BAPTALK PODCAST
BAPTALK is a relaxed space where me and my guests kick back, light up, and let the conversations flow. it's about good vibes, unfiltered thoughts, and REAL TALK- whether it's funny stories, deep debates, or just chilling and connecting.
Episodes
Trust sounds simple until life teaches you the price tag. Rae joins us for part two, and we go way past small talk into what a Chicago upbringing does to your mindset, why survival thinking can follow you long after you leave the streets, and how you learn to move more methodical without forgetting where you came from. We also take a moment to reflect on loss and the way community shows up when it matters.

Somebody can listen to your music, watch your clips, and still never know who you are. That’s where this conversation starts and where it keeps coming back: real character versus a public mask.
I’m joined by Houston indie rapper Jono Damafiadon, and we talk Houston the way locals actually talk Houston. He breaks down where he’s from, why neighborhood identity matters, and the kind of street-...
One question flips the whole room: “When did you become gay?” My guest Juanita “Bull” Lyon answers with the kind of honesty most people dodge, tracing identity back to childhood, trauma, and years of trying to satisfy a deeply religious family while still becoming herself.
From there, we go deeper than labels. We talk addiction recovery, prison time that still leaves an imprint on your...
A conversation about dating can turn serious fast when you stop performing and start telling the truth. That’s exactly what happens when I call Rae (aka “Sexy Rae”) and we go from playful questions to the stuff that actually shapes your standards: cheating, trust, loyalty, and what it means to grow up through hard experiences without letting them harden you.
Rae opens up about being si...
A handmade hat can look simple in a photo, but the real story is in the build: the materials, the hours, the finishing, and the choices that separate “custom” from truly high-end. We’re joined by our brother Eddie J of Eddie J Exotic Hats, and he walks us through how Chicago hat culture and a hustle-first mindset turned into a luxury custom hat brand built on detail and authenticity.
We get ...
Thirteen years gone changes your perspective, your priorities, and the way you measure time and loyalty. On this phone call from federal prison, we link up with Mook Skilla as he talks about his release coming soon, the reality of coming home from the feds, and why he believes the comeback has to be bigger than celebration. The energy is equal parts gratitude and urgency, with shoutouts to the people who stayed soli...
Love sounds simple until you realize two people can want the same relationship and still feel totally unseen. We sit down and get real about love languages, why “communication” means different things to different people, and how physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, and gifts can either build connection or create constant frustration.
We also go straight at one of th...
What happens when old school romance crashes into modern dating rules? We pull up with Auntie Monica and Camille for an unfiltered talk on courting, clear intentions, and why “say what you mean” still separates grown love from messy vibes. From flowers and first dates to labels and boundaries, we get real about what actions actually signal commitment—and what’s just performance.
We dig...
Dating rules keep changing, but the need for clarity never went out of style. We jump straight into the tension: is courting a green flag or a waste of time in a hookup-first world? I admit I like to show up with gifts, plans, and effort; Camille keeps me honest about reciprocity, intention, and why “skip to the end” backfires. We put numbers on the pressure—60, 90, 120 days—and ask a hard qu...
If hustle had a soundtrack, this would be it. We sat down and traced a straight line from a near-finished debut album to a fresh comedy film idea, a growing clothing line, and have a podcast that refuses to stall. The theme tying it all together is simple and sharp: protect your time, fuel your grind, and build a system that lasts longer than hype.
We break down the album From My Eyes to Your Ears—why t...
We trade cousin stories, set plans for building together, and argue NBA legacies with live Rockets-OKC reactions. Chicago food cravings push us to build our own lane with Chicago Munchies while we pick sleeper teams, question flopping, and fight over the GOAT.
• live check-ins and family gratitude
• new ventures across food, media and photography

The moment you realize the old code is costing your future, everything shifts. We open up about trading the tough-guy reflex for a mindset anchored in faith, accountability, and context—understanding when to walk away and when to stand firm. That shift isn’t theory; it’s lived experience across Chicago blocks and quiet Minnesota streets, where the same move can mean safety in one place and trouble ...
What happens when a Nashville studio trip lights a fire you can’t put out? We bring in Husky and JC Boots from 310 Crew Studios to share how a simple “let’s learn it ourselves” turned into a creative business that records artists, shoots concert tours, and crafts crisp, story-first videos for clients across industries. From Big Lake, Minnesota to a tour bus rolling city to city, they show how...
The news hits like a punch: another man dead, ten shots, a phone mistaken for a weapon, and a rush of takes before the facts land. We slow everything down. We walk through the footage, the witness accounts, and the instant pundit spin that tries to lock a narrative in place. If justice is supposed to be blind, why do the rules seem to change based on who’s holding the camera, the badge, or the mic?
From...
I lay out why loyalty beats love when the stakes get real and trace how Chicago’s Lowend shaped that code. MY talk moves through policing, protests, and plans for a Lowend documentary, with a roadmap for guests, travel, and a series on awareness and healing.
• choosing loyalty over love and what it protects
• Chicago lowend roots and lived experience
• how raids and demolitions unraveled order

Doors open and excuses close. We’re launching a free Met Gala that blends live performances, a rolling podcast, and pro photography into one night designed to help artists get seen, heard, and documented without paying a cent. Major Talk pulls up to map the vision: bring your set, get your footage, meet collaborators, and leave with assets you can post the next day. We break down the blueprint with zero fluff....
Sirens, headlines, and a fractured comment section can turn a human life into a talking point. We slow the tape and walk through what happened in Minneapolis, why ICE’s mandate differs from local policing, and how training and policy choices ripple into the most dangerous three seconds of someone’s life. From the first approach to those final gunshots, we focus on procedure: when an agent can engage, why...
Two strangers sit down and skip small talk. We trade stories about single parenting, what it means to be both comfort and consequence, and how hard it is to stay firm when you want to be your kid’s safe place. Dani opens up about healing after domestic violence and choosing counseling to break patterns. I share where I fell short as a father and why I believe standards, not fear, give kids a path to stand on. ...
You’ll feel the shift the moment Madison starts talking about run reviews. We trade the TV version of EMS for the real thing: CPR that doesn’t always land, pediatric calls that demand calm, and the quiet pride of learning from each run so the next patient gets a little more skill and a lot more clarity. Between sips and side jokes, we get a rare look at how a first responder stays human under pressure&md...
