innocently trying to look for something.

founded in DC by three extraordinary black women, Angel Hobbes,
Rachel Ransom, and Aliah Newman. Crave brings the premium cocktail
experience to you with ready to drink beverages that combine quality, convenience,
and affordability. These three saw a gap in the market,
turned an idea into a business, and are raising the bar. Literally.

alcoholic beverages. That's my spotlight.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
All right, Well that was shining a light eight hundred
two nine fifty fifty Again, if you couldn't get through,
you could always leave a message and shine a light
like that. And when we come back, let's talk about
Diddy's twin daughters, Jesse, Jesse and Delilah.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
They actually have done an interview. This is the first time.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
I don't know if they've done any in the past,
but I've never seen any interviews from them, so I
love to see them, you know, just speaking up, and
they've always seen really sweet and grounded.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
All right, it's way up.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
They says, soup in the rooms from the industry, shade
to all of gods out, sending that Angela's feeling that yet.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
All right, it's way up with Angela. Yea, it's me
and Doug Phenom.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Let's get into this yet. So Jesse and Delilah Combs,
they are the twins. They are Diddy's twin daughters, kim
Porter's daughters as well.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yes, and they're nineteen now modeling.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
They have their own fashion brand twenty one.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Is that how you say it? Twelve twelve twenty one.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
In there because they're twins.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Twelve to oh twenty one. Okay, I get it. Give
me a little slow. But anyway, they sat down with
Michelle Turner, a journalist who I love the fact that
they went to her, because you got to go to
some place that you know is gonna not try to
have I gotcha moment. And here's what they had to
say about their clothing line and whether or not you know,
it has to be difficult, like absolutely with all of

(06:04):
the stories surrounding you, but you got to keep pushing.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Here's what they said. Is there any fear with putting
yourselves out there?

Speaker 11 (06:10):
No, not at all, because people fail to realize that,
like just because he's our dad doesn't mean like his
press is his own press.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Our press is our own press. Our clothing line is
our clothing line. It's not his clothing line.

Speaker 11 (06:23):
Except like people fail to understand that we are also individuals.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
It's true, yeah, and I think we all can make
jokes and do, but we have to think. They do
have some daughters that have been through a lot, family
members that have been through a lot.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
They lost their mom.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yes, they've been through a whole lot. But I'm here
for it. I mean, at some point you have to
get over the big controversial news of Diddy and try
to sell some products. I mean, I'm on their site.
They have a lot of different options, T shirts, sweatsuits,
you know, and it looks pretty good. It's luxury unisex
where like you're You've got a lot of options here.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
All right, Yeah, everybody go on there twelve see when
and shout out to these young ladies. Now, they did
talk about advice they got from their father. Here's what
they said, how is your relationship with your dad today?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
That's great, Yes, it's great.

Speaker 11 (07:12):
We definitely are very close and he gives the best advice.
He's very very like knowledgeable in that aspect. We ask
him all the time like can we need help on this?

Speaker 9 (07:19):
We need help on that.

Speaker 11 (07:20):
Also, something that he has always consistently said to us,
success won't be like Kennedy You my advice has really
really shaped us today because we put in so much work.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
He's really really really been helpful.

Speaker 1 (07:32):

I do hate that that happened to him, though I do.
It's awful.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
When we come back, we have your ye eat and
let's talk about Lebron. According to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver,
they cannot make the schedule with until Lebron decides where
he wants to go.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Status.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
You gotta love it. It's way up.

Speaker 4 (11:32):

Speaker 4 (11:38):

me and Doug Phenhi, sir, Happy birthday to obio Eli.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Up here.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
We have some cake courtesy of obio Eli. All right,
now let's get into this yeat. Imagine the whole entire
NBA is waiting on your decision. Well, NBA Commissioner Adam
Silver is waiting to find out where is Lebron gonna go? Yeah,
during his free agency. And he said this during the
Fanatics Fest in New York. It was he's there for

