    Season 7 Episode 185: “You Can’t Be Serious…”

    In this fiery episode of Get To Know Me Podcast, Bizzy Balboa is not holding back. Episode 185 kicks off with a passionate call-out to Timbaland for exploiting up-and-coming artists through paid Instagram Live reviews, only to pivot into launching an AI record label featuring a digital artist. Bizzy dives deep into the hypocrisy and the dangerous line being crossed in the music industry. Next up, she gives her honest take on Tha Carter VI by Lil Wayne — the bars, the beats, the growth (or lack thereof). Is it a classic or just a cash grab? You’ll get her unfiltered rating. Then it's lights, camera, pressure as Bizzy unpacks Tyler Perry’s new film Straw starring Taraji P. Henson, Teyana Taylor, and others. She shares her thoughts on the performances, storytelling, and whether or not it’s a win for the culture. Rounding out the episode, Bizzy shifts gears and gets real about the escalating attacks on immigrants in America. She stresses the urgency of solidarity, unity, and the power of community in a time of division and distraction. This episode is raw, bold, and full of perspective. Tap in and stay woke. {Get To Know Me Podcast - Topics around music, community, history, finances, and more. Every Saturday!

    Season 7 Episode 184: Be Careful What You Ask For

    Bizzy Balboa is back and poppin off Season 7 of the Get To Know Me Podcast with a bold new twist. Episode 184 marks a shift in the way Bizzy is showing up behind the mic — blending her signature real talk on music, art, healing, and life lessons with her unfiltered takes on what’s going on in the world. In this episode, Bizzy breaks away from the usual interview-heavy format to tap into something deeper and more personal: opinion, perspective, and purpose. She kicks things off with a candid reflection on celebrity culture, using the public breakups of Remy Ma & Papoose and Cardi B & Offset as case studies to remind listeners: celebrities are not gods. Bizzy challenges the idolization of public figures and calls for people to stop putting fame on a pedestal. Also in the mix: a viral clip of rapper BigXthaPlug getting pressed for a photo while gambling sparks a bigger convo — does fame mean forfeiting privacy? Bizzy says no. Just because someone has a spotlight doesn’t mean they owe constant access. The main message of today’s episode? “Be Careful What You Ask For.”Bizzy gets deep on how blessings don’t always come gift-wrapped. Sometimes they show up looking like sacrifice, loss, or hard lessons. She opens up about her own spiritual growth — how she used to think setbacks were punishments, but now sees them as setups for something greater. Whether you're here for the gems, the perspective, or just to vibe with Bizzy’s voice — this episode is the start of a new era.🎙️ Less interviews. More insight. Still 100% Bizzy. {Get To Know Me Podcast - Topics around music, community, history, finances, and more. Every Saturday!
