Gospel artist Jokia brings her baby Rain as backup while facing off against host Cedric Ballard in the spiciest game show edition of Black Smoke Table Talk yet. Between bites of increasingly fiery wings, Jokia shares her journey since entering the music industry in 2017, watching platforms evolve from Vine to TikTok and witnessing how streaming has transformed artist revenue. She explains why partnering with Black Smoke Records felt like the right move after years of independent hustle, and how she defines her music as inspirational love that speaks to both saved and unsaved audiences. The conversation heats up as both host and guest tackle gospel trivia questions about Black Smoke artists, stellar award records, and Hip Hop Boobly (where Jokia voices a character). Through laughs, tears from hot sauce, and "Never Have I Ever" confessions about forgotten lyrics and church mic dodging, Jokia reveals her moment of doubt about continuing music and how God redirected her from chasing industry accolades to focusing on ministry impact.