(12:11):
the CNBC Sport and Boardroom Game Plan Summit, and he
said he wants Lebron to hurry up and make his
decision because it's going to impact the entire league.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
He said, we have to finish up the schedule.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Where Lebron plays will affect the schedule, So I would
like him to make his announcement already so we can
finish the schedule. Because, as you might imagine, the teams
are calling us, that networks are calling us, and everybody
wants to lock in.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
See, this is what you do when you pop in.
This is what you do when your goat. Anywhere that
le Bron goes, they're going to automatically have a chance
to playoff run. But there's only a couple teams that
he can choose that will have a legitimate run at
a championship, like where Miami Heat or Philadelphia. That's true.
Golden State's not gonna do it. Not that any again, No,

(12:54):
anyone stay from Golden State's not gonna work.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Oh well, I'm gonna tell you a couple more things.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
What goes into Lebron making the decision, No pun intended.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Here's what he had to say at that same event.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
At Fanatics Fest in New York, he discussed why his
thinking is different now than it would have been previously.

Speaker 10 (13:14):
It's my almost twelve year old daughter who was pulling
away a lot going to my daughter. I was home
for the fourth of July and I put her to
the side because she's as of age now, so like
anytime I leave.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
So I was like, Dad, where you're going?

Speaker 10 (13:25):
Like I'm going with you. So I was like, Babe,
I won't be playing for the Lakers next year. I
will be playing somewhere else, so I won't be home
all the time. And you may not have an answer
right now, just wondering how you feeling about it.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Where does she want to go? That's the question somebody
needs to ask her.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Where do you want to live?

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I mean he's forty one years old. He has two
kids that play basketball, one that's in college, one that's
in the NBA right now. I mean he has a
family to think.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Of one little girl, one.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Little girl it doesn't play basketball.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Did anybody see that meme where they were like Lebron
had to leave because he was sleeping with his teammates mother.
That wasn't It took me a second. I was like
wait what, and then I was like, Okay, that's funny.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
I mean anything Braun is gonna pop.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
His you know, his son and him playing.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, But anyway, I want people to in case y'all
were listening in. But like White's, That's was a funny
little joke that it took me a second to get
when I saw it. Now, Rich Paul, some people do
think he is going to go to the Golden State Warriors.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
You don't.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
I don't, But Rich Paul had this to say, if
he did decide to go there.

Speaker 12 (14:31):
The NBA will have to give them sixty nationally televised game.
You think they get sixty No, I'm being sarcastic, but
at least half forty nationally televised games, if not more.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
It's definitely within the range of forty to sixty. Braun
moves the needle. Wherever he goes, marketability goes out.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Love him, I hate him?

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, I mean you literally have to feature him on TV.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
All right, Well that is your yee tea. And when
we come back, we have under the radar. These are
the stories that are not necess in the headlines. They're
flying under the radar, but you definitely need to know
about them. Did you ever think would be at a
time right now where people are buying CDs again?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
You know it's crazy. I did, because the vinylsals.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Have gone up who has it?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Do you have a CD player?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
No, I don't. I got a vinyl, I h a
vital player.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
You have a turntable, a record player?

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Record player? Okay, not my generation cassette. But yeah, so
we'll tell you about it. It's way up.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
Position in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yes, it's way up at the Angela Yee.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
I'm here with Doug Phenom, and it's time to go
under the radar. I know a lot of people have
seen this wildfire smoke and the air quality that's outside.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Literally, I had a sore throat yesterday.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
My eyes felt a little burnie, I believe it for
being out so I had to go back to wearing
a mask. But more than one hundred million people in
eighteen states and DC are under air quality alerts. They
said the air pollution is so high that even if
you're a healthy you'll be affected.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
I just came back from DC. The fog out there
is insane.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, they said.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
The smoke is being carried south from Canada in the
wind and it's just going further and further. So the
weather patterns will determine where things are gonna end.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Up being the worst each day.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Crazy, all right, But we are going to have rain tomorrow,
so that's going to help wash some of the smoke
out of the air and provide some relief. CD sales
are rising, fans are enjoying having physical music as collectibles.
They say the increase was driven by collection building, price, accessibility,
massive albums like BTS's album, a strong K pop release schedule.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
So CDs are.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Now in a different position than they were during their
mainstream peak.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
So have CDs become the new vinyls? Is that how
they're treating them now?

