Now that the dust has settled between Drake and Kendrick, I wrote about Top Dawg Entertainment in year 20 without their former franchise player, and what the independent rap label’s future could look like. Tap in!
🗣 MAJOR BAG ALERT: I recently accepted an offer for the role of production assistant
@ringer
! I’m proud of the work I’ve done these past few months as an intern, and I’m looking forward to what opportunities the future brings with
@Spotify
.
I’m happy to announce that this summer I will be interning on the
@ringerpodcasts
audio team! The Ringer has been my favorite website since 2016, so I’m excited to learn from the best podcast producers in the world. Thank you
@NABJ
,
@Spotify
, and
@ringer
for the opportunity.
One time I was at the barbershop, there was a HEATED debate on whether or not gravity, yes GRAVITY nigga, was just a social construct. Me, being on team GRAVITY IS OBVIOUSLY FUCKING REAL asked the barber next to me to jump and explain what forced him back down. His response…
went to my first LA barbershop. the conspiracy theory of the day is that china is building an army of “mixed bad bitches” in jamaica
(yes, the haircut was fire)
Today is the last day of Ringer Union bargaining. We demand a fair contract to address our unit’s concerns. I love the work I do and would love to continue doing it…without the struggle to make ends meet with every pay check and the fear of a robot replacing me.
Streets saying tomorrow is the last episode of NO SKIPS with
@brandonjinx
and
@SheaSerrano
, so it feels like the perfect time to feed my ego by ranking the top 10 Cold Open skits I created for the show. Shoutout
@brianhwaters

“That don’t mean shit bruh!” and my barber followed up with equation for the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2). Barber next to us goes “STOP BEING SHEEP! Take that bullshit elsewhere” and at that moment I learned that 9th grade physics don’t mean shit in the court of barbers
I proceeded to not speak another word. Got my bald fade and lineup. Dapped my barber up and tipped him a little extra simply off the principle that this nigga wasn’t a flat Earther like half the barbers in there. I ain’t said a word in these barbershop court debates ever since.
It’s allegedly the last episode of NO SKIPS with
@brandonjinx
and
@SheaSerrano
, and we’re celebrating my favorite album ever, Frank Ocean’s Blonde! I somehow convinced my momma and my cousin

Dog on Tuesday I asked our No Skips group chat for their mailing addresses so I can send them something.
Shea tells Kerm to “prepare for me to send you 20 copies of Paul Blart Mall Cop.”
Bro. I come back to the chat today and see this
the kendrick diss is funny, but him and drake shoulda handled this shit five years ago. they sounding real washed and haggard. just huffing and puffing all over these terrible ass beats

Producers take ownership over your shows. The revolution is now. I spend too much time in Protools not to have my face associated with the product 🤷🏾♂️

This week I got to help edit my first podcast on the Ringer network. I used to watch Larry Wilmore on the Nightly Show every day in high school so that made this even more special for me. I’m glad I could have a part in producing a needed conversation

“Cups of the OJ, ex girl on my flip phone”
7th grade heartache and a Weeknd impression (so good that I would like to be referred to as the Weekdy from here on out) are what I brought to the table in our NO SKIPS Vol. 1 finale on Drake’s

I was on a zoom call with Charles Barkley once and within the first 30 seconds of being on the call, dude called me ugly and sensitive. No “hello” or “how are you,” nothing. I still haven’t recovered from this moment.

celebrating A Tribe Called Quest’s The Low End Theory! On top of all the praise for Tribe, we snuck in Pharrell, Funkadelic, and…Limp Bizkit song clips. You know we had to give Busta Rhymes his flowers too.
So I’m on a road trip with my momma, auntie and cousins in the same car and my momma asked me to play the Kendrick album. We got to “We Cry Together” and got like 40 seconds in before my mom and aunt was like “Aht Aht…turn that off” 😂 Lasted longer than I expected honestly
