Join me, some members of my inner circle, and some of the other wonderful people I’ve encountered on this journey called life for an unfiltered chat, a few laughs, and hopefully a handful of teachable moments.

It's a lonely place at home right now, luckily people have been getting by and having some good things happen in tough times. My Guy Jay Moore on the zoom session to talk about how he's living what his hair looks like and the first thing he's doing once he gets out.
If you're an 80s baby like me you'll remember what real boredom was. This is how we feel with no sports and breaking news every day. Every day we hear something new. Is too much info good info?

PSA if you're a millennial the Corona Virus will not kill you. I touch on the craziness that I see as the public response to the outbreak and why I still hate sneaker culture after all these years. I'm on my Curb Your Enthusiasm vibe on this one.
This week the original gang is back as we talk on everything from the Allstar game to how we feel being 3 years in the podcast game and what it means to get old quick. We talk about a lot in between, listen for the conversation, stay because you like what you hear, share because you want to help the platform grow.
I know its been so long but when tragedy strikes and it's emotional I want to talk about it. Listen Like Share.
It's 2019 and I'm still talking about the same things I did back in 2017. Colin Kaepernick, Donald Trump, and the way people treat women... Why aren't we doing better by now.
The Point of this quick pod is that life is a walking contradiction I can both like something and hate something from the same person at the exact same time. And guess what that is perfectly ok, that is what free will and choices are all about.
Rule #1 Networking should always be free. Rule #2 if someone wants to charge you then you're in the wrong space. This week I sit down with a bunch of creatives and mostly listen to how we describe navigating the world of connecting with others while black. We got something for the introverts and the extroverts and the people that flip flop in between. Stay for the conversation, Share with a friend if you like it.
What happens when the creators create in one space? We have a conversation about support and what we need and how we give it to everyone else. Use the background as white noise but stay for the conversation. Next week maybe you should pull up too
Sometimes you have to use your platform to empower others. This week I choose to get behind a person and his cause. Salute to Chris for all that you're doing in the city, it matters. Also touched on AB because I'm a raider fan and broke my own rule about not discussing sports.
How you can join and be active: @Empas_org
Salute to my guys the Art Hype and Joey for a conversation that went way left of what I originally had planned. Started at a place with 3 creatives try to understand the thirst trap to how we have each grown in very different ways but our paths all intersect.
If you give an opinion they gonna say that you hate. This ring especially true about someone that people love. Well, I've never run from controversy so here is my take on Hov and the NFL making a deal.
Free Meek was completely eye-opening documentary and I'm sorry for the words that I used while he went through the prison system. I didnt know the truth and now that I do it changes so much about how I saw that man.
Ain't no Future in Frontin...Problem is everybody does it. In an era where everybody shows you who they want to be, is it ok to still be you?
I don't know why we commemorate the anniversaries of tragedies when we don't have any meaningful resolutions. My 2019 take on "I cant Breath." More summer city talks about the Hot Boyz vs City Girls and more things to help you make it through your commute.
I know I know, where the heck have I been. Well honestly life happened and so many things that needed my attention but that also left me only thinking negative none entertaining thoughts so I paused on that for you to bring you the rules for the Summer.
I know I know, Ayesha Curry got roasted by black twitter 2 weeks ago. Where was your commentary? Why would she do it, should she have done it, was what she said even ok. Well guess what, I break that down and more because like most people even rich and famous want to know if they still got it!!!
People judge you by the company that you keep, well this episode I had my OG Greg on the pod to discuss his thoughts and the journey behind BLAQ'D The Brand. What happens when you realize that there is an itch you can't scratch and you put in the work to see that dream no longer be deferred.