Speaker 4 (16:47):
I don't think it could ever be, because I also
feel like Vinyl's always special, Like I don't think Vinyl's
ever gone away the way that CDs have.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
No, they haven't. So but how are they playing them?
I don't have a CD player, I don't I don't
remember the last time I ended the CD player.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
Approximately half of the people buying CDs do not own
a CD.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Player, so they just have them on the wall.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
They want the diss the packaging, the artwork, all of that.
So I'm gonna tell you this. When I moved, I
hate to say this, but I got rid of all
my CDs.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, this says gen Z and millennials, and I'm a
millennial and I don't have a CD.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
Yeah, I got rid of all of them because I
was like, what am I gonna do with these? Like
where I'm not gonna play them? Everything is streaming, so
I don't need to have a physical copy of anything,
and it felt like it was just taking up space.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Should I not have done that?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
I don't know, it might be vintage now though it
might be worth something.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
So I mean I had literally like probably thousands of CDs.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
What do you do?

Speaker 1 (17:42):
What happens to them? The gun?

Speaker 4 (17:46):
All right, well that is your under the radar and
don't forget we do have the way it mixed for you.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
At the top of the hour, plus, we have a special.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Guest joining us, the Grammy Award winning artists Cause Namby
we win the Best Red Album at the Grammys this year,
and we're going to talk about all of that, what
he has going on.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
He's got a tour popping off.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
But you know, it was quite a journey for him
to get to where he is today, and he's always
stayed true to who he is, very authentic, not trying
to follow any trends.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
We'll talk about it. It's way up.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Because she came here of seats, It's time to spill
that et.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
All right, it's way up at Angela. Yee. Oh sorry,
my headphones just fell out of the.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Oh and Doug Phoenom, I am the children.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
I'm back, thank you, Doug Phoenix got you.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
All right, let's get into this et. So we were
talking about this yesterday on the Today Show. An intruder
got in and called Craig Melvin the N word and
how do they even get into that building? Well, apparently
they followed somebody into thirty Rock, you know, the famous
thirty Rock. And here is what Craig Melvin had to

(18:52):
say after the incident.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
You may have heard that.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Unfortunately, and intruder made his way into an unauthorized area
here and you know whe a.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Thankfully he was apparended quickly. He was placed under arrest.

Speaker 12 (19:04):
We were cooperating fully with the NYPD as they investigate
the matter, and we are just very happy that everyone
is safe.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Absolutely, yes, courts, I want to make sure that you're safe,
safe and sound.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
Now.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
The person who was arrested is named Andrew Truelove. He
has a long rap sheet. He was booked on charges
of hate crime, burglary, hate crime, menacing, hate crime, criminal
chess pass, and harassment. After he got inside, they did
alert of security. Fortunately nobody was injured.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
What's going on with people? Andrew? What's you doing? Man?

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:32):
I don't understand this.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
Well, apparently what cops are saying is they asked him
what he was doing, and he said he always wanted
to call a black famous person the N word.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
What's the infatuation?

Speaker 11 (19:43):
Though?

Speaker 1 (19:43):
I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
He's a loser. Yeah, obviously have you seen what he
looks like?

Speaker 1 (19:47):
No, I need to see it.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Okay, Well here you can see that he is. I'd
be mad too, Okay, but yeah, so fortunately again everybody's okay.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Now.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Designer was arrested again again Carolina on a domestic violence charge.
Now they said he was allegedly chasing a woman with
a hammer, and the woman said that the two were
arguing about removing TVs from a wall and that's when
he grabbed her phone, destroyed it with a hammer, and
then she took her child to escape to a neighbor's house,

(20:17):
and she alleges that he threw her down and tossed
her purse over a fence and then allegedly vandalized the
neighbor's vehicles using a screwdriver and a hammer. So he's
now being charged with domestic violence second degree and three
counts of malicious injury to animals and other personal property,
and so each count as a felony with a maximum
sentence of five years behind bars.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
I just got worse and worse and worse and worse
and worse. You kept going, I don't understand what's going
on with Designer Man.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
I know, I know he has mental health issues, but
this is just next LEFP. I mean, he just had
a baby.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
Shout out to joycey wow, And I can't even imagine
what she's going through right now with these issues at home.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
So I'm just praying that she's okay and the baby's okay.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
All right.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
The FCC is taking aim at Disney. They're going after
the View. So, according to Bloomberg, the FCC is planning
to rule the show doesn't count as a bona fide
news program, so it has to give equal time to
candidates on both sides of the aisle, and so they
usually have this exception rule, which means that they can
have whoever they went on. They don't have to offer

