    He Refused to Fake It… Then His Realest Song Changed Everything

    On Episode 30 of Sculpt N Create, I’m joined by Twan Blow (Columbia, SC) — a reality-rap artist and beatmaker who’s built his lane on truth, intention, and delayed gratification. We talk about: Why “image rap” can backfire — and why the truth always comes to light What it means to come from the hood, feel pulled both ways, and still choose the path that breaks cycles How Twan’s song “Say Nothing” became the turning point that connected him to the right people and bigger opportunities Why chasing a viral moment is a trap — and how building a real fanbase actually pays His creative process as a producer/artist (and why he’s big on making listeners feel something) Independence, label deals, and why he keeps projects under 40 minutes Plus: anime, “stoner” stereotypes, new music, merch, and what’s next Tap in — this one’s for the artists trying to stay real, stay focused, and still level up. Subscribe/follow and drop your biggest takeaway. 🔑Key Takeaways ✔️Authenticity wins long-term: fake personas may pop fast, but the truth catches up. ✔️Build a fanbase, not a moment: viral can fade—real fans pay, grow, and stick. ✔️Emotion sells: Twan intentionally creates songs that make listeners feel something. ✔️Your process is your edge: making beats + writing in real time + feedback from trusted ears. ✔️Move strategic with projects: keep releases intentional; don’t drop “albums” too early if you’re still building. 🎤Bars From The Episode 🔥“Accountability is a lost art right now.” 🔥“The truth always gonna come to light.” 🔥“Don’t chase the viral moment… build a cult-type fan base.” 🔥“Music is feelings — and feelings can be calculated.” 🔥“Get comfortable with delayed gratification.” 🔥“It pays to be yourself.” 🔥“I’m not trying to be famous… I just like to get paid for my music.” 🔥“Put God first… and he’ll guide your steps.” 🕰️Episode Chapters 00:10 — “If You Ever Felt Forced to Fake It… Press Play” 02:57 — “Reality Rap: One Foot In, One Foot Out… Then I Chose a Side” 06:15 — “Do Artists Owe the Truth… or a Disclaimer?” 08:45 — “Everybody Wants to Be Lied To (That’s the Problem)” 11:26 — “‘I Will Snitch On You’ — Don’t Do Crime Around Me” 15:55 — “You Don’t Have to Dance to Everything: ‘Grown Folk’ Rap Talk” 23:50 — “Why They Started Calling Him ‘Twan Blow’” 28:23 — “Music as Therapy: ‘Some Things Only You, God & the Devil Know’” 36:18 — “Beatmaker Brain: Writing While Building the Beat” 38:24 — “INTENTION Over Random Songs: How He Crafts a Project” 41:24 — “If My Team Hates It… Do I Still Drop It?” 42:40 — “The 40-Minute Rule (Nipsey/50 Cent Game)” 46:35 — “The Song That Changed Everything: ‘Say Nothing’ Story” 54:47 — “High-Level Stoner: Productive, Focused, Not Here to ‘Promote’ It” 57:37 — “I’m Not Signing My Life Away (Indie Strategy)” 1:00:01 — “Fame Gets WEIRD (Bathroom Story 😭)” 1:02:00 — “I’d Rather Buy Stocks Than Flex Watches” 1:07:18 — “Next EP Tease: The ‘80/20 Rule’ and Betrayal Talk” 1:14:02 — “The Real Advice: Delayed Gratification > Viral” 1:14:54 — “The Biggest Takeaway: ‘It Pays to Be Yourself’” 1:16:41 — “Last Bar: Put God First” 🔗 Connect w/ Twan Blow 📸 Instagram 👉🏾 https://www.instagram.com/twanblow803/🎵 TikTok 👉🏾 https://www.tiktok.com/@twanblow803📘 Facebook 👉🏾 https://www.facebook.com/twan.blow🎧 Stream the new single “Road Runner” — available on all platforms📲 Follow @twanblow803 everywhere 🔗 Connect w/ Trea Da Fit Artist 🚀 Ready to level up your fitness, creativity & performance? 📄 Fit Masterpiece Score👉🏾 https://rebrand.ly/fmpscore 💪🏾 Coaching & Training👉🏾https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/masterpiece-sculpting-call 🎨 Fit Masterpiece Collabs Network (2-Week Experience)👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/fit-masterpiece-collabs--2week-network-experience 🎧 More Episodes👉🏾 https://gopod.io/p/ggpeaX 🎤 Be a Guest👉🏾 https://pocketsuite.io/form/dxOo

