that time to now you plan to move forward, She says that she remained silent until she read about Cassie's lawsuit against Diddy. So, yes. By the way, that wasn't, when I hear that, I'm like, I chose to remain silent until I saw Cassie's lawsuit, aka until I saw how much money Cassie got.

Yeah. Hello? There's a lot of other, there's been a lot of other lawsuits and things that have happened that one in particular. But 27 years, yeah. 27 years. Crazy. Come on.

Yeah. Come on. All right. Well, moving on. next story. So Clarissa Shields and Remy Ma are back at it again online going back and forth. No. Yeah. So the other day there was a video that Remy posted from behind the scenes of her video

that she has were Alicia Baumgartners in the video, the disc song that she did to Clarissa. Remember that? So there's there's been like little kind of like sub-tweets I guess you would call it if that's still a thing. But now it's actually more direct because I'll just read the tweets. So Clarissa to post it, she says she's laughing some more, and then she's calling, she's talking about, she's asking who's press.

So Remy says, I be laughing when I hear you lie like you wasn't meat, surfing me for years. I'll address that in detail eventually too, but in case you forgot, here's you and my DMs from January 2020 to 2024. Weirdo, I tried to help you flugly self, now you hate me. So then Remy shows some of the DMs.

Remember she was showing those DMs before. But there's one DM that was new that I saw that where Remy was talking about coming to the fight and she was like, yeah, I'm marking the fight down right now because hubby loves you. So that was like kind of awkward. How you spell fugly? I just need to go with it.

F-U-G-L-Y. You know, I already knew that. Yeah, and then Clarissa continues, and she's saying that Remy was under her post-pressed. She says that Remy has been pressed for the last two years. She's asking, who has Remy ever pulled up on who's scared of you? She says Remy's going through midlife prices, and she alleges that Remy cheated on Pappoose Sweet Easy.

Now she's getting choked by the white boy because of the song that Remy just dropped with what's the artist? Millie. Millie, yes. Yeah. So, yeah, there's back and forth. Remy's posting the tattoo that Pappoos had

the Remy bottle with her on the mic. And she says, I'm really from New York. I promise you a thousand percent. You're getting jumped, possibly poked. F you thought. Who said that? No. Oh, Lord.

Thanks for the crime. We all just get along, gosh. She told her to take Pepu still cover up artist for his tattoo. Yeah, but the whole premise of, I'm not the premise, but another part of this is that Remy says that they're headed back in the court today. And people were asking Clarissa

if she was going to court and she's like, it's virtual. That was a part of it as well. And I know, you know, just from Rumblings behind the scenes that they've been in court for like the last like two weeks, Papoose and Remy had been. So Remy said in a post yesterday as well to Papoose, if you really, you know, show your love for Clarissa and she put papers

with like signing papers emoji. So I don't like any of this. I don't either. And it all seems very, very, very messy. and I don't know how it got to this point between those two individuals Because it started Because it shouldn't even be between the two women

It should be between Papoose and Remi I agree I think the songs didn't help The interviews didn't don't help But we see how we got to But we see how we saw how it got to this point Maybe I don't be paying attention

I don't know I'm telling you It's Remy is Clarisa doing the interviews Where even if she doesn't say Remy's name She's talking about the situation And Remy doesn't like that It's the song that Remy did where she has Clarissa's, you know, boxing ops in the video. I hate one of these things.

Stupid boy. We know how this guy here. When you don't be knowing stuff, I don't know either. All right. This is your lane. I'm just saying, you know how, yes, you do. At this point, though, I just hope that. But they're talking about poking each other online?

No, I don't know how I got to this point. You got to this point where they threatened violence towards each other? Well, yes. One said I'll beat all three, y'all love. And the other one said, we don't fight. Fair will jump you. You might even poke you. Like, that's how it got there.

But hopefully it, they, you know, calm down. But it really got there from the beginning when they went back and forth. And one was in another DMs and they thought they were friendly and it didn't happen like that. Yeah. But at the end of the day, I hope it stops here. You know, they have a child together. I just hope whatever happens, they get their divorce and they both move on. Because like you said, I don't want to see anybody get hurt.