(21:22):
equal time. That's just a rule. You have to offer
equal time. They interview Republicans occasionally. But now Disney, which
is ABC's parent company, is the subject of a separate
investigation into its television broadcast licenses, and they're escalating that investigation.
You know what they're trying to do get rid of
anybody that's against the president.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
I was getting ready to say it sounds like they've
lost creative control of the show.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
It sounds like all the news stations have lost any
type of control over reporting. I know you saw yesterday
Donald Trump was giving a speech about elections and you know,
election interference, and they have to be like, we can't
air this is untrue.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
He is somebody that wants to do things his way
or the high way.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
But what's crazy is that there were people that were
saying that the news should have had him on giving
false information, and that because they didn't, they're not credible. No,
the news can't just put anybody on saying anything like
you can't say untrue things.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
That's what he wants.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
But I mean they do it all the time, but
not to that level, like everything he's saying has They've
already investigated the election.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
They've already done all of that left.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
Plus y'all already got everything you got Congress, you got
the president like you got the executive. Varian's like, what else?
I don't understand, what's the problem. But anyway, that is
your yet And it's a new music Friday, so we'll
tell you what's out today, what you should be listening for.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Right now, let's take it to pop Smoke with Door.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's way up House shopping facts brought to you by
Top what's up his way up at Angela? Yee, I'm
here with my guy Doug Phenom. Yes, yes, and you
know we answer any questions you have for asking. Yeah,
you don't matter who you are.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
What's about?

Speaker 4 (23:00):
And today we have someone on the line who left
a voice message and apparently he is dating someone who
won't leave their ex allan should he be Polly?

Speaker 8 (23:08):
I've been talking too for like my line and if
that Lily wouldn't car leader xcelone. He brought up the
idea that what if I would like to be in
a holly relationship, and so I decided to go on
a day with his agg to see if there compatible.
I don't know if he's going to work out. I

(23:29):
don't know if I'm doing this, so I want to
do this. I'm just trying to keep him, I think
in the life PA.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
All right, Doug, what do you think?

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Man? This is a This is an interesting one. I
feel like if you're in a relationship with someone, you
should know what you want. You know, he sounds like
he's trying to appease.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yeah, he's trying to force himself to like something. Yeah,
And I don't think that happens like naturally. I think
if you if he liked it because he tried it,
he would say I'm in right. And if you don't
automatically feel like that, or if you're like trying to
make yourself like something, I don't think it's for you.
And you know, maybe you guys aren't compatible because that's

(24:06):
what he wants and it's not for you. If my
man was like, let's get another girlfriend, and I'm not
doing that, and so I don't think you should make
yourself do something you are not comfortable with, because I
feel like you want a one on one situation now
if he suggested it, or maybe you don't like the
other person his ex that could be because I also
has to be a weird feeling. This is somebody. I've

(24:26):
seen people do things where they bring in another person,
but it's not like, oh, let's bring my ex in,
because then it feels kind of like I'm having my
cake and eating it too. And then I'm sure it's
going to be like some types of jealousy because you
want him to leave his ex alone and he just won't.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Look, it's not that complicated. It's either you want it
or you don't want it. Okay, you need to speak
up to him. You know, I'm trying to be fair
in this situation. But you know, if you're a man,
at the end of the day, doesn't matter your sexuality.
You need to be able to tell the person what
is that you want?

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Yeah, and I feel like, you know, relationships can sometimes
be a compromise, or sometimes you experiment and you do
like something you experimented, you tried it, and you didn't
like it, It's okay, you know. And I don't think
it should be only one person making the compromises either,
Like I'm not gonna compromise the monogamy that I went
with you just so you can have everything that you want.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
And now I'm unhappy. Where's his compromise exactly?

