      <title>K-Shine: Growing Up in Harlem, Early Battles, Relationship With DNA, URL Situation and more.</title>
      <description><![CDATA["Today we have Harlem's own, the one and only, K-Shine, come sit down on the couch for the Thanx4askin Podcast. We try to cover everything that needs to be addressed and more. Of course, we cover the obvious topics such as his strained relationship with DNA and URL, also known as The Ultimate Rap League. However, before getting into that, we had to talk about his early upbringing, influences, and what led him to become a battle rapper. We talk about what it was like being that his father was in and out of prison very early in his life and how that affected him. We go on to talk about his High school days as a battle rapper. We later go into all the wins and losses he faced in battle rapping; not many losses though. We discussed what drug dealing was like for him. This actually caused him to have several prison bids. Being tethered to the system was no doubt a struggle for him when it came to battle rapping. We cover this and so much more in this interview.

This interview is a portrait of a man who has been tested time and time again and somehow always finds a way to not only survive but thrive in his situations." Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

      <title>Racquel Ellis Is A New York School Teacher Who Defied The Odds Of Being A Teen Mom At The Age Of 14</title>
      <description><![CDATA["Racquel Ellis comes into the barbershop to talk about some of the perils she went through to overcome the odds. Racquel talks about overcoming some serious setbacks starting as early as high school. At the start of her high school experience, she became pregnant, unexpectedly. Now, faced with the stigma and hardships of being a teen mom. This episode breaks down how this wouldn't stop her in the slightest. Eventually, she received her high school diploma from August Martin High School.

Moreover, she would not stop there, so Racquel immediately went right to college. Again, this transition into college life would not be easy as well. One reason for this is due in part to the fact that her high school literature was misaligned with her college institution. This made her experience even more challenging. Like before, Racquel overcame this, received her bachelor's degree, and then went on to receive her Master's of Education. eventually, she became a New York City School teacher.

As most people may know, being a teacher can be a very difficult and overwhelming profession. The burnout rate is relatively high yet Racquel managed to figure out how to thrive in this environment as well." Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

      <title>Fredro Starr: Onyx, Brandy, Moesha, Jam Master Jay, DMX, and the music business</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>
Today, we sat down with the South Side Jamaica Queens legend, Fredro Starr! Our conversation delved deep into the heart of his journey, covering everything from the inception of Onyx to his prolific music and acting career.
<p>We embarked on a journey back to the roots of Onyx, exploring the humble beginnings and the grind that preceded their rise to fame. Fredro shared insightful anecdotes about their early days in Southside Jamaica Queens, navigating the challenges of inner-city life while pursuing their dreams. We also paid tribute to the memory of their friend and early producer, reflecting on the profound impact of his loss.</p>
<p>The pivotal moment of meeting Jam Master Jay marked a turning point in their lives, leading to a transformative partnership and the launch of their career under his mentorship and the esteemed Def Jam label.</p>
<p>Of course, we couldn't resist diving into the wild adventures of the &quot;Survival of the Illest&quot; tour, where Fredro and his comrades embarked on a rollercoaster ride of music, mayhem, and unforgettable moments.</p>
<p>Beyond his musical endeavors, Fredro has left an indelible mark on the silver screen with a diverse range of acting roles. From gritty dramas like &quot;Strapped&quot; to iconic classics like &quot;Sunset Park&quot; and memorable appearances in television series like &quot;Moesha,&quot; his talent knows no bounds. We explore the intersection of music and acting, uncovering the intricacies of his craft and the art of storytelling through multiple mediums.</p>
<p>In our conversation, we were joined by the incomparable Bambu Starr, Fredro's brother and a fellow luminary in his own right. Together, they offered a dynamic duo of insight, humor, and brotherly camaraderie, adding another layer of depth to our discussion.</p>
<p>We invite you to join us on this immersive journey through the life and career of Fredro Starr and Bambu Starr, as we celebrate their legacy and the impact they've had on music, film, and culture.</p>

<p>Hailing from New Jersey, Malik faced no easy roads to success. A lack of opportunities quickly led him down the wrong path, and he soon paid the price for his misguided decisions.

He had to decide whether to return to his old life or pursue his newfound passion for acting. With determination and a drive for change, Malik chose to chase his dream. Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks, he persevered, honing his craft and eventually landing his first roles in movies like &quot;8 Mile&quot; alongside Eminem and Mekhi Phifer. Through hard work and dedication, Malik's talent caught the attention of industry professionals, leading to bigger opportunities in television and mainstream cinema.

As a young teenager, Malik started using drugs and found moderate success as a dope dealer. However, it wasn&apos;t long before he got caught up with the law and faced his first drug case. Despite this, Malik continued on his path into drug dealing. 