This is just silly. I don't want to see anybody go to jail. I don't want to see nobody, you know, get injured. you know they have a child together I hope that whatever happens in court today you said they're in court today at 9.30 a.m. They figure out the divorce and then they move on. Yeah. I hope. I just wonder what is holding it up at this point. Like if it's to this point where she's like, yo, just signed the

papers like what is let's probably negotiations. They probably trying to split stuff. Like it's you know what I mean? They were together for a while. I mean, I know they probably had businesses together and you know it's just not as easy to get divorced. It's easy to get married. Yeah. But it ain't easy to get divorced. We have assets with each other. I'm sure they've got to be broken out. You know what I mean? Yeah.

And I'm sure child support. I'm sure, you know, they've been married. But this has been a long time. And the opinions of other people don't make it no better. Not a doubt. That's why when you play all of this stuff online publicly, then everybody got an opinion and people don't know what the hell they be talking about. And then they're asking you about stuff in interviews and you respond.

And it's just like all of this should have been kept between the ex-husband, ex-husband, ex-wife, and the mediators. But in the beginning, they were trying. Remember? and like in the way beginning before Remy got on live we were hearing that there was like a something happening but they were keeping it within their household right and it exploded yeah it's hard to not have an opinion

it's always mentioned you know what I mean so here we are well look I hope it don't get to where it can it sounds like it's going at all period it's already like it's shanked you know what I mean yeah all right all right it's definitely there all right yeah that's what I just said

I just hope it could calm down a lot. I hope it can't leave online, is what I'm saying. I just calm down. Like Charlemagne said, it should have just stayed between those two and then we're still talking about this. But it didn't. We know what it is. Guys wrap up, y'all.

We got to get out of here. Man, I just hope everything will be all right, man. Yes, I do. We do. I do. I do. I do. I do.

I mean, I get it. I don't want everybody to be okay. I don't want everybody to get hurt. So do I. Messy. No, you don't like. No, I don't like, well, you know, it's all right. It's entertaining.

But at the same time, it's not. That was brought to you by Top Dog Law, y'all. They won over a billion dollars for their clients. If you guys get an accident, make the call Top Dog Law. Their bark is their bite. All right. You're like, y'all don't know why we got here. I don't.

It's the people's donkey up next. 1-800-585-105-1. You can call up and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. That's right. It's the breakfast close. It's your time to nominate a donkey of your own. Remember that. That's how they choose.

Come on. Good morning. Good morning. What a day. Charlie. WEPA. Good morning, brother. I got to give it to my baby's mother, man, or my daughter's mother and Lauren. But two separate reasons.

Okay. My daughter's mother, you know, I'm an active father, and I've been an active father in my daughter's life. And the last two years of my daughter's teenage life of 16 and 18, my daughter's mother's been trying to convince her that I'm the bad guy. But yeah, I'm the one that provide everything. And I try and, you know, push my daughter in the right direction to make something of herself. and she's trying to tell her that, you know, I'm stressing her out and I'm telling her, you know, what to be and what to do. And I'm just trying to tell her, I'm a supporting father

and anything you pick or choose that you want to do in life. I'm near to support that. That's right. I don't think that's a bad message. I agree. I agree. No, I got to give it to me. Lauren, I think you missed the whole point of back when the T.K.

K. K.K. Kirkland, interview happened. He was trying to tell you, like, You'd be coming up with some stuff and you'd be throwing a lot of weed. Wee in the culture. Charlemagne said it like two days ago. You bought up something. He was like, who wants to hear this? You were like, we want to hear this.

We don't want to hear none of that. She means hot stuff. Well, you're one person. You can't speak for we either. You want Charlemagne is weed? You kind of. Yeah, we got the same person. You're making the same.

That don't mean nothing. Y'all, you're making the same point. Why are you getting defensive? I can speak back to him the same way you do. Because she represents. It don't make no sense. She covered everything when they got to do with Taylor Swift, but then when you listen to other stations that should color Taylor Swift,

they don't even cover it now. That's a lie. Wow. That is a lie. That is a lie. That is a lie. And they only supporting you because they need an ambassador for the prize. He said it's the milk of magnesium news.

