Hey, y'all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news

and the conversations that shake the room. Now we're doing a quick little check in before we get into this artist interview. Yes, we have an interview y'all love when we do the interviews here on the podcast. Just checking in real quick coming off of Juneteenth a day off of work sort of kinda I'm feeling energized and ready for the weekend more days off of work that won't be off of work sort of kind of. I'm feeling energized and ready for the weekend, more days off of work that won't be off of work for real. Because this weekend, I'm headed to Delaware. We are doing a gala for the HBCU Week Experience. I'll be honored with Anthony Anderson.

So I'll be coming back and talking to you guys a bit about that and all the things that went down there. But I'm getting ready for that. And as we get ready, I wanna let you guys listen to this interview that me and DJ Envy did with Honey Baby. She is a rapper, or I'm getting ready for that. And as we get ready, I want to let you guys listen to this interview that me and DJ Envy did with Honey Baby. She is a rapper, or I'm sorry, she is a music artist. She's a singer from Jersey.

Music is everywhere in New York right now. But the conversation we had with her was special because it was in celebration of Juneteenth. We did a celebrating freedom sit down at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey. And this was a dope day. Like they had small businesses set up that you could shop from, Black-owned businesses. They had an expungement clinic where people from the community could come and figure out getting their backgrounds expunged and

have conversations with prosecutors about how to move forward. Once that's done, it was just a day full of us about us in American Dream uplifting black business, black community. There were realtors there helping people figure out if they could buy homes. And then we brought on the music and the entertainment. Now, Honey Baby talks a lot in this interview about her upbringing, what Juneteenth means to her.

It was just fire. Take a listen. Good afternoon. How's everybody feeling? How's everybody feeling? How's everybody feeling? Right now everybody feeling? How's everybody feeling? Right now I'd like to welcome to the stage my brother DJ Envy and my sister Lauren LaRosa. Can we get a round of applause please?

Applause How y'all feeling? Y'all alright? Hey y'all! Happy Juneteenth! Y'all feeling, y'all all right? Hey y'all, happy Juneteenth. Y'all electric slide-y yet? To me it's slide, y'all ain't hit none of the slides yet? This ain't really Juneteenth then. We're gonna start in a little bit.

So if you don't know, first and foremost, salute to American Dream who does this each and every year in Juneteenth. And it just gives us an opportunity to talk about Juneteenth, what it means to us, do some dope panels with some dope artists, talk about financial literacy and talk to different politicians and talk to different things that we need in our community. A lot of times we don't necessarily get that. So the fact that we're in the middle of the mall while people are shopping, hopefully they can stop talking, express some of their feelings. So first we'd like to discuss Juneteenth and what it means to each and every one of us.

You know, the funny thing for me about Juneteenth is it was kind of a holiday that we just started celebrating a couple of years ago, right? When I was a kid there was no Juneteenth and it just popped up. Well Envy, we know you Dominican, so. I am not Dominican, I'm black. But, you know, it came up something that

we started celebrating really heavy the last couple of years. And it meant a lot because for us it was like, oh, a day off of school, a day off of work. But now we have to get to the meaning of what it means and why it should be celebrated. So before we get into that, what does Juneteenth mean to you? Juneteenth to me means seasoning and when I say seasoning I think about like like we joke around and say like okay you eat in a black household you feel full you feel the seasonings all of that but when you think about it

seasoning is culture, it's death, there's substance, there's a feeling of community of family. I think anytime you get a group of black people together and we're talking about like things that Juneteenth makes people remember, like where we came from, what we've overcome, where we're looking forward to in the future, it feels like home. Juneteenth is that, it's a day to just be like, you know what, I'm chilling today, I'm gonna be with my people,

I'm gonna eat good, but I'm gonna feel at home, and I'm gonna feel community and love and a big hug. Yeah, so if you don't know, of course, Juneteenth was the day that slaves in Texas finally found out that they were free, don't know, of course, Juneteenth was the day that slaves in Texas finally found out that they were free, right? They were free before that, but that was the day that they finally found out. So for me, I like to do these events

because I love collaboration, right? Collaboration, in my opinion, is way better than competition. If we could collaborate with each other, there's so much that we can do, we can go a lot further, and that's what we need to start doing as people.

