What's going on everyone?! I hope you're enjoying yourself, especially since it's the summer. I should've posted it right after, but last week Jay Wise and myself were invited to appear on the internet radio show "Soul Exchange Live" on Inthemixxradio.com The show was recorded just in case you missed the livestream feed that Tuesday and there are the youtube videos below. If you want to read my experience and thoughts about the show then continue on this literal journey.
Like I stated earlier, I was invited as well as the rest of the Branded Baron crew to come on the show after meeting DJ Brown Boi and DJ Lady Essence at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. Unfortunately the others who are in charge such as Anthony and Danette could not make it. I asked if I could bring Jay Wise along, since I knew it was a hip hop show and thought it would be more exposure and he's a big supporter of Branded Baron. The okay was given and I was excited for the show.
I picked up Jay Wise and drove to the Inthemixxradio.com station which was in Mt. Vernon, New York. I think so, but that is besides the point. On the way there I was listening to all the newest material that Jay Wise recorded either with his group the Corp Cartel or his solo songs. Let me tell you, that the songs are hoooot. His "Pre-fresh Volume 1.5" mixtape is being released sometime next week on the net and the "Pre-Fresh 2" will be released shortly after it. He gets better every time he records and all honesty he should be signed and played on heavy rotation.
We arrive at the station, but I wouldn't have known it, because it looked like an abandoned office building on the outside. DJ Brown Boi came downstairs to open up the door and BOOM! Guess what he was wearing? If you guessed a winer bubble jacket, you're wrong. He was rocking the black Listen To Your Heart t-shirt He brought us upstairs to the station where I saw Lady Essence rocking the aqua Listen to your heart female t-shirt. I was introduced to Mike Thompson who was the other radio personality in this Soul Exchange trio. There was this big banner with a bunch of autographs in the hallway and one in the room. There were a bunch of cameras and I expected that being that it was going to be livestream show. We arrived quite early, so everyone was setting up. I know Jay Wise and I were tweeting about the show all night. He tweeted a lot, because everytime he would talk about it the Branded Baron account would be one of the couple that directed the message to.
Once the show started it was cool and we were vibing out to what was being talked about and played. The first person to play music was DJ Brown Boi and his set had a good selection of songs. If you saw me during that time, you would've seen me just acting like a fool. I thought, "I'm going to enjoy myself and if I like song, I'm going to vibe to it" and if the show was visible to those tuning in, then I'm going to have you make you wonder what is going on. After DJ Brown Boi played his set we got to business. Mike started to interview me and we got to talk about Branded Baron. I definitely joked around a lot during the interview, but I made sure I answered the questions. Jay Wise definitely helped me out too. We definitely had poked some fun at the expense of Myspace, made sure that you have to keep it "Stunningly Fresh", talking about Nike giving us endorsement checks and other various topics. Let be clear again, because I being texted and people were tweeting to me, I am not getting married. I don't know how that was brought up, I was only joking with Mike who is getting married pretty damn soon.(Congrats, Mike) When you watch the video, I didn't formally introduce him, because I was trying to find the best time to introduce him to those tuning in. It worked out, because like expected he was interviewed and they played the Corp Cartel's "Do You Want Me"(Listen and/or Download Here) That's probably one of my favorite songs and I'm glad Brown Boi chose to play that one, because Jay nor I knew which song they were going to play.
After the song was complete there was some more fun conversation and DJ Lady Essence did her thing! It's really cool when Djs rock your shirt while spinning, whether it's at a club or in a radio station, it's just cool. Again thanks for the support from all the DJs out there rocking Branded Baron. Jay and I thought it'd be cool just to stay for the rest of the show and everyone was cool with it. There was some pizza, so we ate some and drank some refreshing water. They interviewed another rapper Mr. Low, who interrupted my interview which was on a high note. Pun intended. lol He seemed like a good dude and he had some good songs. He has a performance with Faith Hill in the Bronx coming up. You can check out his fan page at http://www.facebook.com/BxMrLow At one point I engaged in the conversation here and there, since I was by a microphone. I was checking the chat and speaking with everyone who was on there and watching the show.
What was great was the verses being kicked by Jay Wise and Mr. Low. Yea for some reason everyone thought I was going to rap, but I didn't. I PROMISE I'll do it next time I'm on there. It's always entertaining to here the skills from the emcees on the spot.
The show ended well and if you watched you heard me say the discount code that you can use. We took photos and signed the banner before heading out. I have to say that I had fun and it's a show you should check out on Tuesday nights when you get a chance. I was listening to it this past Tuesday, it messed with me watching Wipeout, but luckily tv has a mute button. They're cool and stunningly fresh people and I would like to be on it sometime in the future. Definitely go to inthemixxradio.com on Tuesdays from 9-11pm.
Stay no less than Stunningly Fresh,
Joe