Yeah. That is a lie. What's the last thing got covered? What's the last thing I cover with Taylor Swift, sir? He just mean white stories in general. What's the last thing I cover with Taylor Swift? What's the last white story I'm saying? There's so many positive things to cover.

At least give us a week of straight positivity, not one negative story of the COVID. Damn, a week. You're tripping. Give us a week. We'll see. Stay tuned. Thank you, brother. Good morning.

Who's this? Hello. Hey, good morning. How are you doing? What up, Adele? Who you want to get the biggest he hard to? I'm not to give it to all, sir. ever. Damn.

Touch you when they like today. And it may not even be because of they may have thoughts towards America or they only have a good reason but they like to hide in civilian territory and on the low people they cannot defend themselves. Yeah, I don't think there's ever a good reason

to kill a bunch of innocent people, man. Like, like, never. I've never felt like that. Like, don't, I don't care with you a mass shooter, a terrorist. Like, don't take out your frustration or your anger on innocent people. Yeah, I can respect that, man.

so darkly go to sit down. His shop and Justin may see you this weekend. Jesse, he said he may see you this weekend. That's what's up. Della's in Maryland, man. So try to come out if you can.

Good morning. Who's this? On there, Marco. What's up? You said, Marco? Yes, sir. Good morning. What's up, my brother?

Who do you want to get the biggest he-haught to? You're probably get a biggest he-haw to my ex-girls for a big woman. Okay, what happened? All right, man. So it's been a series of things that happened in the last two years, you know what I'm saying?

I moved to Florida. about two, three years ago, first six months was love. After that, it didn't hell, man. The woman that put me through her, I let her be a stay-at-home hard. You know what I'm saying?

I drive big rigs, and all that. Take care of her. Take care of my kids. Even her kid, that's not mine, you know what I'm saying? But she does do a lot, man. She put me through the ringer.

And every time we get into it on her phone, and so we break up so far, four-n-n-po break up with a-oh. Excuse me, I just want to go on the radio. But she goes, I'm like this person or her, like, that person, or X or whatever, and just want to give her the biggest tee-haw, man. Absolutely. She petty.

I hope, it is my hope that everybody out there with baby mama, baby daddy, drama issues, I really hope that y'all can reconcile, man. If not for y'all, just for the sake of the kids, yo. I hate to see these type of situations, and I hate the, you know, baby daddies that don't take care of their kids, and I hate the baby mothers that keep the baby dads. that keep the baby daddy's away who want to take care of their kids.

Right. Good morning. Who's this? Yo, Gary. Yo, Gary, turn the radio or the TV down, Gary. I did. What's happening?

Who you want to get the biggest he-hard too? Man, the city with Allendeell, man, they're sleeping on the bratsfield, man. They still sleeping right. Sleep my how, would you rap or something? No, I'm a book popping. You've heard a book online every day.

What's up, Jeff? What's up, baby? What's up, man? Chill-in-chiller. Yeah, he bought a house. a book. Did you get a chance to read it? On Arm 2032. Which one was it?

He didn't read it. He bought it down. On Arm 2032 in the future. I was talking about Trayvon Martin and all them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. On Arm, 232. I did order that. I ordered that.

Yeah. I did order on. He didn't get a chance to read. No, I ain't get a chance to read it, Gary. My fault. I ain't get a chance to read it. But I did order it, though, because I just think that is a... I'm all about alt history, man.

I got a lot of things I'm working on that are about alt history. So I like this premise you got. Yeah, you got to raise three of them. Unarmed 232 was the first one. On Arm 2 is the puppet master. And unarmed three is a world at war. But all of those people died in ICE custody, all of those things. All of that happened in real life.

You know what I wanted to ask you? How was AI going to play a role into your all future? Because I know you saw, you know, recently all of these AI whistleblowers saying that, you know, they feel like AI could kill us when. in the next 10 years. And I know that your book has like cyborgs hunting down people. So what do you think of that?

