TANG BANG TWANG, everybody! If you don't understand the reference then you need to listen to the latest episode of the online podcast by the Jersey boys of Raw Radio Online. It's up, I'm a featured guest this week and like I said in the preview, it's entertaining. A heads up it's NSFW, not suitable for work. So the link you can download it.
IF you didn't know, now you will. Branded Baron sponsors the online radio podcast "Raw Radio Online", which is more of a guy talk/howard stern-ish type of talk show w/ humorous banter. This video is a preview of what's to come and it doesn't show the greatness of the episode, it's a mere taste.
I suggest you listen to the first 3 episodes of this new season of their podcast, so you're tune with everyone. I will admit that the first two episodes are the funniest, so give that a listen to. Check it out here: http://www.rawradioonline.com/category/episodes/season-2/ Or you can go to iTunes and subscribe to their podcast for free. Type "Raw Radio Online" when searching.
The new episode with me as a guest will premiere on Wednesday 10pm. So tune in then, you'll like it.
Here is Mike Kirshenbaum rocking the Carpe Diem sweatshirt. He loved it and the rest of the cast loved the Branded Baron goodies I came by with.
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

Unfortunately Danette or Anthony can't make it, but I can only ask so many times. Hey, some people get shy when they're on camera or on the radio being interviewed. I definitely know some people would like to know Danette's inspiration for her designs. Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is answered and that our segment is fun. Plus, you'll get to find out a bit more about Jay Wise.
Time is a tickin, I hope you enjoy the show later today. I'm off to shave, so I can look oh so stunningly fresh.
One more thing, listen for a discount code when I'm on the show.
I know I'm a bit late on this post, but it's been busy getting everything ready for our official summer release. On May 26th, I called up Jay Wise just to discuss some business and all of a sudden he tells me that him, the rest of the Corp Cartel, Allen EZ from the Gem-N-I, and Tony Bregga(another artist that's close with the group and the one who's fashion party I was at last month) will be on this internet radio later that afternoon. I was told I could tag along, so I headed up to New York to meet with them.
The station was in Nyack, so we went there, Jay was rocking the red Astrohop, Bregga was rocking the White Lion shirt(Click here to purchase)
, and Allen EZ was rocking the new Space Can tee. We were introduced to the radio host, Madame Sassy and then the interviewing began after the break she had. I was interviewed first, before the rest of the guys and you get to hear some of the background of Branded Baron. I didn't realize it was a video broadcast, so I was describing my shirt when all I could've done was just look in the direction of the camera. For some reason I didn't put two an
d two together when Jay told me he was going to perform on this internet show.
After I was interviewed Madame Sassy interviewed everyone else, except for Allen EZ for some reason. I don't know why he didn't go up to get interviewed, but I believe he's going back to interview this month. The Corp Cartel performed and it was ok. I have to keep it real, because I've seen them perform a hell of a lot better. Also, the station manager came in and fixed the mics while they were performing. Luckily they've been performing for a long time and knew to keep going. They performed their new song "On Deck" and Jay performed his song "Don't Be Scared"( Watch on Youtube . Bregga didn't get a chance to perform, because of time constraints. I believe he and Allen will both go back this month to perform.
Overall, it was cool and I enjoy being interviewed. I personally enjoy reading or listening or watching interviews from other upcoming brands or artists. I feel as though it's inspiring. You can check out the Madame Sassy show that we were on just in case you missed it or missed my twitter announcement then in the archives. Click here for Archives It's the show with no description. You can check out the video interview directly CLICK HERE TO WATCH The interviews don't start until 9:36 into the show. You can listen to the music that was played beforehand or you can jump ahead. So enjoy the interviews and performance when we were on Rockland World Radio. Thanks Madame Sassy for having us on.
Stay No Less Than Stunningly Fresh,
Joe
