Round table discussion on this episode. We get into a more deeper dive into the Jay Electronica three pack that we got a few weeks back. I’m joined this episode by Cordell, Vinny, Dula, and Reef hustle for the first time on the podcast. It’s always good Having emcees On here to talk about albums. We discuss the quirkiness and uniqueness of Jay electrónica albums Style and songs structure. Great hip-hop conversation.
You never know where the podcast is going to take you. This episode started off light then turned into a full On explanation of Muslim faith. BP myself in Dula started off talking about the new Jay Electronica EP’s.
And then it turned into an almost our long conversation about the difference between the NOI and the Ahki Muslims in Philly. Very informative episode if you were always curious about the different factions of the Muslim faith.
It doesn’t get any more positive than tonight’s episode. Dula and myself interviewed a gentleman we met online who reports all of the good in the world as opposed to the usual bullshit. Ladies, and gentlemen, I introduce to you to Passportlouis. From his early upbringing in Peoria Illinois to traveling the globe We discussed it all. From Celebrities Dm’ing praising him for “pumping the positivity” to his hip-hop ear growing up in the Midwest. We also talk about his music career and his clothing line. Great positive episode. Enjoy.
Thank you everybody for subscribing, commenting and sharing these episodes. I’m joined by Cordell and Dula to have our debate of discography. Cordell brought up the question: Who has a better three run album? Outkast or Kanye West? We went to production, quality of albums, and then get into entire discography of both artists. Great hip-hop conversation. Enjoy.
In this episode, I am joined by Vinny in the beginning as we review magazine dreams.(SPOILERS KIND OF). As soon as we wrapped that up, Bruce jumps on and we discuss the recent situation at Hersheypark as well as the component situation that happened on Labor Day. We then get into the pros and cons of growing up in the Harrisburg, school district and myself, Vinny and Bruce give our own pros and cons. Hilarious ending to that story. Enjoy.
Did something different this podcast. Dula decided to be the interviewer this time. He interviews me and gets my origin story to upbringing in Lynn, Massachusetts to the transition to moving to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. As well as a funny story of when we first met and how he and I started hanging out in early 2000 and have been Running around ever since. If you would like to get to know me or how I came up. This is the episode for you. Enjoy.
On this episode billboard has found yet another way to ruffle up some feathers with their list. I’m joined by Dula and his cousin Anthony from the Bronx so we have a nice debate on this list. We go over the criteria as well as who should and should not be on here. We also have a conversation on what is considered a group. Is it one rapper one DJ or is it two rappers and one DJ. A hilarious conversation. Enjoy!
This episode was a long time in the making. This gentleman prefers to keep a low profile and doesn't like being in front of cameras, let alone microphones. But with persistence, we have the man of the hour, Chadd Scott. If you were in Harrisburg last weekend and saw Musiq Soulchild, you saw what he's capable of planning. Chadd sat down with Dula and myself, and we discussed everything from how he became a producer and got engulfed in hip-hop to his jail time, getting focused, and coming out to hit the ground running with comedy shows, white parties, and more. We also journeyed into how he ran Midtown Soul, which was a staple in Harrisburg's music scene, right alongside The Music Man. Then, we discuss one of his biggest ventures: creating The District. It's an amazing and inspirational story from one of Harrisburg's best promoters. Enjoy!
If you haven’t seen fantastic. Four and superman, you can skip this episode. But if you have, or had some questions about some of the heroes villains, etc., this is your episode. Vinny and Bruce, who are comic book aficionados answered all of my surface level movie questions being that I am novice when it comes to the full story of fantastic four & Superman. Most of today’s episode is answering questions. Like how powerful is Franklin, Mr. fantastics Stretching. Ability. Pause. Superman and what’s in store for the DC universe. Then we get into a quick talk about Alfredo 2 and why Bruce is turning into B Dolores Tucker. Enjoy.
Consistency is key. Hope everybody is enjoying the episodes. In this episode, which was recorded prior to my Florida trip, Dula came over the house, and we discussed a variety of topics. We started it off fresh, listening to the Clips album that had just came out. We’ve been touched On, the baby and Danny Lee situation. Even though it’s Old, but we also touched on Cassie and titty situation with a little update. We’ve been talk about bad. Bunnies Puerto Rico concert that hadn’t happened yet which then let into a conversation about immigration, and basically human decency. Dula was late to the party watching center. So he had more inside on all of the symbolic historical pieces within the movie. We’ve been get to talk about concerts, and why Dula hates them so much, which led to a Beyoncé conversation. We ended off with questioning is Will Smith’s career as a superstar over at this point. Great conversation. Enjoy.
WHAT A NIGHT!!! In this episode, Vinny and I are literally in the car at Wachovia center in Philly right after the Tyler The Creator CHROMAKOPIA concert. Adrenaline was high and we gave an immediate review while driving back from Philly. Everything was still fresh in our minds so we had a lot to go over. Quick 45 minutes you can literally hear us in the car and me driving without my seatbelt on. Enjoy.