Yeah, I believe that as well. And I talk about it at one of my other books. It's called The Insider, Our End of Trust. That book right there, I talk about where AIs take over, how they talk and communicate amongst themselves. Yeah. It was an article the other day where the AI system,

two different AI systems were talking to each other. I saw that. I saw that. I saw that and they created their own language and they couldn't understand what they were saying. Right. If you sit there and take a look at it, Salamane, even way back with Tina Turner movie, Beyond Thunder Dome, you see how water was the biggest thing. Water was a hot commodity. These AI systems fucking up the oceans right now.

They're fucking up so much water from the earth and people are not even paying that no attention. But if you look at those older movies, it shows a world world world. we didn't have any water. That's, man. I don't like to talk too much, but I'm not... And I talked about all of that in my book. I've been talking about this for years in my book. What's your Instagram, Gary?

People have been telling me I was ahead of my time. Even back in the days when I used to sell drugs, they were like, man, you're ahead of your time. You read these books, you're going to be like, this man was talking about all of this stuff years ago, and they said if you want to hire something from black, people put it in the book, but I wasn't trying to hide it. I was just trying to get my people ahead of what I was thinking

and what I was reading. That's right. You was ahead of your time. You were selling perks when everybody else was still selling crack. Hey, what's your Instagram,

Gary? I need your Instagram, man. I know what that's the name. My Instagram is Gary, the author. Well, no,

that's my TikTok, my daughter set up, my daughter, Leanne. Gary, the author, oh, my TikTok is convicted conversation. I know,

what's your Instagram, man? Convicted conversation. DM me real quick so I can follow you back, man. I got you. All right,

Pee. Listen, we do the people's donkey every Friday 1, $100, 5-8-5-105-1, you can call up and get somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. Or you can go to the IHart Radio app and go to the Breakfast Club page and go to the talkback feature and leave a message, man.

All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NVJ. Just hilarious. Sholomey and God. We are the Breakfast Club. Long-Lauros is here as well. We got a special guest in the building.

Yes, indeed. Be de mine. He's back. Let me. What's up? How you feeling, man? I'm feeling good. Another album out right now?

Yes, though. Eminence. Eminence. Yeah. Why eminence? What's that mean? Evidence means, you know, being the leader of everything. Yeah. That's really what it means.

So is it celebrating what you accomplished or just reminding people who you are? Yeah, just reminding people who are you. Word. Yeah. And what do I stand for, really? Yeah. Where are you trying to top your other records? Or would you different?

No, it's not trying to, I'm not trying anything. I'm just doing what I always been doing. because, you know, you say, can somebody give you a crown and call you the king of the dancehouse? Somebody called you the guys of some sugar, somebody, you know. You know, so eminence is just like, yeah. High status.

Yeah, high status. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're superior in your field. There you go. Top of the, top of the food chain. So you know you always start, mess, when you say, you know, people say, when they talk about the king of dance all

and then they're at the level. So now they're going to say, but does that mean I'm the top of everybody in my coaching? I'm the eminence of Dancer. There we go. Blessing. He even got a nice little twang to us. He was very regal.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah. So, yeah, you can't be like doing the same thing over and over and over and over. You got to step up your game. So in this business, it's like a staircase. So you have one staircase.

One to one, one, one and then you step up to the top. That's where it is. It's not me putting myself to the top. It's me working towards being. being the top of the food chain. I like the title because there's a difference between being famous and being imminent. Like fame is just a tension.

Eminence is like, like you said, the respect you earned over time. Yes. Which one took you longer to understand? There's no longer to understand. I've been in this business for 40 years. You know, so I've been there, done that. I'm still here doing it.

So you know what I'm saying? sense is just, you know, make sense. Yeah. Have you seen the reassurgence of dance hall and reggae music on radio? Because at one time, I was talking to somebody, I think, a couple weeks ago. We would hear tunes on radio, right? Labor Day in Brooklyn was one of the biggest parades ever. And it seemed like it took a downfall for a little bit.

Are you starting to say it come back now? No, I was dear. You was there? You was there this year? I was, yeah. I was in, yeah, I was there. Labor Day. I was there.