This week's episode is brought to you by the black man who's tired of people trying to figure out math when the bill comes at group dinners. I also touch on why we celebrate cheating, why too much choice is a problem and why we dont feel like being left out of anything so we spend too much money just to stay informed.
Like, Listen, or Share or do all 3.
Nipsey wasn't killed by the man or killed because of a stupid documentary. He was killed because we don't value black lives the way we should. Sometimes it's your own people that do the worst things to you. I also talk about why I hate that my mom follows me on social media and the light skin brother from the bank that's really a cornball. 20 minutes of commentary 10 minutes of stories. Enjoy
Everyone loves a victim, it seems to be the easiest way to get over on the public when you did something really messed up. This week I have my homie Erica come down to discuss everything from crazy stuff in Chicago to access to education for those that need it.
This week a Fan talked crazy to Russ, I hate on Samsung's new phone, and last but not least this week's cancel culture candidate and why I'm not canceling another person of color until we see some changes made.
16 Minutes of just Me on a Saturday. Personal life took me away for 2 weeks but the game needed me to touch on valentines day and to drop my final thoughts for black history month 2019.
Have you ever been even a little curious about how Native Africans view the problems of Black America? News flash they don't think they are better but they do see recurring problems and issues. Thanks to Ike for dropping by and having a great conversation. We take turns from Kaepernick to Gucci and back to our fav brand Nike.
I got the chance to listen to a lecture from Michael Eric Dyson that challenged some thoughts I had about canceling everybody that I didn't agree with. Cancel Culture is the new wave and I'm not sure we should be riding it so hard.
This week I had my stolen cousin on to discuss the boundaries of friendships. Do you hold down your ex-friends after relationships die? Just because you get money together does that make you friends?
Clearly, I'm motivated because I'm releasing episodes, like, subscribe, or share.
I appreciate you! Rell
No spoilers this time but we do have a long and needed discussion about who we support and how its ok for you to be a total creep but still be one of the biggest acts in entertainment. Yars keeps Jay and I in check when we cant see past being men to understand the other side of things.
This is the 2018 wrap up you never realized that you wanted to hear. No, we don't touch on the best album or the best verse or best anything, but we do talk about things that we do not want to see in 2019. Got a few of my friends on wax to destroy and uplift us all at the same time. Starting 2019 off with a bang! Happy New Year
I often say that my podcast is inspired by my real life, This week after hearing an R&B singer talk about why he makes his confused love songs I decided to dig into the crates a little with my own life to discuss how messed up relationships effect men and why we cant get over it. Guest Mic is Darren and boy did we say some ish. Stay for the stories take away the key points and grow from my mistakes so you can do better than I did.
I wanted to drop some content on voters day. I took the best question of the day last because I want you to finish the episode. Shameless plug but I took another crack at Q/A this week because of its just me and no guest. Do the right thing and vote.
This week I jacked the format of my favorite podcast @the-evening-jones-1 for fun. Until he starts making new episodes I hope this holds us all over. No spoilers just a Q&A session with some of my social media friends.
I consider this my crossover episode to appeal to the ladies. I had the chance to have an amazing blogger/influencer Nneka come to talk everything from high fashion to kicks. She enlightened me to some stuff I would have never thought of. Baggy Jeans aka dad jeans are making a comeback...I just got used to skinny leg Versace is still gonna be cool even with Michael Kors as the owner *Its ok to recycle pieces of an outfit for the gram!

Spoiler Alert: If you have not finished Season 2 of Ozark Skip from 39:01-40:25.
This episode was a lot of fun to record. Thanks to Chinky and Deek
Finally, we have made it out of the 50's. Huge Accomplishment but this week I had a great guest Ms Cult Classiq on to discuss everything we saw with the blackest summer for movies that I can remember in a very long time. Sounds of the summer for this weeks soundtrack.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did recording it.
This is the interlude before a longer episode that I'm releasing tomorrow but I needed to get some stuff off my chest. Did nike promote Colin for them or us? Are you as tired of think pieces on TV shows as I am? Can we just enjoy entertaintment without overthinking everything. Well listen to my thoughts and tell me if i'm wrong.
This weeks background is inspired by Rocafella Records
Yes, This week I hijacked the title from everyone's favorite east coast music festival. When you get the chance to work with people on the ground floor and watch them succeed this is literally what the American Dream is all about.
I had the opportunity to sit down with Anngela (yes that's the correct spelling) to talk about her journey in creating a "Level Up: A Songwriting and Music Business Summit. She tells her story and why music has literally been a lifelong passion of hers.

