Known colloquially as “bubbleheads,†South Africa’s sneakerheads are in a league of their own. Here we talk to some of the scene’s most influential insiders to learn about life in one of the country’s poorest communities and how locals live their life with dignity and with the freshest kicks.

Amanda Seales Speaks On Her Standup Special “I Be Knowin” And Real-Life Stories Behind Her Comedy (Video)
It seems like Amanda keeps leveling up every time she comes back to chat with the Breakfast Club. And Charlamange put her on again. I remember her saying C Tha God was the one that pushed her into podcasting some time ago. And now, in this sit-down, she says he gave a good word that ultimately led to her success on HBO. Just goes to show how your network can help boost your net worth.
Amanda Seales stopped by to talk about her first stand up special, I Be Knowin, and the impact of social media on society. Plus, Seales makes it clear that R. Kelly jokes should be off-limits to comedians.

The “Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men” Documentary Comes To Showtime This Spring (Trailer)
ShoDocs is a good look for the Wu. A mini-series telling of a story all the heads want to hear – on the history of one of Hip-Hop’s most influential crews ever.
Showtime Documentary Films dives deeper into the music documentary space with Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men, a four-part limited docuseries from filmmaker Sacha Jenkins (BURN MOTHERF*CKER, BURN!) that transcends the music documentary genre by creating a new lane that merges music, socio-cultural commentary and intimate family portrait.
A Toast To Fat Joe… Celebrating Being Self-Made (Video)
Growing up in the Mecca of Hip-Hop, The Bronx… playing games, getting into the drug game, getting out of that and into the Hip-Hop game (interesting reason, watch). Great sit-down with Joe.
Fat Joe speaks to Luc Belaire CEO Brett Berish about going broke, mismanaging money, the importance of mentorship, and all the lessons he tried to impart on Tekashi 6ix9ine.

What Is The Real Definition of Freestyle (Video)
Interesting. Freestyle vs. off-the-top rhyming. Check out this revisitation of an MTV-televised discussion about historical misunderstandings and their perspectives on what freestyle is for real. Along with perspectives on freestyling in-the-streets vs in-the-industry from today (from Papoose).
The term “Freestyle” is an integral part of Hip-Hop. But what does it mean? This piece delves into the evolution of one of Hip-Hop’s most common, yet most misunderstood terms.

Nipsey Hussle Speaks On His ‘Side Hustle’ (Video)
Nipsey is the hustle! All sides. But that’s what we are here for; learning about the ‘Side Hustle’ of Neighborhood Nip. And we’re here for everything the homie has to share/teach.
Considering his name, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Nipsey Hussle is always on the grind. Raised in the streets of Crenshaw, Los Angeles, the independent rapper has quickly built his own empire to last: In addition to his All Money In record label, Marathon Clothing line and retail store, Nipsey has invested in the business incubator, Vector.90, as a way to connect with next-gen geniuses. In the West Coast edition of Side Hustle, Hussle breaks down his money moves, a major business loss that turned into a lesson and why he’ll never stop betting on himself.

Crank Lucas – “Record Label Beef” (2019) [Video]
Look. If the label head has beef with them, and you are an artist on the label, then YOU got beef with them… and you BETTER spit fire at who or whatever whenever the head honcho says so! So maybe really consider staying/supporting Indie.
(Meanwhile, we should all stay supporting this fool Crank Lucas! Ha!)

I have BEEN wishing 4-IZE would touch that “Livin Proof” beat from Group Home. Preemo production with a dope azz emcee on it? C’monnnn, sonnn! I haven’t heard or seen anything this dope since when my brother BoneBreaker Jones blessed it.
