    Ascension: Mike Wiald vs Danny Myers, plus LOCA on Getting Sober

    The fullest room the show has had — seven voices, and it moves through three distinct halves. First the card. Trewth on how the Neighborhood Kids video blew up and turned into a tour, then Red Shirt Mike arrives to break down Set the Bar's Ascension event: why the battlers aren't trash talking this time, the undercard, the rookie class, and what the league needs to get from 80 people in a room to 200. Mike Wiald talks facing Danny Myers in his first Canadian battle — a year off, the Ellipsis battle behind him, and what it means to be the face of a league. His message for Danny is twenty seconds and worth the whole segment. Then LOCA returns, and the episode changes register completely. Raising a teenager, caregiving, 'Low Again' and the song she wrote coming down. Sobriety, step work, writing down resentments. Learning to sing after a mother who told her she couldn't. It is the most open anyone has been on this show. Tiago Vasquez closes it — the DJ Slink single, the EP with Evan Smith, playing bass, starting his own business, sobriety and mindset, parenting teenagers, and wanting to make a Spanish and dancehall record.

    Kavawon & Tobin: Battle Rap, Cameras, and Using AI Without Wrecking It

    The guests cancelled, so Kavawon starts solo and turns it into the most personal opening the show has done — how he preps, the ten-year gap in the Chasing Destiny trilogy, starting young, the vices, and the album versions that got shelved. The FOMO that cost him a record. Tobin joins at 15:05: Set the Bar battler, cameraman, and the person who shoots and edits the whole event. Longboard videos to film school to freelance, discovering battle rap at 15, and filling in for a dropout. The stretch on Dizaster vs Canibus — and what that collapse cost Canibus — is the best thing in the episode; Kavawon's read on it is that the man was never the same again. From there it is craft. How acting training helps performance and memory, why non-fans need the beat, what shooting a full battle event actually involves, and how every shot keeps getting shorter. Then a genuinely level-headed conversation about using AI as a tool without wrecking your brand — testing beats with Suno, hearing another voice on your own work — that avoids both the hype and the panic. Recorded at B-Side Radio, Vancouver BC. 0:00 Technical difficulties and solo start 2:43 How Kavawon preps the show 4:51 Chasing Destiny: a 10-year gap 5:56 Starting young; shelved albums 9:30 The Destiny series and 'No Cap' 13:25 K-Ski's 'From Barcelona With Love' 15:05 Tobin joins: battler and cameraman 16:53 Longboard videos to freelance film 18:45 Discovering battle rap at 15 20:01 Formative battles: Dizaster, Rone 22:25 How acting training helps battling 24:44 The Canibus collapse 27:48 KOTD peaks: Pat Stay, Daylyt 29:16 The Vancouver scene and Icon 32:21 Callouts: A.A.