Speaker 4 (25:17):
And so I just think that if he really valued
you and wanted to be with you, he would do
you and only you. And it feels like it may
not even stop here. What if he's like, now, I
want to add somebody else and somebody else. You know,
sometimes you open the door for those things and it
never closes.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Goes from a foursome to a five some. But I
agree with you, man, if you're out there, let them
know if you want to try it, just be a
man and go ahead and do it all.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Right, there you go, Doug Fina, I love this Well.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
That was ask ye And that's brought to you by
Top Dog Law. Call them for any accident big or small,
go to Topdog Law dot com. And right now here
is the Little Baby premiere Dead Fresh produced by Pharreh.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
And we also have.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Kez Naandi on the way and should I say the
Grammy Award winning Reggae Album of the Year Cakes Nandy.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
This is way up with Angela.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
You are a media maven, right, you never know what
AI's gonna say.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (26:14):
Its way up with Angela, yee, And we have a
Grammy award winner in the building.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Kez Namdi is here. It's an honor to have you.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
This is work, call your navy, DJ Nixill Nix all
the same, but he works on the show here too.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
He does on the radar And.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
Okay, now I know you've already been lit twenty thirteen,
had a big album, but even before that recording music
from a young age.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
But now it feels like a different type of energy.

Speaker 12 (26:40):
Differently, you know, get to our global award light that
definitely opens ata doors and brings a Lota light to
the croff. But at the end of d is still
don't change the work.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
I don't want any you to are watching this thinking
that the Angil.

Speaker 12 (26:55):
Is getting a Grammy or whatever, because it still doesn't
change the work and that putin as an artist, but
we still definitely as open.

Speaker 9 (27:02):
Plata doors for us, you know gifts.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
When I was watching the Grammys because I always pay
attention to who's winning you know what awards, and.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
It felt like you were like surprised by that.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
Talk to me about that day, because I don't care
where anybody says winning a Grammy award is a big deal.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I know people have said, oh, but.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
It is something that does I think, increased like yours,
you know, your streams, and increases certain types of It's
nice to put that, like Grammy Award winning artists in
front of your name.

Speaker 9 (27:30):
Definitely, recognition is a great thing, you know.

Speaker 12 (27:32):
I mean just being nominated was the wind force, you
know what I mean, because we were a small glass
roots team.

Speaker 9 (27:38):
We were up with the big leagues, you.

Speaker 12 (27:40):
Know, like you know, with the Great Vibes Cartail, you know,
we were that was just far from our mind, you know.

Speaker 9 (27:45):
And the name of.

Speaker 12 (27:47):
Whole respect blood on Fire was is spelled with two
exes because you know, in a.

Speaker 9 (27:53):
Yellow to curse on this go ahead, yeah, yeah, you
know in Jamerica blood blood is just like that. So
like on fire, blood fire.

Speaker 12 (28:05):
So it was like a kind of a way to
sense it. So when she said the new it still
didn't feel me because she seemed like she was unsure
because she was like blood, like she.

Speaker 9 (28:13):
Was trying to read. So like I still never believe it.

Speaker 6 (28:18):
You know.

Speaker 12 (28:19):
It was a great did force as a team because
we made a lot of people pro because we do
the conscious music, you know, so conscious music.

Speaker 9 (28:25):
Don't really it doesn't really fit.

Speaker 12 (28:28):
In certain spaces that are designed for entertainment.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Right now, I'm talking to Kez Nandi, twenty twenty six
Grammy Award winner a Best Reggae Album, and his album
is Blood and Fire. Like you said, it is a
grassroots labeling team that you have around you. Who's coming
at you now? Though?

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Because I have to imagine that. So what is it
that you plan to do?

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Because I can see already just from these conversations and
conversations that you had, that you are very tactical about
what it is that you do.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
So where do you see this going?

Speaker 12 (29:02):
You know, for me, I've been independent, not out of
oh I'm trying to be this week independent.

Speaker 9 (29:08):
Artist, just more out of necessity.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 12 (29:11):
Like I learned how to produce because no producers was
giving me ridws.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Imagine that.

Speaker 9 (29:17):
So independence was.

