Episode 321 - Blu DaGoat

After developing a rich passion for Hip-Hop early on in life, Blu DaGoat continued on with his journey as an artist expanding and diversifying his skillset along the way. He joined me on episode 321 this week to discuss it in more detail! He told me about developing his skillset in songwriting after coming from a battle rap and freestyling background. It has helped refine his sound tenfold as he crafts his upcoming album “Like, Comment, Subscribe” in which he is fully hands on in both the writing, mixing and production process. I felt inspired by his goals for continued improvement and elevation in the years to come as well and I’m sure that as a fellow Ohio based artist that we will be connecting again really soon! Shoutout to him for stopping by and I’d also like to thank Leo Laru$$o for connecting us and making this conversation possible as well!

Episode 320 - Moll’s Interlude

Early this year I initially got connected with Moll’s Interlude when she reviewed my EP with SWORDSTYLESHON titled “Make It Canon”. Since then we've stayed in touch and I was able to extend an invite to have her on the platform which we finally made happen this week for episode 320. It was refreshing to get the perspective of someone involved closely with the world of music journalism and is running her own platform by herself. She discussed the importance of persevering through setbacks and self-doubt to pursue this path and the different kinds of encouragement she’s received from others along the way. We talked about her growth on different social media platforms as well as the amount of independent artists reaching out to have their music reviewed by her over the past year. I admire Molly’s ability to embrace her passion and love for music in a way that’s unique to her while helping so many artists including myself in the process. I thank her for stopping by and can assure you of more Proven Knowledge and Mol’’s Interlude crossovers to come in the future!

Episode 319 - TINO

Continuing the newly found stretch of Ohio artist interviews I welcomed Dayton’s own TINO to the show this week! TINO is someone I’ve admired from afar for his ability to genre blend and take bold chances within his production selection and lyrical ability and I was thrilled to finally sit down for a full conversation. He touched on his journey as an artist dating back as far as 2009 and how the blog era directly influenced his love and desire to become an artist himself. We also compared that era of time in Hip-Hop and music overall to the vastly different one we all live in now where over saturation, high creative expectation and a low barrier of entry all can create roadblocks. TINO however has found ways to manage and balance through it all and he told me how creating his solo works along with his other collabs with people like @sonofhiphop and @marrrtin.dezer have allowed him to keep things fresh and exciting from a creative standpoint. With long and short term goals to travel more outside the U.S., release a lot more new music and keep innovating along the way, I’m looking forward to the bright future TINO is creating for himself and thank him once again for making this show a place to let us know more about it!

Episode 318 - Dom Deshawn

On episode 318 I had a long awaited conversation with Columbus artist Dom Deshawn who has been doing his thing for well over a decade. Even though I had only known about his music for a little over a year I was extremely excited to get to chop it up with him officially for the first time. He discussed with me the pivotal moment of quitting his full time job in 2021 to pursue music on a larger scale and the different challenges he faces in doing so. With that said however his love for the craft and following his true purpose has allowed him to embrace the ups and the downs in full stride. We also covered his most recent project with fellow Columbus producer Stale Brick titled “The Mahogany Tape” and what went into its creation as a chill and mellow offering to fans of quality Hip-Hop. This was a great example to me of following the organic connections you make with the right collaborators and embracing them at full steam to get a great end result. Dom has a ton of exciting things planned for the rest of 2026 and beyond and It will be a thrill to watch it all unfold in real time. I thank him for stopping by and await our next chance to collaborate real soon!

Episode 317 - Mariffa Da Rasta

Joining me on episode 317 is Central Texas native and New Mexico based artist Mariffa Da Rasta. Mariffa was sent to me by former guest @larussoworld a couple of months prior so it was great to finally have a true discussion with him. He described his sound and what it means to him to be able to inspire listeners through his lyrics while also using music as a platform to help provide for his family. Having established a good home base in New Mexico he also has been busy utilizing studio time to help craft new music. This includes his most recent EP “Chronicles Of Mariffa” as well as his forthcoming project “Depression Is Expensive” that’s set to release in the coming months. When speaking about the projects theme, he revealed that it will be a much deeper dive into his personal life and overcoming hardships along with many of the lessons he’s learned along the way. As someone who loves the art of story telling and honesty in music I am looking forward to the first listen. I also want to thank Mariffa for joining me and once again to Leo for getting us connected!

Episode 316 - B1 The Architect

B1 The Architect is someone who’s name has continued to show up across my timeline many times since the top of the year and as a fan of what I had heard I decided to get in touch with him about joining the show. We were able to make it happen this week on episode 316 as B1 told me about his moniker choice, his multifaceted approach being both an artist and a producer / engineer, and what it means to have the kind of output he’s been able to maintain while staying fully independent. Most recently he released collab albums with the likes of Flashbang Jimmy and a mutual connection Young Reese Dude, both of which have already received wide acclaim and he described not only the ways these two specific projects came to be, but also how collaborations help him to diversify his sound and audience in a positive way. Just from being a fan of the music itself it was awesome to get to know more about the man behind the bars and beats. I look forward to working more with him very soon and await a plethora of new material coming from his way on top of that!

Episode 315 - I AM BIG FIT

South Carolina’s own I Am Big Fit has had a long standing run in Hip-Hop and following a brief hiatus before 2020, he’s back in full force with consistent releases and push for his music. He joined me this week to discuss what the journey has taught him including the ways he has seen a maturation within the topics he writes about in recent years. I loved hearing about the inspiration behind his latest single “Slow Up” and how it serves as both a fun anthem and an ode to southern influences, both of which are very present in it sound and style. We touched on his upcoming 90’s inspired mixtape and his forthcoming album that will both showcase his distinct level of versatility in raps and sound selection. I think I left this episode with a sense of wisdom from someone who has learned a lot from their life and has applied it not only in his art form, but actively through giving back to his loved ones along the way as well. Thanks again to I AM BIG FIT for stopping by and to Dom for the connection!

Episode 314 - Dia Malai

Hailing from Queens, New York with new roots in Raleigh, North Carolina, Dia Malai has always been able to re-direct her journey in the necessary ways to see growth for herself. This week she joined me on episode 314 to discuss it along with her recent release, the 8 track project titled “The Loop”. She told me how the goal to inspire listeners through her own experiences helped fuel not only this project but has also helped convince her to release some other music that’s currently in the stash very soon. I loved her messages on living for yourself, practicing patience and surrounding yourself with the right people, all of which has helped her to see abundance in every aspect. Shoutout to Dom for getting up acclimated and I thank Dia for sharing such a large amount of gems for you all this week!
