For the final installment of "IYKYK", I. am joined by Chelsea Pastel, Joey Aich and Weswill. This segment is called 'Hail Mary,' and we discuss leverage points in these rising star's careers. Pastel is an artist and producer based in Cleveland, Ohio who recently dropped a new single “Kitty” with Auntie Piggy. If this is the first time you’re hearing her name, trust me it won’t be the last. Weswill comes with 90s nostalgia heat that catches fire every time. His new rap single “ He Ain’t Me” drops March 2nd and we get a nice preview from the man himself on what to expect. Wes is a true gem very excited for this. Later we get rapper/performer Joey Aich on the mic. Known for his heart on sleeve lyrics and high energy shows, Joey gets us amped for 'Aich Madness SZN' as he sets to go out on tour this spring. Couldn’t have asked for a better set to end the day with.

It's All-Star Weekend in Cleveland, OH and with big names soaking up most of the city's attention, I thought this would be the perfect time to seek out the names that you will come to know. Our first episode, “IYKYK” breaks into three parts. Part One is Warm Ups featuring culture archivist, Shelli Reeves, creator of Reframe History and Angelique Williams founder of Let Art Breathe. Reeves believes when it comes to African American history everything must be valued, documented and accessible, her virtual exhibition provides a look into artwork / history while keeping storytelling as an integral component. Williams, of Let Art Breathe is a wild card. I love a good betting hand and she is someone to keep on deck. Listen to their stories here.
