In this episode of the AYOO CHILL podcast, I sit down with Turkish Royale — co-founder of MadMinds — to talk about the explosive growth of one of New Jersey’s most impactful creative movements.

We dive into how the MadMinds team went from hosting underground shows to booking Bobby Shmurda, and how the journey has transformed not only the community, but us as creators, leaders, and friends. Turk opens up about the early days of MadMinds, the challenges of keeping the vision alive, and what it takes to build a sustainable platform for artists in today’s independent scene.

From late-night planning sessions to sold-out events, this episode captures the real conversations that happen behind the mic — about growth, teamwork, and believing in something bigger than yourself.

🎙 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • The story behind MadMinds’ rise in the NJ creative scene
  • The process of booking Bobby Shmurda and what it meant for the movement
  • How collaboration and friendship fuel long-term success
  • Reflections on community, consistency, and creative legacy

Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or just someone trying to build something of your own, this conversation will leave you inspired to keep pushing forward.