    Mike Wiald & Red Shirt Mike: Writing, Burnout, and the Draft

    Three conversations in one, and the first is the one people will send to each other. Kavawon opens on creative burnout — the funk after a big push, peaks and valleys, giving yourself grace, and the argument that anxiety is trapped energy that needs somewhere to go. Procrastination, self-worth, notification overload, and 'Eat the Frog'. K-Ski turns up with a broken hand from a slip outside the Falafel Spot and does the show anyway. Mike Wiald takes the middle. 'I Feel Nothing' — two sides of addiction — plus how writing a battle round differs from writing a song, competition versus therapy, thirty-two bars with no editing at eight bars a day, and why he now stacks singles rather than forcing an album. Then Red Shirt Mike, for the longest and most argumentative stretch the show has run. Why an Icon vs Set The Bar card will not happen, why cypher shows do not pay, and a real defence of battle rap against its reputation — media literacy, camaraderie inside competition, and what Jay-Z gets wrong calling it negative. It widens into Kendrick vs Drake, the UMG distraction theory, Occam's razor as an antidote to conspiracy thinking, and self-censorship versus the 'woke mob'. It closes on the draft, Vancity Eras, and the question underneath running any scene: if I got hit by a bus, does Set The Bar survive? Recorded at B-Side Radio, Vancouver BC. 0:00 Kavawon's creative funk after burnout 1:58 Humble the Poet: you need fun too 5:52 Peaks, valleys and giving grace 6:58 Anxiety as trapped energy 9:14 Procrastination and self-worth 10:38 Notifications and negative self-talk 14:14 Turning knowledge into a course 15:01 'Eat the Frog': hard task first 17:13 K-Ski's broken hand 19:41 650 emails after two weeks off 20:47 Handing the mic to Mike Wiald 22:39 Mike Wiald: 'I Feel Nothing' 24:17 Love Force gallery and merch 26:27 Engineer chemistry: Coach K vs Eugene 30:09 Battle rounds vs writing songs 33:29 32 bars, no editing 36:28 Sitting on a beat, writing diagonally 38:52 Stacking singles, not forcing an album 41:40 Vancouver battle highlights 43:27 Stepping back to build the platform 44:40 Merch: Team Wild and Bib World Order 47:27 'I Feel Nothing': two sides 49:11 Song: 'I Feel Nothing' 50:41 Naming the project; the Cobalt show 54:36 Red Shirt Mike: come to a battle 56:17 Why Icon vs Set The Bar won't happen 58:48 Why cypher shows don't pay 1:02:39 Limited energy, needing organizers 1:05:00 Why he rarely battles at home 1:07:36 Battle rap's reputation and literacy 1:11:05 Jay-Z calling battle rap negative 1:12:48 Kendrick vs Drake and the UMG theory 1:18:25 Occam's razor for conspiracies 1:21:24 Self-censorship vs the 'woke mob' 1:24:12 Call Up Season 10: Mike vs Aaron 1:27:22 Shine 9, Shiva, Eclipse and Drolene 1:30:59 Bringing back Rivals 1:32:29 The draft and a coaching season 1:39:22 Why Vancity Eras 3 keeps falling apart 1:41:46 A year-long draft season idea 1:44:56 Turning down 85% of ideas 1:46:22 Booking months ahead 1:50:14 Why BC's pipeline outlasted Alberta 1:53:04 If I got hit by a bus 1:55:29 April 11 at the Turf, and outro

    Hogan's Alley: The Black Vancouver History Nobody Taught You

    A Black History Month episode that turns into the best history lesson this show has recorded. K-Ski and Kavawon host Aisha and Miselta of the Hogan's Alley Society — the organisation working to rebuild Vancouver's displaced Black neighbourhood. Aisha went from UBC marketing student to Hogan's Alley staffer and explains what it is like to ask "where are the Black people?" in this city. Miselta came through kinesiology and sport into community engagement. Together they lay out the whole arc: the Memorial Project, the working group, the viaducts that went through the neighbourhood and who pays when they finally come down, the garden, Nora Hendrix Place, and the 100+ social housing units planned for Main and Union — designed, they say, like a baobab tree. The history runs wider than most listeners will expect: hip-hop as a griot tradition, the Cross Bronx Expressway running the same playbook in New York, Black soldiers who defended Victoria, and Salt Spring Island. And it lands on something practical — the Community Land Trust, a Black cultural centre, the Blackathon, and what listeners can actually do. Jimi Hendrix's grandmother lived here. Apache was recorded here. Most people in Vancouver do not know either. Recorded at B-Side Radio, Vancouver BC. 0:00 Back from UBC: radio and cyphers 1:10 2026 plans and a different year 2:09 Dip Clothing: 25 years in Vancouver 3:57 Copping gear on Delancey Street 4:42 Hip-hop as a griot tradition 5:46 Mas B on drums and shared ancestry 7:46 Introducing Hogan's Alley Society 9:18 Meet Aisha: betting on yourself 10:59 UBC student to Hogan's Alley staff 13:51 Unfiltered truth for the youth 15:54 Memorial Project to Hogan's Alley 18:28 Cross Bronx Expressway, same playbook 20:06 FIFA 2026 and the Downtown Eastside 20:53 Black history on Vancouver Island 24:43 Oral history and why isolation hits 29:07 The viaducts: who pays, and when 30:58 The garden and Nora Hendrix Place 32:57 Main and Union: 100+ housing units 36:46 Miselta on community engagement 39:14 Sports and the team concept 41:37 Five-year vision: the Land Trust 43:50 A Black cultural centre 48:54 The Resurgence Planting and Party 52:15 The co-share collective 55:08 BC Black history in schools 59:14 Upcoming: the Cultch and Blackathon 1:02:24 bside radio's 2026 expansion 1:04:04 The Nora Hendrix house events 1:10:22 Juneteenth with the longshoremen 1:14:16 Aisha's hopes and how to help 1:19:03 Divide and conquer vs the table 1:22:01 Blackathon: Black youth and AI 1:23:54 World Cup and the African diaspora 1:29:29 The Vancouver hip-hop docuseries 1:33:23 Nardwuar stories and reconnecting 1:35:38 Community archives and closing