    Your “Normal” Diet Might Be the Problem (and Sugar’s the Silent Saboteur)

    On Episode 29 of Sculpt N Create, we're tapping in with Dr. Aaron Chapa — clinical nutritionist, wellness advocate, and speaker with 20+ years in functional + holistic health. This ain't your typical “eat better” conversation. We break down how early habits shape adult health, why so many people deal with brain fog and low energy, and how “normal eating” can keep you stuck. Dr. Chapa explains why sugar quietly wrecks performance, how “genetic” is often just familiar habits passed down, and why processed food is basically Frankenfood ... engineered for cravings, not health. For artists + entertainers: you’re an athlete. Your body is your instrument and how you fuel it impacts your creativity and longevity. You’ll also get road-ready strategies: simple fasting windows, protein-first mornings, and restaurant/nightlife moves that don’t crash your progress. If you’re stuck in that locked-in → burnout cycle, this episode is for you. Drop a comment: What’s one nutrition habit you know you need to tighten up this week? 🔑 Key Takeaways ✔️ “Genetic” isn’t always genetic — it’s often familiar habits passed down.✔️ Sugar isn’t just about weight — it impacts energy, focus, cravings, inflammation, and mood.✔️ Processed food is engineered for repeat customers, not real health.✔️ Artists and entertainers are athletes — your body is your instrument.✔️ Start your day with protein and fats to stabilize blood sugar.✔️ Intermittent fasting can be practical for chaotic schedules.✔️ Detox doesn’t have to be extreme — clean inputs support natural pathways.✔️ Nutrition is quality-of-life maintenance, not punishment. 🎤 Bars from the Episode 🔥 “Your ‘normal’ eating might just be marketing in disguise.”🔥 “It’s not always genetic… it’s familiar.”🔥 “If you put fake food in, you’ll get make-believe health.”🔥 “No one outruns a bad diet.”🔥 “You’re an athlete — you just don’t wear pads on Sunday.”🔥 “Start your day right to end it right.”🔥 “All life starts and stops at the cellular level.” 🕰️ Episode Chapters 00:10 This Isn’t “Eat Better” Talk — Root-Cause Truth02:06 Meet Dr. Aaron Chapa: 20+ Years in Functional Wellness05:29 55 Pounds Gone in 4 Months: The Sugar Wake-Up Call07:41 Losing His Father at 19: The Moment That Changed Everything09:45 “It’s Not Genetic… It’s Familiar”10:14 How Food Marketing Hooks Kids for Life12:36 Frankenfood & Make-Believe Health15:30 American Heart Association & Nutrition Confusion17:05 Trained Early: Candy, Sugar, and Habits19:16 Artists Are Athletes: Your Body Is the Instrument24:43 Questions Beat Criticism34:10 The 4 Additives Quietly Wrecking Health38:38 What Centenarians Have in Common44:33 Insulin, Carbs, and the Food Pyramid47:50 Detox Without Extremes50:09 Road Rules: Fasting + Restaurants59:46 Breakfast, Circadian Rhythm & Late Meals1:02:24 What a Clinical Nutritionist Actually Does1:11:29 “Your Life.

