This is a topic I've been wanting to speak on for a while, but it's been laying dormant while I work on other podcast episode, vlogs and projects. When I saw the viral clip of Micahel B. Jordan addressing someone he went to school with, I was fired up and wanted to do a podcast on it immediately. All other projects were then put to this side. This episode is based around how meaningless the perception of being a lame, cornball, nerd, or any other unfavorable label young ones may receive in school. While being around your peers as a youth can be a positive and personality shaping feature, there is also the bad side which can also shape one's personality. At the end of the day. Be kind and be yourself. EAZY!

Yumi is back with me on this episode and has a lot to contribute to this discussion! We first dive into the topic of not quite fitting in to our settings due to racial and social stigmas and then get into the discussion of surgery, self love and would YOU get some work done if you had the money?? There is an obvious delay and lag time between us which I apologize for. That's just a side effect of remote podcasts sometimes. Thanks for watching!

Crowded Places talks "Leave It As It Is, Not How It Was": Album features and Documentary
Crowded Places speaks on life during the pandemic, doing features, mixing & mastering and his new album.
When I started the podcast in 2019, I was not aware of distribution sites that would keep my content on various platforms. Therefore, I would post all of my early episodes exclusively on Soundcloud. As time progressed I used a distribution platform and would then upload my future episodes there. This is one of my early episodes that never made it to Spotify.
This interview is audio only where I interviewed one of my friends who moved to Pittsburgh as an adult. I wanted to get his perspective on how things have changed for him, making new friends and getting used to a completely different culture here. Thanks for watching!

This interview is from August 2020. I held on to it for so long because my audio is not up to the standard I usually like. It turns out I did not switch my Zoom settings to use the mic that was connected. So my audio is from my laptop mic.
Back in August of 2020, I talked to one of my childhood friends and closest homies, Dustin, about his life in Mexico. Dustin moved to Mexico in his late teens and hasn't looked back since. This is a special interview because we get a look into the difference between life in different countries. Dustin has endured a lot; from finding work, navigating in a foreign land and finding suitable living. The experiences he's had are invaluable and put in perspective some of the things we may take for granted. I'm proud of my brother and happy at all the progress he's made over the years. EAZY.

Welcome back to the show! I sat down with Kayla Kreates about everything creative to come out the year of 2020. Although last year did not come short of many challenges, there were some positives that we'd like to share with the people and hope whoever listens can think about some positives to come out of last year.
- I talk about some upgrades in equipment to the podcast along with some plans for the future, and Kayla Kreates talks about how she upgraded her planner selling business.

I talked to Ryan Lloyd about how he got into programming, working with electronics, going to school and eventually creating a game with his own original characters.

Coming out the DMV is Jeff, also known as “The Times”. He is an East Coast Dj who is a student of the game. Right from the jump in this interview, he put some respect on the legendary Dj Jazzy Jeff’s name and briefly touched on his impact in the culture. This was a pretty fun interview in which we talk about Jeff’s background and beginnings in the element, his style of DJ’ing, going in business for himself and much more. I was recently featured on "Loungin Radio" which Jeff participates as one of the hosts. The biweekly show includes DJ sets, listening to listeners song choices and plenty of enjoyable people and faces to virtually lounge with and enjoy the music. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy!

My homeboy Dan was a guest on the show and took me to school about some of the classic old school artists. He talks about people like Prince, Rick James, Ray Charles, Elvis, The Beatles and so much more. The only reason this episode ended was because I got hungry and needed to eat (I don't play about my food). But there is so much moore to this episode. I got to know my bro on a different level. Even his talking about his upbringing and making the most of what he has. A lot can be learned from the bro!

Meet Tyler, also known by Takam. We sat down on for a virtual interview to talk about his beginnings in music, life in Pennsylvania, recording music and more. Takam is honest about his work, highlighting that he wants to be a better songwriter & talks about his past work. I say he has untapped potential because in a sense, he’s just getting started. Something that I took away from this interview is the difference between doing music and recording it. Learning new recording software, mixing, mastering and buying proper recording hardware all goes into what a musician does, especially someone like Takam who works independently. Thanks for watching. I apologize for the delays in the video. We had some connection issues while recording. Bear with me!

I got to interview my first chef! When I started this podcast my goal was to talk music & interview artists, musicians and creatives. I never thought about the culinary arts field in terms of interviewing a chef, so this is a first for me and I’m glad I got a chance to do it. Whipping up a meal is more than throwing some seasonings on some chicken... people have their own twists, creations and visions when it comes to their cooking.