This week I get introspective about where my platform stands and how my thoughts have changed about it over the past year. This is my "My First Song" or "Last Call" it doubles as a bunch of stories and shoutouts to everyone that has helped me get this far.
No, My track title isn't a typo. This week my guest is the founder of Gladiathers, Ms. Ceclia Townes. I see the amazing work that she puts in every day to advance causes that are much greater than my own. As a former college athlete, she was the perfect guest to discuss some of this week's topics. Lebron's I promise school, TO's decision to skip the formal Hall of Fame induction, & Whats the real reason that Serena doesn't get the endorsement money that she believes she should get.
Please support my friend and check out how you can help empower women in sports and life. https://gladiathers.com/
This week I got the chance to sit down with 1/2 of the @crewminutewarning. DJ and I have rapped offline about all kinds of things but mostly focus this week on loyalty in sports, his life as a Division 1 baller, and his life and experiences being a black man in the real south. Music this week is brought to you by his love of all thing Rick Ross.
This week I'm joined by none other than Carla from @shitim30podcast. We jump on topics that range from my stupid mouth on twitter to twitter trolls to her own podcast and story. Since shes repping Florida this week's soundtrack is brought to you by Weezy F Baby. Yeah I know he's from NO but he's lived in Miami so long I'm claiming it for him.
Released this a day earlier than normal. My release schedule has been awful lately and I only want to give you guys great content and this episode is just that. Are all of this life vigilantes racist? BBQ lady, Kid selling Water Lady and Pool Pass Guy deserve another chance. Why I'm really upset with Kanye West 1 month later. Salute to my guest Temi this week. I really enjoyed it and I hope you do too.
This may just be my first live recording in 6 weeks. Life happens and it just so happened that I lacked inspiration. Nothing was moving me content wise and I refuse to give you guys trash for the sake of keeping a release schedule. So on my return from Hiatus, I give you some updates on me(I know you care), Drizzy in blackface, Ye in his Maga greatness, while I’m tying this all together with a central theme. I'm the MC this week but my DJ is none other than @chandon_thedj. She is def here to give the ladies exactly what they want.
I know I know i'm 2 weeks late, I recorded this episode about a week ago but you're in for a good one.
Why does DJ Khaled not bless his wife? Can you really be woke if you're wife isn't black? Short answer is yes but it's complicated. Why dont men take i'm not interested for an answer in DM's? I finally gave some words to Kanye West. I miss the guy from graduation but here is my take and 2 cents on this.
What's better than 1 episode about music? 2, this is part 2 of the series MUSIC IS JUST WHAT FEELINGS SOUND LIKE. KOD is the focus of our topic this week. It allows us to touch on everything from Kanye to cheating. TRACKS 1. False Prophets 2. Photograph 3. Kevin's Heart 4. 1985 Bonus Track Arin Ray - Never Find Me
There was this time that I was scared that I was going to go viral getting played by Miko Grimes...Hear my side of the story.