Eventually, everything caught up to him, and he ended up serving five years in prison. It was during his time behind bars that he discovered his true passion for acting.Upon his release from prison, Malik found himself at a crossroads. He had to decide whether to return to his old life or pursue his newfound passion for acting. With determination and a drive for change, Malik chose to chase his dream. Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks, he persevered, honing his craft and eventually landing his first roles in movies like &quot;8 Mile&quot; alongside Eminem and Mekhi Phifer. Through hard work and dedication, Malik&apos;s talent caught the attention of industry professionals, leading to bigger opportunities in television and mainstream cinema.

      <title>Antwon Tanner: Growing up in Chicago, DMX, 2Pac, pay disparities between black and white actors, &amp; more</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today, we go to California and interview the actor Antwon Tanner. We talk about his upbringing in Chicago, acting, how he landed some of his most iconic roles, working with DMX, Samuel L. Jackson, and much more.</p>
<p>Antwon grew up in the inner city of Chicago where he was subjected to the many pitfalls that a poor neighborhood can subject you to. Of course, being a teenager in the '90s, it was almost impossible not to be a gang member in Chicago. however, his grandmother, who was known for being a gangster herself, guided him in a direction that made him a "conservative" Vice Lord. This is a gang member who doesn't have all of the tattoos and things like that to avoid any unnecessary police interaction. Even with the help of his grandmother, Antwon was still getting into trouble. Because of this, Antwon moved to California with his father to live a better life.</p>
<p>Arriving in California, Antwon had a chance encounter with a basketball coach that led him down an unlikely path to a profession he never considered...acting. From there he landed several acting roles in major movies like Sunset Park, The Wood, Coach Carter, Never Die Alone and many more. Antwon also landed a role in the cult classic One Tree Hill. </p>
<p>We also, get into the pay disparities between black actors and white and what's it like working on black shows compared to white shows.</p>
<p>We got into the relationship with DMX and what it was like working with him.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See <a href="https://pcm.adswizz.com">pcm.adswizz.com</a> for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.</p>]]></description>

      <title>Corey Pegues: Supreme Team, NYPD, and all the politics in between</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, we had the privilege of interviewing Corey Pegues, who is one of the most accomplished black officers in the history of the NYPD. His memoir "Once A Cop," published in 2017, provides a riveting and insightful account of his life story. Pegues grew up in Southside Jamaica, Queens, where he faced many challenges due to growing up in poverty as one of many children. Despite his challenging circumstances, he found solace in playing basketball and eventually turned to selling drugs to make ends meet.
<p>In our interview, Pegues opened up about his past and shared his experiences with us. He talked about his family dynamics, the challenges he faced growing up, and what motivated him to pursue a career in law enforcement. He also recounted his days as a basketball player and how he transitioned to selling drugs for the notorious Supreme Team. Pegues shared how he navigated out of that situation and ultimately found his way into the NYPD.</p>
<p>As a police officer, Pegues worked tirelessly to serve and protect the people of his community. He rose through the ranks and became one of the highest-ranking officers in the department's history before retiring due to health issues. Throughout his career, he worked to build bridges between law enforcement and the communities they serve, and he continues to be a respected figure in the field of criminal justice.</p>

      <title>Esso: The Life &amp; Times Of A Music Executive EP. 35</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ladies and gentlemen, we are back for the second season of Thanx4askin. This season we have a lot of new and exciting guests that will entertain, thrill, and spark plenty of emotions.
<p>Today we sat down with the one and only Esso! We talked about everything that he went through to get him to the position that he's in now.</p>
<p>We clarify whether he's from the Bronx or Queens. We also discussed what it was like growing up in Rochdale as a kid playing basketball. From that, we talk about his relationship with Curtis 50 Cent Jackson as a kid.</p>

      <title>Mister Morado Talks about his journey as an artist, sculptor, Australia, and racism. Ep.6</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>
In this episode, we talk about Mister Morado's illustrious career as an artist and sculptor. Morado talks about his biggest inspiration being his older sister and trying to best her in every way possible. His first foray into the arts would be by way of painting shoes and other clothing as a teenager. We discussed his entry into the art world through the women he was dating. he talked about having his family's support was another vital key to his success. He later progressed into sculpting when he took a huge gamble in moving to Australia with only $100. His experiences were vast and varied. at times, he would express how being there they treated him like a black god. however, on the other hand, he faced moments of racism when working a menial job and an Asia person asked if he could call him a racial slur. When he decided to come back to America, he started making sculptures for very wealthy individuals in California and beyond. Being in California inspired him to develop an art display in the middle of Hollywood. Achieving this led the way to Holly having its own farmers market. Also, doing this gave him the opportunity to work with Disney. This was not all that it was cracked up to be. here he experienced an immense feeling of not belonging and fitting in because of his youth and culture. This gave him the desire to do to come back home and start a farmer's market. in his hometown of Bricktown, Queens, NY.