Speaker 12 (29:18):
Just birth because we never really knew how to do well?
Is did this Gola style? It's more about partnership for me.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
That's what I was going to say, because you're in
a position where you don't necessarily have to do that,
but you can construct something unique that doesn't have to
be traditionally what for something never been done before?

Speaker 2 (29:36):
All Right, Kez Namby is here.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
You know him as the artists who won Grammy for
Best Reggae Album this year.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
We got more when we come back. It's way up.
What's apps?

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Way up at Angela Ye, And I'm so excited to
talk to Grammy Award winning artist Cas Namby.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
And I know you're working on new music too. If
I'm not mistake, you're definite.

Speaker 12 (29:54):
We soon finished the next album already.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
And do you feel a different type of pres pressure
now or you still chill? Which is okay? You know,
pressure makes diamonds, right.

Speaker 12 (30:05):
I think I feel like I'm in my peak right now.
It's not pressure from people. It's more pressure with time
to make sure that I get this. No, while this
youthful exubiance is in this because nobody can just press
a button to say, you know, I'm going to go
in and record a great song, like.

Speaker 9 (30:22):
Nobody knows what they're doing really, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
In music, that's what I think.

Speaker 12 (30:26):
It just comes to that, and you hope and you
hope that it comes on something good. Sometimes you have
a bad day in the suit or something. Sometimes you
have a great month in a pseudo, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
So for me, I.

Speaker 12 (30:36):
Just want to while this movement is here. The connection
that I have with my inspiration, I.

Speaker 9 (30:41):
Want to make sure I utilize that.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
It's more that kind of pressure. And you started off
as a rapper. Really, I was listening.

Speaker 12 (30:47):
To a lot of like most of the black thought
that was like my choice as a young sixteen year
old youth.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
You did do a hipper fastyle though, Yeah, prior to
this album of a bust the rhymes, Yeah yeah, I
mean not just let's.

Speaker 12 (31:01):
Peace, let's mark promise the class.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Class.

Speaker 9 (31:08):
You're not getting cuts.

Speaker 12 (31:13):
To keeping applause without a freaking my bodysend. We dropped
that freestyle like three days before the album dropped. I
remember we recorded it on Tuesday, shot the video on Wednesday,
and released it on Crazy went Crazy like Swiss sweets,
Queen La Tea from Amazing, Like I saw the entire

(31:36):
Jummy fraternity just.

Speaker 9 (31:38):
Like was just showing a Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Right now, I'm talking to Nandi twenty twenty six Grammy
Award winning the Best Reggae Album and his album is
Blood and Fire, and you're amazing awareness about the beaches
in Jamaica.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, can we talk about that for a second. People
may not know this.

Speaker 12 (31:54):
Yeah, so I'm I ambassador for JABIM, which is I
think it stands for Jammy Beach Right Association. Locals don't
really have a lot of access to the Jamaican beaches.
It's not like here in the US where we have
a lot of parks and recreational spaces where people can
go and decompress. People so far off in a Jemming

(32:15):
people are being barred from their call it plantation tourism.
All these big corporations are common in making billions, taking
the money out of the country, and the locals themselves
not really benefiting from this industry. We have a documentary
that we teamed up with Jobbing to Work and just
raising awareness that we've been screening a lot. We're about

(32:36):
to release it shortly. But that's what it's about, the fight,
you know, and there's a lot of legal battles going
on right now. And you know, we recorded a song
that's on the album called Colonial Bandage, and that's kind
of the driving force of that song was because we
were fighting this cause.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
But we appreciate you so much of a comment to
and congratulations for everything that's I mean.

Speaker 9 (32:58):
Natural, people appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Thank you.

Speaker 12 (33:00):
Chael just wanted to know, like we don't really have
a lot of platforms first, you know what I mean,
So like we always have to go through the mediums
of people who it's not really a reggae platform or
I'm not saying that you're a plot, but like all
these hip hop stations where we go and hip hop
when networks, you know, So for you to give such
a platform to ascribbian people, we truly appreciate.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
All Right, Well, thank you so much again, and I'm
sure we'll see you when you come back around for

said she needed some work down at the house and
when I got there, she was undressed and it's been
going on every since.