Unicham. Sing it. And people was, I couldn't see the other truck behind us. That's the amount of people that was following us. So I only say he take a step back. I think people just want to see the right way that you're supposed to be like. You know? And I think some people is not doing it like how they're supposed to do it, like how it used to be done. And you know, evolution is a must.

so, you know, the music step up. So I think people just want to see the originality that I tend to see at the music and all of that. And that's what I gave to them. And this album, trust me, because I did some old school hip-hop. I did some old school times all that. I did one of my classic and this album.

And, yeah, it's really nice. Did money ruin it? Because it was a time where artists wanted to be at those parades, wanted to be at those events. And then I feel like you got to a time with people like, well, how much you're going to give me to be at these events? I remember there were times where you went to every parade.

Yeah. Puerto Rican Day parade. Western and Parade. African American Day parade. You wanted to be seen and heard. And I felt like for a lot, I think money kind of ruined it. I think what ruined it is because I lost my visa for like 13 years. So if I did have it, it wouldn't be like that.

You'd have been in every parade. Yeah, I'd be every birthday. Yeah. Happy every pirate. See, then everybody will have followed. But right now, everybody thinking about the money, the money. How much to make the church? How much to pay the sound system?

How much to DJ get paid? How much what get paid? So how much I'm going to get paid? So, you see, when you make music all about the business and no longer about music, I think that's what must it. It's like some artists get a one-hit song and forgot that he need to go back to studio. to make another one.

So, you know, I feel that's who I miss it, really. Now, you know, this week is the 25th anniversary of 9-11. You remember where you were when 9-11 hit? Were you here or were you in Jamaica? No, 9-11, I actually left the 10. I was here in America, New York. And I leave and went back to Jamaica. They let the planes leave or you had to wait for a while?

No, the 10. The day before. Oh, you left the 10th. Yeah, I left the 10th. But I was watching, what's the name? Good morning, America. Yeah, because I think I did have something coming on. And ABC in the morning.

And I was waiting to see it. Then it was supposed to come after the trading thing. When they go to the trade. And then I saw the plane. Boom. Okay. I'm not coming on TV today. And that was the day that I realized that, the world changed.

And, yeah, it wasn't a good day for nobody. No. Trust me, it wasn't a good day. And when I saw that, I realized that the world changed. Because when a country like United States get attacked, it's not like a easy country to get attacked. It's not like, you know, it's not something that you expect to happen. America do the attack.

America is the bullies. They go around and like, say something. Just say one more thing. And then you see America get attacked. It's like, hmm. And then you hear the cops died and the fireman died. It wasn't a good thing. People started to jump off the building,

top and all these things. It wasn't a good day. It was just a sad day. And it's always sad. Every time you remember that, you just felt like, You didn't want to be there in that day. We talked about how it changed. Like, we telling Jess and Lauren

that before there was no TSA. Like, you walk to the gate and you get on the plane. You get on the plane. Yeah, there was no check and there was none of it. Right now. There's checkpoint. It's everywhere. It's got by the patrol or not. I can't believe we ever used to live like that. Yeah, we used to think about it now.

Why? Why did we trust each other? And even like some of the things that you could take on the plane, like cigarettes. lighter. They take away them. Yeah, now they do. There's no lighter allowed on the pan. You can't have a cock screw.

Nope. No, no corkscrew. Nothing that you can use for a weapon. Yeah, you used to have a little knife that you used to bring. He called them the Swiss knives. You can't bring down on the plane. You used to be able to smoke on a plane. I did see pictures of that online.

Like, you used to be able to smoke on a plane. Yeah, Australia in a plane. So you know that they used to smoke in the plane. The Australian side of you go like, And you used to smoke in the plane. But all that changed since 9-11. What does New York mean to you? New York mean everything.

Because, all right, you see, I think it's a, because the second place I came when I left Jamaica. I left Jamaica. I went to Canada. Then I came to New York. And Brooklyn kind of changed me. Like, seriously, Brooklyn kind of changed me. Because when you reach. When you're in Brooklyn, it's like you're in Jamaica.

It's not Jamaica Queens. Jamaica, Jamaica. Like, when they're in Brooklyn, most of Jamaicans. And then you see people that you know for a very long time or you haven't seen them for a very long time. You wonder if they're dead there in prison. They're in Brooklyn. Dang.