    What Happens When You Finally Control What You Can

    On episode 28 of Sculpt N Create, I’m tapping in with Jarmar Green (BLK Bullet X) — musician, philosopher, and storyteller straight out of Nap Town (Indianapolis). Jarmar breaks down his sound called “rhythm rap”: hip hop built on emotion, real life perspective, and bars you don’t have to overthink to feel. We talk about his journey from progressive metal band life to stepping fully into rap as an independent artist... what the switch taught him about pressure, discipline, creativity, and control. He also gets real about the business side: why short, digestible projects can make more sense than long albums for indie artists, and how building a home setup can save money, time, and energy (if you use it the right way). Then we get into the big conversation: AI in music such as the pros, the dangers, and how artists can use it as a tool without losing identity or letting the machine replace the craft. And to top it off, Jarmar shares a major personal win: dropping from 267lbs to ~219lbs since June, and what truly moved the needle for him... cleaner ingredients, cutting seed oils, tightening his eating window, and approaching health from a holistic angle (not just “gym hardcore”). Main message of this episode: control what you can control... in your music, your health, your mindset, and your circle. Drop your biggest takeaway in the comments, and make sure you follow/subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next. 🔑Key takeaways ✔️Rhythm Rap = emotion + clarity + storytelling. Simple enough to catch, deep enough to feel. ✔️Indie artists win with digestible projects. EPs/smaller drops can be a smarter strategy than long albums. ✔️Control what you can control — especially in uncomfortable moments. That’s the discipline. ✔️A home studio reduces friction (money, time, pressure), but preparation still separates pros from hobbyists. ✔️AI is a tool, not the creator. Use it to bridge gaps (like mixing/mastering help), not replace your identity. ✔️ ️Weight loss needle-movers: cleaner ingredients, better food sourcing, and a consistent eating window can outperform “more gym.” ✔️Your circle matters: keep people who tell you the truth, not what sounds good. 🎤Bars 🔥“Control what you can control.” 🔥“Protect your vibe. Protect your mind. Protect your health.” 🔥“AI is a tool... don’t let it become the tool.” 🔥“Anything over 10–15 minutes is an album to me as an independent artist.” 🔥“Your body is the only one you get, be present and take care of what’s yours.” 🕰️Episode chapters 00:10 Intro: Rhythm Rap, AI, and the “control what you can control” theme 01:48 Meet Jarmar Green (BLKBulletX) — Nap Town roots 03:28 What is “Rhythm Rap”?

    Fear Doesn't Go Away... You Just Move Anyway

    Be Unafraid: Betting on Yourself When Fear Is Loud On today’s Episode 27 of Sculpt N Create, we dive deep into real courage... not the loud, flashy kind, but the quiet decision to bet on yourself when fear is loud, confidence is shaky, and outcomes aren’t guaranteed. My guest is Fortune Mazhambe, host of the Be Unafraid Podcast and founder of the Be Unafraid brand. Fortune lives the message he shares. After stepping into mixed martial arts and experiencing a tough first MMA loss in 2024, he didn’t retreat, he leaned in. That moment became the catalyst for a bigger mission rooted in confidence, discipline, and forward motion. In this conversation, we unpack: What fear really costs us when we let it decide for us How fitness becomes the gateway to confidence, clarity, and identity Why failure isn’t the opposite of success, but often the doorway to it The mental battles that never show up on highlight reels Why being “unafraid” doesn’t mean eliminating fear, it means moving anyway We also talk about Fortune’s evolution from fitness into MMA, his transition into competitive boxing, and what it truly means to see yourself as the hero of your own story. If you’ve ever talked yourself out of trying… If you’ve ever stood on the edge of something you know you’re meant to do… This episode is for you. 🎧 Hit subscribe/follow, and drop a comment with your biggest takeaway. 🔑 Key Takeaways ✔️Confidence is built, not found and it often starts with the body ✔️Fitness ain’t just physical; it rewires how you show up in life ✔️You can do everything right and still lose... and still win internally ✔️Fear never disappears; your ability to move with it grows ✔️Discipline isn’t intensity, it’s consistency under pressure ✔️Heroes aren’t fearless; they act anyway 🎤 Bars From the Episode 🔥“Fear doesn’t disappear. You just get better at moving anyway.” 🔥“Sometimes you can do everything right and still lose and that doesn’t mean you failed.” 🔥“The body is the first thing you can control and confidence grows from there.” 🔥“Being unafraid isn’t about being fearless. It’s about choosing to move forward.” 🔥“You’re either letting fate write your story or you’re picking up the pen.” 🔥“The best step a person can take is always the next one.” 🕰️EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 —  Introducing Fortune Mazhambe & The Be Unafraid Journey 02:48 — You Can Do Everything Right and Still Lose 06:15 — Confidence Isn’t Found, It’s Built 10:42 — Why Fitness Changes How You See Yourself 14:30 — Walking Into the Cage With Fear 18:55 — Failure Isn’t the Opposite of Success 23:40 — From MMA to Boxing: Why the Shift Matters 28:10 — Discipline Over Motivation 32:45 — The Voice That Tries to Stop You 37:20 — You’re the Hero of Your Own Story 41:55 — Fear Is Loud.