Last but not least thanks for the Suggestion Groove Mix provided by @djtheddc

Random Ish My OG isn't old but has old ears My Best friend is moving
When the Beat stops This week I wanted to get serious and talk about how much I hate the amount of control of jobs have on our lives.
I pray you watched Atlanta last week because the first half of my episode is directly from that. People typically judge a book by its cover and no matter how much cash you got people will take your cash and still not respect you.
Part 2 talks about us living in a world full of hate...I hate that we have to discuss this all the time but we have to learn how to find something positive in the darkness. These thoughts inspired by @vado - Hate off Sinatra 2.5
This week I didn't watch a single piece of news. So instead of current events for which there will be none discussed this is my foray into discussing the way music makes you feel. I broke this down into 3 segments so please listen along and let me know how they make you feel. Music With A conscience 1:44 Love vs Lust 12:14 Long Live The Trap 24:12
This week I'm joined by none other than my guy @thearthype. We joined forces to have a crazy art-centric episode. These questions need answers?
- After an outfit hits the gram once can you ever show it on the gram again?
- Did you like Get Out?
- A celebration of culture or star wars level costume play for people going to see black panther?
- Presidential portraits of Barack & Michelle Obama
*New Segment For This Week* Heavy Rotation is all about our love of music. This week I introduce 2 Artist that I never hear people talk about. Rell 1. Cozz - Zendaya(ft. J-Cole) 2. Sir - Something New (ft. Etta Bond)

I'm all over the place this week. I touch on everything from not looking at twitter for 2 days after Safaree happened to why the 2nd amendment was racist then and still works the same way now. I touch on a couple other things in between but stay for the topics and the cool instrumentals.

Yeah I know I know, I wanted to talk about it too. The difference is I'm not spoiling the movie or even talking about the plot but instead just how important it is to normalize some of the images of the movie.
Also, touch on gun violence and where we go from here. Will anything change? Listen and find out my thoughts.
Protect At all Cost 1. Stan Lee 2. Lebron James 3. Black People(yes all of us) 4. Gilbert Arenas
Last but not least Happy Birthday to me, leave me a rating on Itunes or Soundcloud to show your love.
You ever wonder why everything always seemed better when we were kids? Well, guess what, we have entered the Wave of bringing back oldies but goodies for all forms of entertainment. If you had a favorite show in the 90s and the Actor/Actress is alive there is the possibility that it will be revived 20 plus years later...Again.
New Segment Alert Protect at all cost 1. Barak Obama 2. Plies 3. Chris Brown
J Cole St Tropez provides the background music this week.
This week Quincy Jones goes old person I dont give an F and tells all the stories. Faizon Love gets at Dave Chappelle and people say its hate. Stories from my childhood and adult hero Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and last but not least things are changing in 2018. Keep up.

This week we keep it short and simple after last weeks epic trip. We touch on everything from Monique to Hov to the Donald’s SOTU address.
Thanks for the support
After being on hiatus last week I bring you my longest episode ever. I totally didn't plan it this way but Men & Women have a hard time figuring out what Aziz did. Babe.net opened the door for a conversation we all needed to have and for you to listen to.
There is no hate it or love it this week because I ran way further than I like to.
Speical shout out to this week's sponsor and caterer @neatmeatdc Please visit him https://www.instagram.com/neatmeatdc/ to find his scheudule and to try out his food.
Everyone has had that moment where the dog ate your homework, or when Word crashed in the middle of a paper. This episode is my turn at that. Oh boy, I had a great episode but due to technical difficulties, I can not use that content at all.
So instead of a great guest episode, you have the pleasure of listening to me discuss the do's and dont's of travel to see someone of the opposite sex. Ladies if you want to go visit the dude you met on a vacay please listen to this. Gentlemen if you don't want to be perceived as a creep please listen to this.
Hate It or Love It
Why do most black people claim to have Indian in their heritage? Feather not Red Dot(Girls Girls Girls)
Constructive Criticism is ok, it should not result in a bitchassness response(co @diddy)
Why do we assign truth or value to someone's message based on how many people know of them? Have a million followers on Twitter, you must be talking facts. Have 2, well your point just isn't valid.
Yes I talked about H&M too, no hot takes i'm just over fake outrage unless we are trying to fix all forms of isms. Scream at me but if u hate for other reasons but jumped on this wave sorry not rocking with it.
Let's start off 2018 with a bang. Every single year we do the same routine of making promises to ourselves that we stop keeping as soon as the 2nd week of January hits. This year let's do better. Encourage those around you that their dreams/goals are attainable.
Hate it Apple and what seems to be their solution to keep people buying new iPhones every year. This may not be the reason but man the conspiracy just seems to fit this one.
Cold weather everywhere, unless you're a winter baby or play in the snow this one needs no explanation.
The South's love of fried everything. They may be onto something because they sure seem to live longer than the rest of us.
Love it Spending NYE at home on the couch. Best decision made in 2018
To the days getting longer each and every single day now. Everybody loves the sunshine!