Yeah, so that is it. So, you know, I think I just love New York because of New York itself and the vibes and the vibration that it brings in with the style of the people. I love Queens too. And I love Branks. And I just love New York. What am I going to do? I can't help myself about it. So if you want to chop my head up.

I love it. Just job it in New York. Well, let's get into a joint off the aisle. What you want to hear? Marijuana and a cootee. It's Cotchy. Okay. It's marijuana in the Cotchy.

Oh, so it's not Coochie. No, it's no. Cucci. Couchy. Every time we said she was over there like, it's not what it is. Okay. I don't know that what's my song you're talking about.

That's why he was confused because he's like I don't know who named him. Yeah, he's like, I don't know what that is. Okay. What's a Coochee? I don't know. Yeah. I don't know what I was going to talk about burning.

Oh, God. Well, let's get into the joint. It's called marijuana and what? Couchy. Couchy. It's the breakfast club. Get Bell, Pure Fiber Internet with Crave, Netflix, and Disney Plus. From $94 a month, price guaranteed for two years on Internet with a two-year term and auto pay credit.

We've been catching up with some great friends, Paul Rud, Michael Boubley, Seth Myers, Nile Horan, Jake Shane. and making some new friends while getting into what's really like to have sisters, like Alex and Ashton Earl. She likes to control everyone and tell everyone what to do.

Okay, well control is a harsh word. I would say that's a harsh word. I am more outspoken. Growing up a lot of the times because she was so quiet. I would speak for like the both of us. Now I'm working on like thinking a moment, reeling it in, thinking before I speak. And Joey King.

You know if your like mom is yelling at your sibling and even if you're annoyed with your sibling, you just won't let that slide. It's like only you can yell at your sibling. I'm like, you can't do that here. That is, you do not talk about her like that. Only I talk about her like that. Plus, we've been taking your calls, listening to your voicemails and giving advice.

On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle.

I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're alone that you're. you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of

yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We are to breakfast. Weaver on the Roses here today, and let's get to pass the Ops. Go.

Go. Go. Me. I know. I mean. NYLA. Young 1990 now. What's happening?

Okay. Very fresh haircuts. Hey. Every week. We're like, what are you going for? I know. It's been three cuts in a month, but this is the last cut. I did like the last one.

I did like the last one, but it was just a lot going on as in like I go to the gym. them every day. Then I got a flat ironed it. The whole point of it was to grow my hair back and have it healthy. This is big chop, like start fresh. Yeah, but I just like the fact that it's a big chop, but it ain't no emotions attached to it. You know what I'm saying? Like you're not in those deep, dark depression or anything.

Okay, yes. Okay. That's what I appreciate. Did he ask what you? He knows that you're not. He knows. Okay. You know. You're going to dye the eyebrows too? I did. That'd be chic. They did. They're lighter. They're lighter. I felt they're in with a brown pencil, but yeah, at first my hair is like black, black, like dark, black. So I was like, yeah, do you mind turning those down a little bit?

But she did a really good job. Shout out to Elisa at the way. She actually got my hair nominated for Best Brade Technique style at like some really big conditions. You look like a little young Auntie, though. Like a look. Wow. Yeah, I would still call you though because it looked like you're trying to look older. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, young.

Auntie, though, why you got to go Auntie? It's not giving me. It's giving pretty brown, brown. It's given, I can give, yes. When you do your lip liner and stuff, it's going to give the Eve, it's going to give all the things. I get what you. Healthy, Auntie, though. Healthy, healthy, Honestee, though.

Healthy, holistic. Ante, not drunk, you know, black-libanty like some people in the room. No, I don't even want Auntie to be a negative connotation. It's not. I love my auntie. But when you say Auntie is giving negative connotation. Because it comes from, you are, he's that Auntie. You don't have to say it.

Envy, be for real. He'd be trying to be negative. No, not. If someone calls Madison, Auntie, he just said, I'm like, he just said, I'm like, he just 22 or 24 years old. Oh, so Auntie is based off age. Yes. Yes. Ageism is right now.

That's right, Dinla. Maddie on ageism, go ahead. 30 is not aunties. You know what? 30 plus gay old aunties. You know what? That's crazy because when a woman comes in the room, they got to talk about your age.

