The M.A.K Podcast

M.A.K

This is a continuation of the How R.u.d.e! Podcast. Follow this underground underdog of an artist’s journey to success. Follow the growth, progression, the trails and tribulations of a disenfranchised entertainer alongside with his friends and contemporaries.  The MAK Podcast — Too real for the faint-hearted, too funny for the boring. Welcome to The MAK Podcast, the audio equivalent of kicking down the door to a late-night hangout where nobody pretends to behave. It’s music, madness, and mouthy opinions — all thrown into one glorious, unfiltered chaos. Expect Hip-Hop/Rap, R&B, and Alternative tracks that slap, paired with conversations that definitely weren’t cleared by any legal department. We’re talking social and political commentary with a side of sarcasm, sports debates so heated you’ll think someone owes someone money, and life philosophy that might actually fix you… or break you. Either way, you’ll laugh. Probably too hard. For listeners 21–55 who are tired of polished nonsense, The MAK Podcast is your sanctuary of reckless honesty, questionable wisdom, and jokes that will absolutely get someone in trouble. It’s wild. It’s messy. It’s for entertainment purposes only — seriously, don’t quote us at work.

    Peter Pan Has To Grow Up

    Send us Fan Mail This episode opens on a different note as Asaad & Kemistree take a moment to be transparent and vulnerable.

They also dive into new music as Asaad reviews Benny The Butcher’s latest project, The Plugs I’ve Met 2.5.

The conversation continues with their thoughts on this year’s BET Awards and what stood out—for better or worse. Keeping the music flowing, Asaad introduces a record from Earthsignchels before the fan-favorite “Verse Verses” segment returns, where two legendary rap verses go head-to-head in a lyrical showdown. After the music break, the conversation shifts to reality TV as the hosts discuss Love Island and the internet’s latest obsession, KC & Aniya, sharing their perspectives on the relationship that has everyone talking.

    Poorly Ran Franchises

    Send us Fan Mail This week, Kemistree and Asaad the Artiz kick things off with a conversation many people can relate to: asking for help. Why do so many of us struggle with it? Is it pride, embarrassment, fear of judgment, or something deeper? Then it’s time for what might be the most entertaining segment on the podcast as Asaad returns with another unforgettable tale from the chronicles of Delusional Debbie. Trust us—this is a CANT MISS story that had us questioning reality itself. The duo also takes a moment to send condolences following the passing of Tay Keith and discuss the pressures that come with life in the entertainment industry. They also reflect on the passing of Clive Davis and examine the more complicated aspects of his legacy. Will public opinion shift once the documentary is released? Later, the two jump into another edition of Verse Verses before taking a quick music break. Coming back, things get a little wild as they debate whether they would ever attend a sex resort. That conversation naturally leads into a discussion about porn addiction following Terry Crews’ public comments about his own struggles. The conversation expands into addiction, accountability, and somehow ends up with the question: would either of them become porn stars? To close out the show, the two dives into fan-favorite segments “Would You Rather?”, “Delusional or Deserving?”, and introduces a brand-new segment, “Cancel One Forever.” All that and much more on another hilarious, thought-provoking, and unfiltered episode.

    Big Bodied Bullies

    Send us Fan Mail This week on The MAK Podcast, Asaad the Artiz and Kemistree kick things off with an unexpected twist—the host finds himself on the receiving end of someone else’s delusion. That’s definitely a first. From there, the dynamic duo shows major love to the New York Knicks after capturing their second NBA Championship and ending a 53-year title drought. The celebration naturally leads into more NBA talk and basketball debates. The conversation then shifts to music, where some bold takes spark another edition of Verse Verses—a fan-favorite segment where the fellas put legendary rap verses head-to-head, comparing bars from different artists and songs to determine which verse truly reigns supreme. After a music break, the hosts tackle the latest controversy surrounding “Dr.” Cheyenne Bryant and the questions surrounding her credentials. The discussion expands into a larger conversation about society’s tendency to accept information at face value while ignoring the importance of proper vetting and accountability. The mood takes a serious turn as Asaad and Kemistree discuss the recent verdict in the Karmelo Anthony trial. The case prompts a deeper examination of the American justice system and raises a difficult question: When will the Black community fully acknowledge that justice and the legal system are not always the same thing? The episode wraps up with the always-entertaining Would You Rather? and Delusional or Deserving? segments before the crew sends love to the listeners. Be sure to like, follow, share, and join the conversation. Follow:  @thamakpodcast  @rudemusicent

    Mids & Mudducks

    Send us Fan Mail This week, Asaad the Artiz and Kemistree kick things off by revisiting listener feedback from a previous episode before diving headfirst into a wide-ranging conversation that only The MAK Podcast can deliver. Before getting into music, the duo take a detour into vasectomies, male birth control, and the realities of reproductive responsibility from a man’s perspective. From there, they break down Jay-Z’s freestyle at The Roots Picnic and ask a controversial question: Is Jay-Z out of touch? That conversation opens the door to even bigger debates about gatekeeping in hip-hop, whether gatekeeping is necessary, and which rappers would completely fall off if social media disappeared tomorrow. The crew also debates Jay-Z’s Top 5 songs and Asaad shares his frustration with rap fans only wanting lyrical breakdowns when there’s beef involved. After the music break, the conversation shifts to the leaked Diddy/Daphne Joy sextape and the culture surrounding celebrity scandals. Why are people so entertained by celebrity downfalls? Why do we elevate celebrities into mythical figures instead of appreciating them as talented humans? The discussion gets deep, uncomfortable, and thought-provoking. Later, Kemistree puts Asaad in the hot seat with a series of tough questions that spark some hilarious and unexpected answers. The episode wraps up with a round of “Would You Rather?” and a “We Listen and We Don’t Judge” segment that brings plenty of laughs and confessions. All that and much more in another unpredictable episode of The MAK Podcast.

    Toxic Lovers, Lustful Losers & Raw Dog Warriors

    Send us Fan Mail This episode kicks off with pure chaos as Asaad the Artiz admits he’s fallen right back into his toxic ways. What starts as a hilarious confession turns into a full toxic trait reveal session, with both hosts exposing the habits, mindsets, and behaviors they know are red flags. But instead of pretending toxicity is always hated, the conversation flips the narrative and asks the real question: why do people secretly LOVE toxic energy? The intensity, unpredictability, emotional highs, and raw honesty become the center of the debate. Things get even wilder when the hosts enter a no-filter discussion about intimacy and whether there’s actually a deeper emotional connection between “cracking raw” versus using protection. Is it psychological? Emotional? Or are people just attaching meaning where there isn’t any? The debate gets uncomfortable, hilarious, and brutally honest all at once. On the music side, the podcast questions why rap feels unusually quiet right now. Where are the moments? The albums? The energy? The hosts unpack whether the genre is in a creative lull or if audiences are just disconnected from what’s dropping. After a quick intermission, the episode pivots into trending culture conversations — including the news surrounding Stefon Diggs being found not guilty in assault and strangulation allegations, leading into a hilarious but serious debate: “Can chefs with BBLs actually be trusted?” The second half dives into what the hosts call the “lustful losers epidemic,” reframing it from simple horniness into a bigger conversation about discipline, self-control, intentional desire, and modern dating habits. From there, they react to Ray J claiming to have slept with over 12,000 women and break down Blueface’s latest controversial takes surrounding “paternal permission,” relationships, and accountability. Toxicity, lust, music, relationships, culture wars, and complete unfiltered madness — this episode covers ALL of it.