Do you ever feel like the black-owned business doesn't give you the same service you think you get at other establishments? Yeah me too but why not give them another chance. This is a huge problem in our community. Why don’t we value the way our dollar circulates through our community like other ethnic groups do?
Let’s remove the social stigma for asking about getting help, sometimes things are just rough and you need help to talk yourself through them.
Hate It or Love It For the 2nd week in a row, bullying is a trending topic that I hate.
The republicans push back of the Net Neutrality rules and what this means for regular people.
If you need help www.achievingmentalvictory.com is a great resource for this. If you’re outside of the Washington DC area please use google to find something locally.
Christmas is a time to love each other, we let so many people paint false narratives that we start to actually believe it. Fox News has been using crap like this to keep people angry for too long. NO More!
Get Rich or Die Trying Here are some things people have spoken about or investments. Of course, I want you to do your own research but here are the things I both use.
Acorns - http://bit.ly/2z8Hm1H Get 5 dollars for signing up
Coinbase - http://bit.ly/2AzoefA Get 10 dollars worth of bitcoin once you buy $100 on any of the 3 currencies they offer.
Hate It or Love It The Keaton Jones story. Heartbreaking to see any child feeling that kind of hurt. The flip and the internet backlash is disturbing on so many levels. Rumors spread faster than the truth and we have no idea what is what.
I really do hate the New Christmas. We spend so much money on buying gifts to show our love instead of focusing on what really matters. The thought still counts not the size of the gift.

PS. Now that Matt Lauer is gone form NBC it seems they should have listened to my episode first.
This week I take you on a history lesson, how we used to be private to now most of our thoughts are shared for the world to see.
Week 2 of Hate it or Love it I hate a lot this week but I love my friends, family and most importantly my listeners.
Would the world say #FreeMeek if he wasn't a famous rapper? Is the body shaming of Demetria Obilor a newsworthy topic? Why Heartbreak On A Full Moon is the wrong album title for Chris Brown's 45 track monster project.
Sorry for the delay but writer's block even hits podcasters. I hate talking just to talk so i waited until I could actually find something that gave me a feeling. That feeling is talking about the support we give people and what we expect from them. It's a short episode today but it's one that you shouldn't miss.
This week I tackle #Metoo from a man's perspective. I won't lie and say I knew that the issue was this big or widespread but it's time for us to be honest about what we are seeing in the world. Men we gotta do better
The best thing about having a podcast is letting people rock with their own truth. This Episode I had the chance to find out what happens when you slide in DMs for people you see and how an early 30's guy see's the cross between technology women and dating them.
Thanks to @bartenderstu for this one.
This week our Tweeter in chief got everyone in the NFL's panties in a bunch. What happens when a non black person refers to you as a Nigga. We all know how to feel if "er" is involved but after we normalized it can we be surprised that others want to use it in anyway? Are people still avoided the opportunity to have a voice anymore?

I hate that everything is a discussion, we share way too much on social media. Is it my fault for sharing or your fault for paying attention? I don't really hate it but this helps tie together what Jemele Hill, Kevin Hart and Kyrie Irving have in common and its more than people's opinions that shouldn't matter. Episode 26 brought to you by none other than ProStyleWatches.

It feels like Insecure is how I start each of my latest episodes but the season finale was a phenomenal episode of TV, I dissect who's really winning in these fictional LA streets. I also discuss the iPhone X and why i dont care to buy it. They can keep the 1000 price tag and i'll take a trip instead.