We look at all these different communities, and for them, they collaborate a lot easier, right? They spread the knowledge a lot better, and I think we have to do a lot of that ourselves. If we know something that can benefit your brother or your sister, we need to start talking about it a lot more. That's why I call Laura my sister,

is if there's anything that she's going through or I can help, I try to be there to help because I don't want her to make the same mistakes that I made. I don't want her to see the same pitfalls and the same everything, and that comes from relationship to business structure to radio. And hopefully she's doing the same with her family.

And that's what we need to do more. So what's one thing that you want to see more on Juneteenth? I think I want to see more of, I thought that it was interesting when they were telling me what they're doing here in the mall, because I didn't even know that this happened until you invited me to come.

They're highlighting small businesses, there's an expungement clinic, things like that, like things that drip down to the people, like everyday people. I think a lot of times when you talk about diversity and inclusion, all these things that affect us as black people, sometimes it's so high level

that the everyday person who's just trying to figure it out in a real way, you don't feel it, nor do you have the time to stop and care, so I would love to see more things like this, where you're bringing in these small businesses, these different resources like an expungement clinic that actually help people that are on their day-to-day just walking through the mall that really need it, and it's right there at arm's reach.

Yeah, I agree, and I was actually talking to the prosecutor earlier, and we were just talking about different things. And a lot of times, we're bred to hate certain things, right? We're bred to hate prosecutors and attorneys. We're bred to hate police officers. But I tell everybody all the time, my dad is a retired cop, so I look at it from two different sides. When I was talking to the prosecutor, I was telling her, she was talking about expungements and doing different things,

and I was like, that is great, and that's wonderful, but what we really need to do is do more things in the community. And she said, well, what do you mean? I said, it's hard to tell a 16-year-old that if I go take that car and don't get caught, I can get $10,000 for doing it and tell him not to do it. But now, if we put different things in his hand, different opportunities in his hand, and says, hey, I can still make money, but I ain't gotta worry about going to jail, those are the things that these kids need to see.

And it's not gonna come from our parents, it's gonna come from us, right? Because they wanna see it from us. It's like when your dad or your mom tells you something, like you really be like, all right mom, whatever. All right pops, whatever. But now you get that same information from somebody that looks like you,

the same age as you, that's making this 10 times the money you owe, you're more likely to see it. Yeah, I agree with that. I also think too, when you set up things like what they have happening in the mall, I think kids see that it's important because other people care about it too.

Because a lot of times, especially nowadays, with kids like my niece is, she's 10 years old, a lot of what she cares about and what she thinks is important depends on who also thinks it's important and who also cares. So I think even being able to do something like this and just putting things on platforms like this,

it shows kids like, oh shoot, okay Lauren and Envy were there and all these people gathered, let me at least see what this is. And then they learn about the small businesses and they learn about, and even what you're talking about, right, like creating these opportunities in the community. Sometimes you got organizations that'll come in and create these opportunities,

but the kids gotta, they gotta wanna go. So you gotta, I think we have to, they got to want to go. So you got to, I think we have to do a better job. I know like for myself, one of the things I try to do with even being from Delaware, just talk about being from Delaware because- Nobody's from Delaware. Look ahead. But Joe Biden.

Look ahead. And y'all don't claim him. Look ahead. Anyway, I talk about it because now you have a lot of kids who are like, okay, when I go somewhere, I can say, oh, I'm from Delaware and I can feel good about it. But that wasn't always a thing because we a small state, you know what I mean?

We not in New York. But just something like that, like people seeing you care about something makes them care about it. And I think when you talk about these programs, we have to actually care about them. We gotta talk about them. We gotta show up and do things like this,

whether it's at a YMCA, it's at the American Dream Mall. So the kids are like, okay, this is lit. This is where I should be. Yeah, and I also feel like we have to feed these kids. And not feed, like, as far as food, but whatever they wanna do, we have to make sure we pour into them, right? I agree.

And I say that all the time, because when I told my dad, who was a police officer at the time that I wanted to be a DJ, he was gonna smack the black off me. Envy, why you keep giving me the jokes? What? Smack the black off you?

It's not much right? You know you would. But you know what I mean. But I wanted to do it anyway, and he poured into me regardless even though he didn't believe. And that's what we have to do. When my son came to me, I would say about eight years ago, and said he wanted to be a streamer. I laughed. I was like, a streamer?

