First of a three part series where I explore impactful hip-hop groups that have never released a commercial project. If you can think of a group, chances are they will be covered in one of the three episodes. Full show notes will be posted in the next part of the series.

play

10/26/23 • 72 min

On this episode, I discuss the seven life lessons I learned while on my first solo trip ever. Not only was it my first time out of the United States, it was also my first time on an airplane. I know, super late in the game, but I highly recommend a solo trip.

In the first episode of Underground Genius in over a year, I discover that there may be an Imposter Among Us... I mean, I talk about Imposter Syndrome. Specifically, I delineate what it is, how it manifests for me, and ways that I deal with it.

The process of starting anything — whether it's a savings goal, a fitness plan, a business venture, or even a new podcast — can be a little intimidating. On today's episode, I talk about some of the things I've learned throughout the process of starting this pod, as well as Vagrant By Sunset. I also add in some bonus content from my early days of being a member of the media. And I also have my first guest... sort of.

Special shout out to producer Action Banks, whose beats are featured in today's episode. Stream "Homebody" today!

Underground Genius - Episode 7 — 7:30 in Long Island
play

01/20/21 • 22 min

“I can’t believe you did that, that shit is mad funny.”

Sorry for the delay! In this episode, I explain why this release was late (immediately breaking a resolution I set for the new year — shout out to you if you’ve kept up with your own goals).

Alcohol and poor judgment contributed to this episode, but probably not in the way that you might think.

Egyptian chamomile is the tea of the week, get you some.

If you liked the stories included in Ep. 5 featuring the homie Byron (@the.narcissus on IG), you’ll appreciate this episode much more. Skip to 8:53 to hear a gem in the archives. Go back and listen if you missed it.

Not here for a long time this week, but if you’re rocking with me then I appreciate the love.

Underground Genius - Episode 8 — The Reagan Era
play

05/17/21 • 26 min

It’s been a minute!

After a several month hiatus, UG is back with episode eight. I’ve been taking in feedback and listening back to all of the episodes, and I realized that I left off an important group from that list of notable hip-hop cliques with no album (eps 2-4 if you need to tap in). So, I think it’s fitting that I take some time to tell you all about the 80s.

Songs used for episode (in order of appearance) — “Six Feet Over,” “The Sun and the Moon,” “The Distant River,” Fly Ass Pisces,” and “Lucid.”

Definitely recommend listening to Cocaine 80s’ entire catalog for the full vibrations.

Over the last few months, I've realized that I developed an unhealthy relationship with my phone — too many distractions. On this episode, I talk about how/why I’m taking regular breaks from the internet, and the four tools that have helped me touch grass more often.

Shout out to the homie @aldali_410 for providing the new sounds. Definitely check out his music.