    Ten Years of Spotify, ODB Backwards, and Finding 1,000 Real Fans

    K-Ski and Kavawon close out 2025 by taking stock — of the year, the scene, and what being an independent artist is going to mean next. It opens loose: fantasy football misery, load management and fans paying to watch stars sit, Ronnie Lott's finger, the Herschel Walker trade, Philly fan brutality. Then it turns. K-Ski's 2025 — his wife's injury, a trip back to Trenton and Philly, and how the guns arrived back home. Kavawon's producer year, a finished EP, and ghostwriting. The middle is the best part. Kavawon asked an AI for twenty Vancouver artists and had never heard of any of them, which starts a genuinely uncomfortable conversation about how tapped-in the scene actually is — and lands somewhere hopeful, on Detour, Dipt's 25 years, and the Hogan's Alley Society. Community builds culture. Then the veterans: Nas, Clipse, Slick Rick, De La, RZA's Juice Crew project. MC Shan vs Big Daddy Kane. ODB storming a session and recording it backwards. Wu-Tang in Hawaii. Why veteran MCs get paid more overseas, Daz Dillinger's direct-to-consumer math, and ten years of Spotify saturation — ending on the argument that a thousand paying fans is a career, and why Kavawon is releasing four EPs instead of one album in 2026. Recorded at B-Side Radio, Vancouver BC. 0:00 Intro: upcoming shows 1:12 Kavawon's producer year and an EP 2:22 Fantasy football and basketball misery 3:50 Load management and the fans paying 5:38 Ronnie Lott's finger 7:19 Rooting against your family's team 9:41 The Herschel Walker trade 11:30 Eagles at 8-4 and Philly fan brutality 12:47 Astrology and Kavawon's cocoon year 14:00 K-Ski's 2025: back to Trenton 15:41 Sidewalk rules in tackle football 17:32 How the guns arrived back home 18:40 Beats Blues and Bars gets recognized 20:29 20 local artists we'd never heard of 23:21 Taking the podcast mobile 25:10 Vancouver's drama-free scene 26:47 Community builds culture 32:36 Beaumont Studios and a give-back plan 34:04 2025 headlines and the Diddy docuseries 37:48 Veteran MCs return: Nas, Clipse, De La 39:14 MC Shan vs Big Daddy Kane 42:48 ODB records it backwards 45:48 Wu-Tang in Hawaii: 'It's Yourz' 47:54 Playing your role in a group 50:27 Telling your real story 51:55 Why veterans do better overseas 53:11 Daz Dillinger's independent math 56:00 Disenchantment with celebrity 57:27 Ten years of Spotify and saturation 1:00:32 Everyone's a musician now 1:03:28 Finding your 1,000 paying fans 1:05:06 Four EPs instead of one album 1:10:53 2025 losses: Ozzy, Sly Stone, and more 1:13:22 AI in music and fake artists 1:15:58 Closing: reminders and into 2026