He could have been Casanat. Right. He could have been Mr. Beast. Not Mr. DJ Envy Mix Tape DJ. Right. Laughing at someone to be early on something. But I didn't get it because I wasn't involved in it. It didn't make sense to me.

It didn't make sense that you could make money playing video games all day. I was like, this is a joke. You're just doing this because you don't want to do your homework. But he could have been the next this, and that's what we have to start pouring. Just because we don't get it doesn't mean it's not right, doesn't mean it's not a career, and doesn't mean that it can't be something that they can do for long periods of time, you know?

Yeah, you're good at that. Even though you the old head, you're good at- The old head. Go ahead. You're good at, no, you're good at like understanding, like when things are, well, now. I don't know what happened a couple years ago with your son, but I feel like for me, like I'll have an idea or like something

and you'll be like, well, let's just try it. Let's just do it. And then it'll work out. Sometimes it might not always work out, but it'll work out. But you're really good at being like, no, just go ahead. Go try it. Go do it. You gotta try it, you gotta do it. Well, a lot of times I've invested my friends and family then invest in something that I don't know. Cause if my friends and family connect,

no matter what happens in this world, they always come back and get you. You know? Oh yeah, yeah, 100%. Man, this is so beautiful, look at us. It's Juneteenth. That's right. Did y'all listen to Sounds of Blackness this morning?

Yes Honey Baby is oh we're gonna

put on share okay. Honey Baby um I met her a few years ago, actually talking about community and black things and all things black. So I went to HBCU, Delaware State University, and one of Honey Baby's managers or management team members actually went to school with me. So she came to me and was like, yo, I'm quitting my job, I'm about to manage this artist.

And I was like, okay, what does that look like? What does that mean? And she was like, we're gonna start a company We're gonna manage this artist and I'm gonna just figure it out years later. Like probably like what it's been like maybe two years later Her artist is honey, baby. This is the artist she was talking about and they're everywhere and they're moving She's like she I feel like when I listen to honey, baby, she is New York It's very she she throws a lot back to the 90s and the vibes of the 90s and we're gonna get into the things but if y'all can't tell I'm a huge fan of Honey Baby. She's from Jersey. She's from Jersey? No one makes up Jersey New York. I didn't know she

was from Jersey. She give me. Say how they try to do y'all Jersey. I did not know she was from Jersey. Oh Jersey is here. Say how they try to do your Jersey. Okay. Yeah. Can you play Honey Baby record right fast? That's it? Turn it up a little bit. There we go. Hey, girl. Give it up for Honey Baby one time. You always look so good. Look at her, y'all. Isn't she so cute? I love the blonde.

Over here. Yeah, they gave you a cheer. Can y'all got a mic for honey, baby? Hey girl, what's up? So for people that don't know where are you from this honey, baby? I did not know that I thought you were from New York. Everybody thinks I'm from New York. Yeah. Y'all be trying to claim me. I'm not from New York. She's from Delaware.

Delaware. They try to claim everybody. They try to claim everybody. So how did you get into singing? What got you into singing? What was your inspiration in everything? I was just around music a lot when I was younger. And I don't know.

I just grew an attachment to it. I was always singing every chance I got. And how did you get your deal? What got you signed and you got your deal? Um... Ha ha ha! Me? Hello? No, but, um... I don't know, my team and then, you know, me as an artist,

they, like, I make good music and I got good energy, so I'm a superstar. There you go. I was telling them before you came out here that we were talking about like just community and all things black and it being Juneteenth and I'm like I met you through Jamila who works on your management team and me and her went to HBCU together and that's the beauty of having community because she came to me a while back and was like, yo I'm about to quit my job and I'm about to manage this artist.

We about to start managing artists and I was like, yo, I'm about to quit my job and I'm about to manage this artist. We're about to start managing artists. And I was like, okay, babe, just let me know. I don't know what that looks like, but just let me know. And then I started hearing your music everywhere when I moved to New York. And I remember I saw her post one day and I was like, this is the artist? And she was like, yeah. I was like, yo, she is so fire. She's such a vibe.