I promise to get back on track now that my schedule has gotten better. Thanks for still tuning in.
This week black men discuss insecure and the truth why these characters are so flawed and screwed up. Does Floyd Mayweather's win even matter? What do disasters and preachers have in common? Does Joel Osteen deserve our support? Enjoy the jokes take our pov and form your own opinions.
The Rell world with Justice and Darren episode 24
3 weeks off and I hope you missed me, or at least that's what I'm going to believe like I'm crazy. So much crazy has happened since we last spoke. What used to be Taboo is no longer taboo. Why did we immediately dismiss the usher accuser. Why do we need validation from The Donald about racism? We touch on this and some.

A lot of your favorite entertainers seem to do things that none of us agree with. What's the final straw that stops you from supporting them? If Usher is allegedly burning people can I still listen to Confessions? The R wrote "age aint nothing but a number" but yet we all step in the name of love. These thoughts and more on this week's episode

Everyone has that friend that has mad women...Well what happens when that friend tells all with his Ex-Girl Friend on the pod. Probably the most uncomfortable and honest podcast to date. Lots of laughs even more truths.
Thanks to my guest Cedes Just Darren
Finally a sports centered topic. This week we discuss how billionaire owners have public support over millionaire players. Why Kevin Durrant still gets crap from everyone for doing what was in his best interest. Why the salaries of all of these guys even needs to be public knowledge and a whole lot more. This is part 1 of the series of sports discussions until football comes back.
Guest Mic Jay Moore
I know we are late to the game but the Rob Kardashian news gave us so much to discuss. No its not ok to leak nudes of your ex, what we really think of 4:44 and quick hits from the past week. Stay for conversation, you dont have to love the opinion but they are 100% true to self.

Still working towards my bevel sponsorship, please write to Tristan Walker on twitter! Salute
This week I had the chance to discuss how some in the gay community view us and conversely how we view them. We touch on things from how movies in the 80s portrayed the community to how shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy normalized a lot of our views and current fashion trends. I don't do hot takes or gotcha lines.
Thanks to Mikeal for the honesty and not killing me for saying something crazy.

www.therellworld.com yes i bought the domain too
Why do we care that Tiger wasn't drunk? Why is his police interaction even our business? Was Bill Maher's bad joke racist or just in poor taste? We discuss all of these issues that popped up the last week. We don't have all the answers but we have a POV. Listen up!
Guest Mic Ms. Currie
This week we discuss what issues really plague the black community. This isn't respectability politics but sometimes we are our own worst enemy. Why do we hate ourselves and call things white instead of just right.
Tune in
Guest Mic Leslie Saint-Julien www.lesliesaintjulien.com
This week we discuss Big Baller Brand. The Name gives me the vibe of And1 and an early 2000's era where mixtapes were big. Does Lavar have to be likable if Lonzo is the player his father thinks he is? Listen to the real conversation and not the representative you get from people in public.

The news is honestly more compelling than TV…Until Game of thrones or power comes back on 45(aka the Donald) is must see tv. Discussing the FBI and the latest repeal of Obamacare(newsflash we have done this before)
Guest Mic Shannon Currie
The Life and Times of Luvenia Hodges as narrated by yours truly. Life lessons that I have gained from our relationship. She was and is someone who affected everyone around her and she gets a lot of credit for the man that I have become.
RIP
This Week I wanted to tackle the growing epidemic of depression. I'm no clinical therapist but I clearly recognize that something is causing people to snap. We discuss some hard truths to hopefully help people get out of those dark places. Mental Health matters too.
This week we go back to basics. I finally gave the people what they wanted and got the pleasure of having a woman's perspective. What do men & women 30+ think of dating. We have all had situationships. Why do women still like bad boys and why are good guys still losing?

This week we discuss what Colin's lack of a job says about america. Why we think things revolve around racism and that "the man" isn't all people who aren't black. We certainly have a few hot takes on this one.
