Dope Beats & Ink Cheats

(un)Officially renaming this pod:

2 WRITERS SPITTIN DRAGON FIRE

From the dopest intro beats (w/@HilliardGuess in a close 2nd 🙌🏻) to the realest talks. Every ep is a masterclass, esp this one feat lit manager #AudreyKnox from @CartelEntMgt. Mad love to y’all @TroubleJones @Balance510 @KalaGuess

Dropped this review again here to spread the love! Appreciate y’all!

Real Talk

As a standup comedian this is what I needed.
People say “just keep writing” but they don’t break down the game for you. They don’t tell you about structure, what to read and watch to learn more, where to apply.. this podcast is the whole game broken down in a funny, engaging and easy to comprehend way

Great Start

Such a great perspective on an industry and profession that is so esoteric. The guests are amazing and the conversation is valuable. I’m hoping at some point they’ll fix some of the kinks, like the guy takes up a lot of airtime talking about himself and gassing up the guests and the gal is sarcastic and speaks with an affect that sounds like she’s creating a character so when she speaks I’m unsure if she’s authentic or not. I’m hoping also that they share more info at the top so people like me who aren’t in LA are able to follow along. But all that aside, it has the bones of a good show.