But to see her journey on the management side and to see your journey on the artist side is really beautiful to watch because you guys are figuring it out together. Talk about that. I mean, it's a lot of trial and error for me and my management. It's just, I don't know, it's a lot. It's kind of just hard to explain

because so much goes on behind the scenes. There's so many strings that are being pulled and You know outside of like just making music. It's so much that people don't see um We're just going with the flow Do you love it? Do you love the music industry so I love it? Okay, like I wouldn't want to do anything else like no Thank you. I'll stay here What are you when you talk about it being a lot behind the scenes, I know creatively you're really involved

in like your video setups and all that. We did a video together. Yeah. So talk about. She was a video vixen in your video? Yeah, she was in Left Eye. Did not do good. She was in, yeah, she did really good.

Yes, it was, so the video for Left Eye, which we're gonna talk about, the video is about her getting upset. She finds out her man is, you know, doing the things. So she calls her homegirls like, yo, we need to handle this. We got a the house need to be set on fire. We got some things we need to do. I was crashing out. I'm a good crash out friend. I pulled up. But being on that set with you and seeing how you know you and your team are so hands on, what's the planning process for you? What's

your what kicks off your creative process? Um, I don't know. I got a big imagination. My brain just be running rapid all day. So I just come up with ideas. I sometimes write them down or I just tell somebody like if like whoever the video director is, I'll tell them my idea. We share ideas and I'll make a template for them and then I'll just have them clean it up. Like, I don't know, it just, it could be whatever the song is about, make the video about it or if I want to do something different, like I just try to make it make sense, make it look good. So we are here for Juneteenth.

So what does Juneteenth mean to you and the fact that your community supports you so much? Being black is beautiful. Period. Period. Now the fact that you got so much support so fast and that people are supporting you and your record is playing, what does that mean? Because it takes artists years and they don't connect but you have been connecting and people really been messing with you. So what does that mean for you? That means that I must be doing something right. And I'm glad that people are enjoying my music and I'm glad that it's connecting because

you know everybody goes through a phase where it's like what am I doing? How am I going to do this? How am I going to get people to like rock with me? And now it's like starting to happen now. But it feels really good. It feels really, really, really good. And what artist would you love to work with that you haven't got a chance to work with yet? Drake.

Okay. Alright. Drake. Drake. Drake and more Drake. Drake. Besides Drake. Anybody else?

Kehlani. Okay. And Miley Cyrus. Miley Cyrus. Alright. I love that. That shocked me. That shocked me.

I mean you went Drake. This one and then Miley Cyrus. Alright. Next Taylor Swift, next? No? Yeah. Okay, all right. All right. BET Awards, you just did one of the pre-show stages with Lil' Kim.

Yeah. What was that like? Because a lot of your music gives olds to the 90s and the Quiet Storm vibes and all those things. It was crazy. It didn't really hit me until I got to the stage and I was like, oh wow, what did I just sign myself up for? With all the cameras and stuff like that.

But it was really dope, especially being on stage with Kim and how iconic she is. And not a lot of people can say that they did that. That was really crazy. The prep for it was a lot too. I was exhausted. I was running off adrenaline all day. I was just like, ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta tata-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta But I didn't like have my own set they like had it like set up a certain way But now I have my own set this year, so I'm so excited I actually was never allowed to go to summer jam when I was younger my brother because my brother wasn't having it Got you like you're not going to say what you would what you doing at summer jam. I'm not mad at you I'm not mad at her yeah, so my first time ever at summer jam was me performing at summer damn Wow yeah So what was that like so I think doing the the last year, that being your first time,

now you're artists. What was the woe moment for you? But last year, a lot of people knew me and knew my music. So that was like kind of shocking to me because I like I always underestimate myself. Like I go out to like places or like performances and it's like so many big people there. And I'm like, oh, OK, like I'm nervous. Like, what if there's like what if it's just crickets in there? But I go out and like everybody's like singing and like recording me and like I go on Instagram like there's people like making these walkie-ass videos so yeah

I'm like yeah now she's out here we're gonna open up the phone line well I was gonna say the phone line. Open up the phone line. I'm not at work at work. Phone lines is crazy. I'm always at work. We're going to open up a little bit and ask if you guys have any questions. You just raise your hand and we'll get some questions for you guys as well. So when is your new project dropping? It dropped already. May 30th, right? You ain't come by the breakfast club, so we ain't know.

Y'all ain't have me on the breakfast club. You be scared. We tell you anytime you want to come. Me? Me? Anytime you want to come. I could come on Monday. I don't know about Monday, but. Exactly. You scared of me. No, I'm serious.

