    S4:E4 - Soul Food For The Turntable | Cam Kent on Vinally High

    Send us Fan Mail This week on the Vinally High Podcast, Drew Beats and BJ Buds welcome a special guest to the studio — Carolina’s own Cam Kent (aka Cameron Wade), a producer, artist, and self-described creator of “music for the soul.”  The crew drops the needle on D’Angelo’s legendary album Voodoo and dives deep into the sounds, stories, and influence behind one of the most important records in modern soul and R&B. Along the way, Cam shares his musical journey — from singing in church and learning harmony with family members to becoming a producer who blends hip-hop, gospel, soul, and house music into his own unique sound.  The conversation flows through everything from crate digging and the art of sampling to the origins of neo-soul, the influence of producers like J Dilla and DJ Quik, and the cultural evolution of hip-hop. Cam also talks about how growing up around music shaped his creativity and how his philosophy of authenticity guides both his artistry and his life. As always, the episode features the Vinally High fan-favorite segment where BJ describes the album cover and the team feeds the description into AI to see what wild image it generates. Listeners are invited to guess the album based only on the description. Plus, the crew highlights Charlotte’s growing underground music scene, shares stories about discovering new artists, and reflects on the power of music to connect people across genres, backgrounds, and generations. Roll one up, drop the needle, and join the conversation as music, culture, creativity, and community collide in another laid-back episode of Vinally High.

    S4:E3 - Music, Medecine, & Collective Healing | Tommy Allgood on Vinally High

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Vinally High Podcast, hosts Drew Beats and BJ Buds welcome facilitator, organizational consultant, and coach Tommy Allgood of the Allgood Collective for a deeply grounding, wide-ranging conversation about healing, connection, and intentional living. While spinning Spell My Name by the legendary Toni Braxton, the crew explores how music carries memory, grief, empowerment, and healing across generations. Tommy shares powerful insights on trauma-informed practice, circle-based facilitation, and what it means to slow down in a world built for constant distraction. From relational intelligence and collective care to the impact of technology, capitalism, and disconnection on our nervous systems, this episode invites listeners to rethink how we show up for ourselves and one another. The conversation also touches on spirituality beyond religion, the role of plant medicine and intention in personal growth, and how ancient practices like circle work can help individuals, families, and organizations repair trust, navigate rupture, and align more deeply with their values. As always, the episode is brought to you by Ghost Face Gorilla Grow, the official flower provider of Season 4, and includes this week’s listener giveaway trivia. Sit back, relax, and get finally high — not just in elevation, but in presence.

    S4:E2 - Intentional Cannabis & Community Building | Copacetic Vibes on Vinally High

    Send a text In this episode of Vinally High, hosts Drew Beats and BJ Buds welcome Marley, the visionary behind Copacetic Vibes, for a deep, thoughtful conversation centered on intentional living, plant wisdom, and authentic community. As Jay-Z’s The Black Album spins on the turntable, the trio explores how cannabis, music, and mindfulness intersect when the goal isn’t just getting high—but true elevation.  Marley shares the journey behind building Copacetic Vibes, from its roots as a spiritual smoke shop focused on intentional consumption to its evolution into a lifestyle and events brand grounded in healing, education, and connection. The conversation dives into the philosophy of mindful cannabis use, balancing fun with purpose, and how plant medicine can be used to support personal growth rather than escapism. A major highlight of the episode is Smoke & Tell, Copacetic Vibes’ community-driven event series that blends cannabis education, innovative consumption methods, games, and shared experiences into a welcoming, pressure-free environment. Marley breaks down how Smoke & Tell grew from a virtual pandemic project into one of his most impactful in-person offerings—creating real-world connections among people who might otherwise never cross paths. The episode also expands beyond cannabis into foraging, nature therapy, grounding practices, and the importance of reconnecting with the outdoors. Marley explains how spending time in nature—and teaching others to identify plants and mushrooms—has become both a personal healing practice and a way to pass practical knowledge on to the next generation. Rounding out the conversation, the crew digs into the shifting legal landscape of cannabis, including hemp bans and federal rescheduling, discussing what these changes could mean for consumers, growers, and community-based access to plant medicine. Throughout it all, the core message remains clear: community, education, and intention matter more than hype.

    S4:E1 - From Tiny Rooms to Big Sounds | Soul Creek Revival on Vinally High

    Send us Fan Mail Season 4 of the Vinally High Podcast kicks off in a big way — with the show’s first-ever season opener featuring guests and the debut of full video episodes. Drew Beats and BJ Buds return after a long hiatus to welcome Chays and Mike of Soul Creek Revival into the newly minted Vinally High studio for a wide-ranging, high-energy conversation centered around music, cannabis, creativity, and connection. The crew spins The Eagles’ Greatest Hits, dives into the band’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legacy, and revives one of Vinally High’s classic traditions: describing album cover art while extremely elevated. From there, the conversation flows organically into the origins of both the podcast and Soul Creek Revival — from tiny-room beginnings and DIY passion to the moments that sparked lifelong creative paths. Chays and Mike share unforgettable road stories, including cruise-ship gigs, massive rotating setlists, and international adventures, while also opening up about songwriting, musicianship, and the now-legendary love song inspired by a cannabis plant named “Mona.” The discussion moves into favorite strains, terpene science, ADHD, creativity, and how plant medicine supports focus, calm, and emotional balance. As always, the laughs run deep — but so does the purpose. The episode closes with an important conversation about protecting the hemp industry, the real-world benefits of CBD and THC for sleep, pain management, mental health, and why advocacy for the plant matters now more than ever. With vinyl spinning, stories flowing, and surprises teased along the way, this episode sets the tone for what promises to be the biggest and most meaningful season of Vinally High yet.