This episode we start off with Abdullah and myself talking about the latest updates in the Diddy trial. At the time of this recording a verdict hasn’t been read yet, so if it comes down by the time, this releases that portion of this conversation won’t matter. We are then joined by what will soon to be the “tripping without the luggage podcast“ host, which is Kevy Kev and EDWARD GLOVER. We discuss a couple of different topics and bound a couple of creative ideas off of each other. Lots of tangents in between. Pardon a little bit of the technical difficulty during a portion of the call because of connection. But overall the good episode. Enjoy.

And how I taught him how to make beats in the beginning and how he took that and carried it over into his DJ and career, etc. We’ve vented into conversations about fatherhood since both of us only have one child,we talk do’s and don’ts of fatherhood.

After a bit of a hiatus due to real life situations, I am bringing you a throwback episode. This was recorded around March 16,2020 and you’ll be able to tell by which verzuz battle I’m talking about. But after that high had a nice adult conversation with a BBW Instagrammodel. I wouldn’t call her an influencer because she doesn’t do the sponsorships and all that but she does have followers for her hiney. Lol. @foxxie_tee70 at that time had about 43k give or take followers. And I pick her brain on the insane DM‘s that she gets and we have a conversation on dick pic etiquette and the crazy things guys say in DM‘s. Very playful lost episode. Enjoy. Also new episodes soon to come. Thank you to EVERYONE who has been listening thus far. Hope you all have a nice rest over this holiday.

LL cool J. We have an impromptu versus battle between the two and the outcome didn’t go exactly in the way you would think. Of course there’s probably some East Coast biased and some Bronx bias being that three out of the five people in this debate are from the Bronx, but overall it was a good and hilarious debate. We were also joined by fellow Lynn Massachusetts producer, sneakerhead, and father @Explizit_1. Great hip-hop conversations with people who have love for the culture. Enjoy.

Entrepreneur, father, hustler, real estate flipper, reseller you name it, he pretty much does it all without ever having an actual 9 to 5 job ever in his life. I consider him one of my OG’s. And he’s always free to give up knowledge and drop jewels hence this episode. I called it the hustle man episode because as you can see he always finds a way to make money. Over the years he’s always managed to have multiple streams of income. He posted something on Facebook which prompted the call. Enjoy the Conrad Lewis a.k.a. the music man a.k.a. @dealbully on Instagram on episode 4 of the Don’t overthink it podcast. I hope this motivates you to hustle harder.

In the words of Chris Morrow: "If you're thinking of starting a podcast, don't overthink it just do it". With that said, In the debut episode of the Don't over think it podcast I get an update on how the quarantine is affecting people in California, Florida, and Pa. Also what started as a check in call turns into a 45 minutes of different topics from life, hip-hop, and growing up on different coasts with my guy @soundmathematics out in Cali. First time actually speaking into a mic "pause" so bare with me.
