We spar over sneakers, New York style rules, and global fashion before diving into a charged question: is Jim Jones more relevant today than Nas. The talk widens into tone, singles, and authenticity, then gets human—childhood trauma, chemo, heartbreak, discipline, AI, and immigrant grit. • sneaker trends across generations and the “dad shoe” label • New York fashion codes vs global style in Japan and Korea • relevance vs greatness in hip-hop and the Hit-Boy run • why drill can clash with age and lived truth • rappers who “rap about rapping” and the need for haymakers • a Queens childhood memory that rewired fear and trust • unlearning the hard work myth in favor of smart leverage • trade school, finance, cybersecurity, and healthcare paths • AI as a genie and prompt engineering for creators • social media algorithms, virality tactics, and boundaries • isolation, mental health on NYC trains, attention fasting • chemo, heartbreak, and conquering impulse with discipline • Mansaa Musa, economics of power, and cultural curiosity • immigrant work ethic, family, and planting seeds Please like, subscribe, follow, comment, let us know what is going on in your life Socials: - @aamiraug - @solefulmike -@enytheartist