    The Residue We Never Talk About

    3 Alter Egos, 1 Truth: Black Keef on Identity, Rock Therapy & Releasing the “Residue” On Episode 26 of Sculpt N Create, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Black Keef—artist, songwriter, and mental health advocate... for a real conversation about identity, release, and creative freedom. Keith breaks down why he created 3 musical identities to protect the vibe and the message: Keef Sweatshirt (rap/hip-hop) Keefiyo (R&B/pop “lover boy” energy) Black Keef (rock, where he can finally scream what he was taught to hold in) We talk about getting boxed in by genre, why ageism in hip-hop is backwards, and how music can be a journal you can replay, a form of therapy that documents your growth. Keith also shares how he’s building a bigger mission through Eclipse Music Technologies and Eclipse Distro, a Black-owned distribution platform created by artists, for artists. If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink yourself to fit a lane… this one’s for you. 🔑 Key Takeaways ✔️You can’t heal what you never release, art can be the outlet. ✔️Multiple identities can protect your creativity without confusing your audience. ✔️Music is a journal you can replay, proof of where you were and how you grew. ✔️Genre is a toolbox, not a prison. Rock/rap/R&B all have lanes inside them. ✔️Age is not the limiter, authenticity is. Rap your truth, not your old persona. ✔️Diversify your skills so you don’t get taxed (knowledge = leverage). ✔️Structure supports mental health, even for creatives. 🎤 Bars From the Episode 🔥“Black Keith is the residue… the stuff that burned me.” 🔥“Music is a journal you can replay.” 🔥“When you hold it in, it snowballs… then it becomes an avalanche.” 🔥“Don’t push the circle to a box, if you want to make something, make it.” 🔥“If it’s not hurting nobody, enjoy your life.” 🔥“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know… and what you’re willing to learn.” 🕰️ Episode Chapters 00:10 Episode intro + who Black Keef is01:25 Welcome + where to find Black Keef02:29 The 3 identities: Keith Sweatshirt / Keefiyo / Black Keith03:44 Why artists get boxed in (and how to protect your vibe)04:57 How long he’s been creating + why it became serious06:28 The XL Beats push + “proof in the pudding” mindset10:42 Entering rock + first single “The Abyss”12:24 Why rock is harder to engineer + vocal coaching15:28 Rock with rap elements + letting the beat “tell you”17:30 Starter playlist: I Don’t Care / Floating / The Abyss / Brain Freeze / Metagirl18:54 Why non-rock listeners still connect (relatability + hip-hop elements)23:18 Rock isn’t one thing (love songs, party songs, soft rock, metal, etc.)27:30 Building the rock album + cohesion + “The Residue” meaning34:31 Music as therapy + replayable journal you can learn from38:15 Boxing as release + why music hits different45:08 Life structure + managing 80+ employees + entrepreneurship46:23 Eclipse Distro + artists-first mission48:40 Ageism in hip-hop (and why it’s weird)58:47 Diversifying skills + network = leverage (don’t get taxed)1:05:04 Final message + biggest takeaway + Metagirl promo 🔗 Connect w/ Black Keef 🌐 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/KeefSweatshirt📲 Social (all platforms): @keefsweatshirt🎧 Streaming name: Black Keef 🔗 Connect w/ Trea Da Fit Artist 🚀 Ready to level up your fitness, creativity & performance? 📄 Get Your Fit Masterpiece Score: https://rebrand.ly/fmpscore 💪🏾 Coaching & Training: https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/masterpiece-sculpting-call 🎨 Join the Fit Masterpiece Collabs Network (Get the 2 Week Experience): https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/fit-masterpiece-collabs--2week-network-experience 🎧 More Episodes: https://gopod.io/p/ggpeaX 🎤 Be a Guest on the Podcast 👉🏾 Apply here: https://pocketsuite.io/form/dxOo