    Music Medicine: Jessaii, Karma Sounds & the Money Nobody Tells You About

    K-Ski hosts without Kavawon, and Jessaii co-pilots the whole episode — vocalist, songwriter, producer, vocal coach, music educator, and a mother. The first hour is hers. Writing her first songs in Regina, discovering reggae in Calgary, and then seven years of accidents and knee dislocations that took her income, her mobility and very nearly the rest. Single motherhood, food banks, and the slow work of picking yourself up. She explains AuDHD as gas and brakes pressed at the same time, why she now writes accommodations into artist contracts, and why she calls it music medicine — on stage the pain disappears. Queen Level Productions has pivoted to supporting artists with disabilities. Karma Sounds — Karina Morin — arrives at 40:26. Painfully shy sax player to singer, Montreal to Vancouver, the two years of keys behind 'Wings', and how she sprinkles healing into a pop hook. She opened the stage for Lauryn Hill. Then Tracy Pequin, a financial coach with 19 years at Primerica, explains the Registered Disability Savings Plan, the Disability Tax Credit, and the Canada Disability Benefit — what qualifies, how to apply, why almost nobody knows they exist, and which firms take a cut of your refund for filing the form you could file yourself. If you or someone you love is disabled in Canada, that hour is worth real money. Recorded at B-Side Radio, Vancouver BC. 0:00 Welcome: intros and who's missing 1:50 A summer of rest and festival prep 2:36 Stevie Wonder and a cassette coincidence 5:26 First songs in Regina: 'Freedom' 6:31 Discovering reggae in Calgary 8:30 Vancouver's reggae scene and 'Rise' 9:54 Gilt & Co. and pacing while healing 10:55 A neuroaffirmative kids arts camp 11:44 Vocal coaching and IDEO Studio 12:36 Queen Level pivots to disabled artists 14:19 Making resources accessible 17:14 School with no supports in Saskatchewan 18:01 School districts cutting music 20:14 The kids who only fit in music class 21:52 Seven years of accidents and fallout 24:12 Single motherhood and food banks 26:29 Put your own mask on first 28:28 'Start Again': survival into medicine 29:30 How to actually organize support 32:38 On stage the pain disappears 33:46 AuDHD: gas and brakes at once 36:35 Accommodations in artist contracts 40:26 Introducing Karma Sounds 42:17 Karma Sounds' origins: art as refuge 44:51 Shy sax player to singer 48:40 The story behind 'Wings' 50:59 Melody first, healing in the hooks 55:08 ADHD, time blindness, perfectionism 58:29 'Disability' vs 'diverse abilities' 1:02:37 Opening the stage for Lauryn Hill 1:05:39 New single, and Bandcamp vs Spotify 1:09:12 Karma Sounds' Gilt & Co. show 1:12:28 Meeting Tracy Pequin 1:14:18 Tracy's path: three jobs to licensed 1:15:46 The RDSP and Disability Tax Credit 1:18:03 Canada Disability Benefit and finders 1:20:02 MAID, poverty, and asset limits 1:21:12 Predatory firms taking a cut 1:23:15 Why nobody knows these programs exist 1:24:52 What qualifies for the credit 1:26:47 Finding money people didn't know about 1:30:57 How to reach Tracy; the wealth transfer 1:36:59 Limiting beliefs and low expectations 1:39:50 Music: 'Getting Better', Karma Sounds 1:45:05 Closing with Jessaii: unmasking, dharma 1:49:47 What's next: 'Big Love' and festivals