For no reason. They didn't see Gal Bean's clip. We're tired of that. I don't know where gal Bean is. Yes, you do. You know Gal Bean is. You know Gal Bean. Oh, you didn't watch Snowfall.

You know Gilbing. Gail Bean is really dope. You actually need to have her on here. They just did a spin-off on her show. You know who Gal Bean is? You know when we talked about, I used to die my head when I was in College.

Don't act like it was just a college. It was that color. Salute the Shalazar. They died, I used to dye my head that color. Oh, when Q did it, when you sat between Q La, and K. Drop one of the clues balls with big Q. I never sat between Q's legs,

cute, Dige and Haleigh. The legendary Q, don't play with you. Salute the Q. You sat between Q's legs, he died your head. I used to have it that color. Wait, it's Q the guy who the story that they told you about when you lived in Jersey.

Oh, no. That's not, that's not when. That's not, no. That was not. How many guys is it? Exactly. Even outside. Even outside.

You know what? God bless you. I'm proud of your. Party pat. That booty is for community youth. Salute to Q. Salute to Salazar. Yes.

And I was salute to the way to lunch. See? You have to. It was stupid. I don't know why I did that stupidness. Let's get to the music. All right. Let's do it.

I was. All right. So I'm going to start with a very New York vibe record. This is Jay Juan and T.J. Brown. And the record is called Home Run. I like it. I'm mad at it. Play off and knock yourself.

I like it. Not mad at it. Yeah, it's cool. The video's cute, too. Shout out to my girl Connie on that one. Next, I think you're really going to like this record. It's a little boss and Trap Dickie. They got a song coming out with Far.

Not big South Carolina. Yes. Okay. This is a big Carolina record. And it is called I'm the Man. Yeah. North Charleston, South Carolina. Hartsville, South Carolina.

Don't play with us. Okay? Drop one of clues bonds for Little Boss and Trapped Dickie. Why? You already know. You already know. Okay. Okay.

That's fire right there. I figured you were going to love that one. I like that. I just like to see them collaborating. That's dope. Yeah, I agree. Shout out to Ferrari for putting it together,

you know, from our sister station. So I didn't know he, I guess what you call it, A&Ring or, like he does a lot of that with new artists. Like bringing him around.

Yes. I didn't, I didn't know that. You know, Rari worked on the Ray Daniels. That's how you got to start an industry. What? I want everybody from South Carolina to be collaborating,

okay? Yeah. I connected Suave. and a little boss as well. I want to see him do something together. I want to see Suave and Trappdicki do something together. All of them talented brothers from that area and we'll be working together.

Yeah. You know, I got a record something like that coming out on my project. You sure do. I do. That's actually one of my favorite records on your album. You said that about the other. You said that about Need You.

I love that record. You're talking about the record with Trapp Dickie and all that? Yeah, hell yeah. Oh, you just giving out the whole track. All right, anyway. All right, so the last one is a more like R&B girl or R&B record.

It's featuring Leah and his girl and Callie Sway, who's from Toronto. But what I like about it is both of these girls give me like Missy. Like, but they sting, but the duality is just dope. The record is called I like it. That drum hit. He's so compact. No, you're hitting it.

I love it. So the singing part of it that we just listened to, so who was rapping, who was singing? I think Callie Sway does both. She wraps and she sings. But, you know, Leah is also a singer too. And I think they both kind of dabble in both. That's tough. I like it.

Yeah, so they're fired. Make sure you guys check them out. And if you guys like those joints, make sure you guys follow me on Instagram at Naila Simone. Make sure you guys stream Need You out right now featuring Rubin Vincent, Suave, and Ben Riley. And make sure you scream R2D2.

Okay, that's Naila's other record. Naila got a whole album coming out this fall and she's already put out two songs, R2D2, and Need You. Congratulations. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Nice question.

A little one. I think if you were DJ, you should be playing both those records just because DJ should be supporting other DJs because when the last time a DJ put out our album, Like, you know, we come from that. The last time years ago. We don't count Callagher no more.