    Some Stories Ain't Written... They're Survived

    Some stories ain’t just written... they’re survived. On Episode 25 of Sculpt N Create, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Shawniece Hall, author of the debut novel Flames, certified nursing assistant, and creative whose journey was forged through resilience, discipline, and self-authorship. Shawniece opens up about growing up in survival mode... navigating homelessness, instability, and adult responsibilities far too early and how writing became both her escape and her purpose. We explore the real story behind Flames, why readers describe it as cinematic, and how childhood experiences quietly shape adult relationships, trust, and love. This conversation also dives into balancing creativity with real-world responsibilities in healthcare, building discipline without burning out, and what it truly means to become the author of your own life... without letting statistics define your future. If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualified you… If you’ve struggled to trust love… If you’ve been sitting on your gift because life got in the way… This episode is for you. 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✔️Your past doesn’t disqualify you, it can become your source material ✔️Discipline creates freedom for creatives with real-world responsibilities ✔️Love feels unsafe when safety was missing early in life ✔️Structure matters more than motivation when building something long-term ✔️Strong friendships are just as vital as romantic relationships ✔️AI is a tool... your authentic voice still matters most ✔️Ownership, copyrights, and due diligence protect your creative future 🎤 BARS FROM THE EPISODE 🔥“Some stories ain’t written, they’re survived.” 🔥“You are the author of your own life, not the statistic they handed you.” 🔥“Discipline is what carries your creativity when motivation fades.” 🔥“AI can edit your work, but it can’t replace your voice.” 🔥“Love feels dangerous when you learn early that it disappears.”🔥“Your circumstances don’t decide your ceiling, your choices do.” 🕰️ EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 — When Survival Becomes the Story 02:00 — Writing as an Escape Before It Was a Purpose 06:30 — Turning Chaos Into Structure 12:10 — Discipline Over Motivation 18:45 — Love, Guarded Hearts, and Childhood Wounds 26:00 — Why Flames Feels Cinematic 35:40 — AI: Tool or Threat to Creativity? 45:10 — Protecting Your Work in a Creative World 52:00 — Becoming the Author of Your Own Life 🔗 Connect w/ Shawniece Hall 🌐 Website: https://www.shawniecewritez.com📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShawnieceHall📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shawniecewritez🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@neci101 🔗 Connect w/ Trea Da Fit Artist 🚀 Ready to level up your fitness, creativity & performance? 📄 Get Your Fit Masterpiece Score:https://rebrand.ly/fmpscore 💪🏾 Coaching & Training:https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/masterpiece-sculpting-call 🎨 Join the Fit Masterpiece Collabs Network:https://pocketsuite.io/book/nextworldfitness/item/fit-masterpiece-collabs--2week-network-experience 🎧 More Episodes:https://gopod.io/p/ggpeaX 🎤 Be a Guest on the Podcast 👉🏾 Apply here:https://pocketsuite.io/form/dxOo

    Why Chasing the Industry Is the Fastest Way to Lose Yourself

    Sculpt N Create - Episode 23 w/ Rocky Neal A raw conversation on artistry, freedom, and building longevity without selling your soul. Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with recording artist Rocky Neal for a real, unfiltered conversation about what it actually takes to survive and thrive as an artist today. Rocky explains why he refuses to box himself in as “just a rapper,” how versatility and strategy have shaped his catalog, and why chasing mainstream validation often leads artists further away from freedom. From opening up for major acts on festival stages to intentionally releasing singles instead of albums, Rocky breaks down the mindset shifts independent artists must make if they want longevity. They dive into the realities most artists avoid talking about: The business side of music that quietly kills creativity Why gimmicks fade but authenticity compounds Treating music like a long-term asset, not a gamble The power of personality, storytelling, and presence Why co-signs don’t matter without consistency Making concept records that outlive trends Navigating artistry, independence, and real-life responsibilities like fatherhood This episode ain't about shortcuts or hype cycles. It’s about clarity, ownership, and building something that lasts. If you’re an artist, entertainer, or creative trying to move smarter, not louder, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. 🎧 Press play and tap in. 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✔️Freedom is the real goal, not fame or mainstream validation ✔️Artists last longer when they stop boxing themselves into one lane ✔️Singles can be more powerful than albums for independent artists ✔️Personality builds loyalty faster than streams✔️Gimmicks attract attention, authenticity builds longevity✔️Festivals reveal who actually has music that connects✔️Treat music like a long-term asset, not a quick win✔️Concept records give your catalog depth and replay value✔️Co-signs mean nothing without consistency and strategy 🎤 BARS FROM THE EPISODE 🔥“Freedom is the goal.
