Welcome to The Shop Talk Podcast. Here, its all beats and love. . . and a lot of real talk. We all know artists are sensitive about their ish. But why tho? Why do we artists, the people who probably give the most of ourselves to others, prefer to be alone? What factors within today's society cause artists to withdraw from the majority; Be it physically or by creating a "separate persona?" Why are most artists natural introverts? Today, we sit down with international hip hop artist, S- Wrap, to talk about just that. Let's get some answers!! Follow us @ShopTalk615 on all social media to stay up to date on all Shop Talk events, as well as other tribe news. Be sure to use #STPNash to join the convo.

Welcome to The Shop Talk Podcast, where we say what we want because its our show! Get ready for some cloth talk ya’ll. Ok, let’s talk exposure. The number of “digital soapboxes” we can stand on today is at an all time high. There is a laundry list of platforms available for us to voice our opinions, and show off our creativity.  Yet and still, we are forced to hide our thoughts and positions on certain issues, because we don’t have OUR OWN platforms. On this episode, we sit down with artist and entrepreneur AhmadMusic, Queen promoter Empress Lady J, and media moguls in the making Just Jomilla and Burm from Color TV, to rap about the importance of creating our own platforms and the work that goes into doing so. As always we’ll be havin’ a real good time, and a real convo about some real important ish! Follow us @ShopTalk615 on all social media. Be sure to use #STPNash to join the convo.

Welcome to The Shop Talk Nashville Podcast where we talk hip hop culture and community at the same damn time. Hip Hop has lost a lot this year. We are still recovering from the losses of greats such as battle rapper Tech 9, culture OG Bushwick Bill, and our Compton King, Nipsey Hussle. Reminiscing on the substantial effects they left on our culture conjures up as many answers as it does questions. Join us as we sit down with Nashville rap group, Blacc Dope, and self-dubbed Hip Hop connoisseur and poet, Jay Prince, to talk about our fallen heros, their legacies and how best to honor them.