Callal is a whole big artist. I get what you're saying, but I'm talking about like... The Callet did it right. That's what I'm trying to do. Caller did it right. What you mean? Caled did it right?

Like career-wise? Yeah, he was a radio. He started slow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He started slow. Yeah, he started slow. Yeah, he started into music. Like, I still see drama outside DJing.

I see what you mean. I see what you mean. I remember when Greg Street put out of albums. You know what I mean? I remember when Kay Slay, God, God bless the dad was putting out albums. Like, I love to see people from radio and then DJs putting out actual projects. And Naila got one coming.

So everybody should be supporting that. Absolutely. Yeah, appreciate it, guys. All right. That means you, Louis V. Put me in need you in rotation. Yeah, Louis V. All the DJs and program directors around the world.

That's kind of crazy if you're not supporting Naila Simone. And Nile Simone is on your radio station all the time. Well. I agree. Is Power 1 of 5 playing yet? No. Well. Stop.

Man. Come on. I thought we was rapping the segment. What are we doing? All right. I'm just, you find, you love a reason to yell. He's not lying, though. All right.

Let's get to the mix. I got you. Thank you, Envy. That's right. I always got it, though. I always play her records. I'm just saying, I just like the energy. It's that easy.

I always end up here playing the record. Yeah. No, they show me love. It's that easy. It's literally that easy. I love that. I really support DJs. Like, I go over and beyond from my DJs.

No, but I think a lot of times people feel like radio is so like, it's, it's hard. Like when you knew and you're moving and you doing what I was doing. That's why they'd be like, don't nobody listens to the radio because it's such a barrier and it shouldn't be. No, it's hard and it should be hard. Yeah, but you make good music. But if it's good, it should. You support. Absolutely. Yes, that's what I mean.

I will say, this station's DJs have supported me. Shout out to DJ. Shout out. Shout out. Shout out. Shout out. Shout out. And shout out to Steph cakes. Yeah. That's it. All right. Let's get to the mix. It's the breakfast. Love. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ.

Envy Jess hilarious. Sholomey and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, salute to Kai Cash and Beattie Man for joining us today. Man, salute to the good brother Kai Cash. Bar's Not Dead. It's out right now. Kai Cash is one of my favorite young rappers.

I was talking about this a little while ago when it comes to this young generation. There's a lot of really, really, really dope lyricists who are not getting the cosines that previous generations got. That's why I think they're not where they're supposed to be yet. Because you think about it, right? Even if you go back to the previous generation, Drake had a co-sign from Little Wayne, Nikki had a co-sign from Little Wayne, Cole had a co-sign from Jay-Z,

Kendrick had a co-sign from Dr. Dre, Big Sean had a co-sign from Kanye, Cuddy had a co-sign sign from Kanye. Like all of these different people that became the folks of that generation had cosines from people who came before them. That generation ain't paying it for. I mean, don't give me wrong.

Kendrick Co-signers are like a baby king. or Cole had Dreamville And everything And all that But they need Somebody needs to be putting the stamp on this New Wave of artists Mm-hmm

I like Kikash, she dope Now Kajash gets busy S salute to Kajas Super dope Morning everybody It's DJ Envy Just hilarious Shalameen the guy

We are the breakfast club Now Jess you and Bimall all weekend Yep all weekend man Homecoming shows I can't wait to get there tonight y'all y'all y'all You're gonna have me tired as hell Monday at work but it's all right

So Baltimore Comedy Factory all weekend. We had one show last night. We got two tonight, two to Saturday, and one Sunday. I also got a book signing for my book till death do we parent at Ellicott City at the Barnes & Noble's on Montgomery Avenue, so get your tickets for that. You can get the tickets

So if you're coming on to Manhattan or you're around New York City, give yourself a lot of extra time. There's a lot of police activity. I know under Canal Street and below is pretty much locked down because of the ceremonies today. Also, they're saying there's going to be just extra police around just in case. So like I said, give yourself a little extra time. And condolences to anybody that lost friends, family members, still dealing with the 9-11 aftermath. So just want to say we will continue. to pray and send condolences to you guys.

I was also thinking, do we call this an anniversary? Yeah, it's like, it just seemed like we celebrate.

I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