    Nige on The Imperfectionist: Therapy, Divorce, and Rapping at 39

    The most personal episode the show has done. Nige is releasing The Imperfectionist — named for a superhero who ruins everything he touches — and he came to talk about what is actually on it. He retired the "Young" from Young Nige at 39. He came up a punk kid on Epitaph Records before hip hop, started rapping late at 19 after a house party freestyle, and spent years freestyling in cars at the beach. The record is about divorce, therapy, aging in rap, and unlearning the stories you tell about yourself. His writing method now is one line per hour-long walk. K-Ski matches him with his own history: the record deal his mother refused to sign, YZ getting signed instead, the Navy sending him to Japan, teaching slang there, and the Ice Cube security story. DJ K-Rec is in for the first hour on drumless beats, Roc Marcy, and why depression makes upbeat beats — then leaves to feed the dogs, and the last forty minutes go somewhere else entirely: why mental illness rises as comfort increases, what a cop stopping your eldest son does to you, AI and job loss, marketing as an unhappiness-generating machine, and what success might look like if it were not a big house and five cars. Recorded at B-Side Radio, Beaumont Studios, Vancouver BC. 0:00 Going live: who's here tonight 2:03 B-Side Radio at Beaumont Studios 3:19 Meeting Nige, and the therapy question 4:14 From Young Nige to just Nige 6:41 'Young' as a state of mind, not an age 8:10 Punk kid: Epitaph before hip hop 8:57 The house party freestyle 10:24 Freestyling in cars at the beach 11:59 Why punk and hip hop were cousins 13:01 ATLiens, Brother Ali, burned CDs 15:11 Coming to rap late, at 19 16:18 Mixtapes, stamped covers, $8 AI masters 17:52 Battles in a Trenton school bathroom 18:50 Rappin' Duke and Beat Street 20:34 G-Unit, Eminem, the Diddy problem 21:57 Thinking 'My Name Is' was a comedy song 24:02 Much Music as an entry point 24:57 From technical multis to freestyle feel 28:24 Finding your voice; the K-Rec beat pack 29:37 How K-Rec completed the sound 30:48 Albums made on a phone 32:49 The Imperfectionist cover reveal 35:13 Release plan: album and Wise Lounge 36:43 Where the album title came from 38:17 Divorce and rapping about therapy 41:06 The deal K-Ski's mom refused to sign 42:30 YZ signed instead; the Navy, Japan 44:02 Teaching slang in Japan 45:59 The Ice Cube security story 47:16 Love, but no unified sound 50:34 American ideas about Canada 51:27 Ten months, eight songs 53:13 What pulled Nige back to rapping 55:30 The stories we tell about ourselves 58:40 One line per hour-long walk 1:00:04 K-Rec on drumless beats and Roc Marcy 1:02:46 Dropping the high-energy persona at 39 1:03:43 Depression makes upbeat beats 1:06:51 Who gets the best beats 1:07:36 Forgotten songs and stomp-clap 1:10:02 Day jobs and rap 1:13:04 Mental health, then and now 1:15:18 Mental illness rising with comfort 1:16:50 Substance use work after COVID 1:18:12 Comfort erodes your tolerance 1:19:51 K-Rec heads out to feed the dogs 1:24:31 Passing lessons to your kids 1:25:49 Feeling bad doesn't mean it is bad 1:28:22 Radical acceptance vs reality 1:30:54 A torn ACL and a Seattle record deal 1:33:06 The two girls who loved 'Sunshine' 1:34:25 The neighbour that forced a move 1:35:52 Young people losing hope 1:37:23 A cop stopping his eldest son 1:38:32 AI, job loss and uncertainty 1:42:32 Community as the answer 1:44:49 51st state talk and buying Canadian 1:46:46 Reimagining success 1:49:28 Online friendships: different, not worse 1:50:23 Marketing as an unhappiness machine 1:55:02 Measuring growth instead of happiness 1:56:45 Oligarchs and the French Revolution 1:58:45 Release details and where to find Nige

    Crabs in a Bucket: Estea Elements & DJ K-Rec on the Vancouver Scene

    K-Ski starts solo with Paul — 22 years of guitar and teaching kids at the Roundhouse — before Estea Elements arrives and the episode finds its subject: what it costs to build something in a city that doesn't help you build it. Estea Elements came from Jersey to Carolina to the Navy to Seattle before landing here. He works in addictions counseling and teaches curriculum through rap, and he is blunt about the crabs-in-a-bucket habit of the Vancouver scene and what a scarcity mindset does to people. The stretch on losing a rap contest to Wise Intelligent in Trenton, meeting Kid N Play and Salt-N-Pepa, and the Fat Boys coming to Vancouver in 1988 is the best oral history the show has recorded. Then DJ K-Rec, who made a record a year with him — including one made while K-Rec had cancer. K-Rec talks pause tapes, quitting rhyming for engineering, his beat-making routine, and the cold DMs to Sadat X, Kurious and Percee P that actually worked. The email that got them opening for De La Soul at the Commodore is worth the whole segment. It closes with three live performances and a run of fall show dates.