You scared of me. Monday could come on Monday. I don't know about Monday, but. Exactly. You scared of me. No, I'm serious. You scared of me. Monday might work. Monday, I'll talk to you. I've been waiting to get on a breakfast club.

All right. Monday might work. We might bring you Monday. I'm just looking, because I'm like, Envy, you told her that she will show up on Monday and be expecting her interview. Oh, she could come on up. But talk about the new EP, Raw Honey, right?

Yeah. May 30th it drops? Yes. Yes. So talk about, because Raw Honey, to me, it sounds like, OK, you're exposing yourself a bit more, giving a bit more of yourself. But you already are so open in your music.

So what is Raw Honey like? It's me kind of just taking a little bit more control and being a little bit more vulnerable and having a little bit more fun with it and not making it so sad like so many people don't know me yet and the people that do I don't think they've got to see like certain sides of me it's always like very like slow like go to bed music and that's just not me at all that's not even like that's not me at all. Like Raw Honey is the real raw uncut version of me, like bad or good, like take it or leave it type vibe.

Got you. Now in Raw Honey, cause one of the things that you did with some of your last projects where you were able to bridge the gap between like the quiet storm era and where we are today. So like that 90s vibe of where we are today on East Coast music, That's a big like shoe to step in. Raw Honey, are we seeing any generational bridges on this project?

I mean yeah, cause Left Eye is on there, like Tricks for You is on there, so there's definitely some music like that, but I definitely started to go out of that box too, cause I didn't want to be stuck in that box. So I took the opportunity to take this project to just show people that I'm capable of more than just that. Are you a type of artist too that like, because stepping out of that box, so you sing, but are you a type of artist too that will try different ways of expressing musically like rap or no, you don't try? Are there people that try to push you to, because you know your energy gives rap artists,

do people tell you that? Yeah. Yes know, your energy gives rap artists. Do people tell you that? Yeah. Yes, like your energy gives rap girl 100%. So I don't know if you've ever like tried it. That's what made me ask you that. I did it before, but like, I don't, that's not like a route I wanna go. Like I'm a singer.

Like that's just who I am at heart. God didn't give me this voice for no reason. I'ma use this mug. Well, let's talk a little bit about too, about any community advocacy. So Honey Baby this year going into 2026, being from Jersey, I just learned that, what is community for you and what are you looking to do in the community advocacy wise? I feel like community means a lot

especially like when it comes to kids because it takes a village and you know you want to be you want your kids to be in certain environments that will uplift them and where I come from it's a really small town and it's just a lot going on so I'm ready to give back now that I'm able to especially when it comes to school because I remember when I was in school like there were kids that didn't have anything and we didn't really have like those givebacks those giveaways like we never had that in my neighborhood at all. So I feel like now that I'm able to do that, I wanna start pushing more towards that

and just helping the people who are less fortunate, especially from where I'm from, because again, we just don't have that out there. We don't have any of that. And it's kind of just like, fend for yourself type vibe. And I don't think that's cool. Well, let's take some questions if you had them on. Does anybody out there got any questions?

I'll go, I saw one girl. Is she gonna walk out there? Any questions out there at all? Don't be shy. I see a girl in the green. Next time y'all see Honey Baby, there's gonna be 10,000 people here and you ain't gonna be able to ask one question, so.

Oh, we lost her. It was a little baby girl in the green. She said she had a question. Don't know where her sister's at. No, not at all. I think Armand has a question okay oh yeah go ahead ask your question okay so you got to stand and let them know who you are hey honey baby okay so my question is what was the process like working with Little Kim? Um, it was it was pretty smooth. Um, when it came to like Left Eye, she

hit us up. Like she loved the record so much and she wanted to meet me and we've grown like a really great relationship. Like she's like my sister now. Like I could just call her whenever I want to which is so f***ing weird. But it's so cool. But the process of working with her definitely was like, it was very smooth. It was just very, like, girly vibes. Okay, can you give us, like, an inside joke? You guys share something funny that we might not know

or might not get? Um... Oh, yeah, you got one. Hi. Um... I might, I might, I might, I might. I'm going to give, I'm going to give back to you on that one. You trying to get me? Oh, there's another question back here. You trying to get me?
