Ruse Radio

Gozza is a mid-Michigan hip-hop artist keeping the old school sound alive. His latest project, 'Black Vinyl', is a shining example of this, featuring a grimy boom bap sound that would fit right in if we flew back to the mid-90s. His sample-based production is a product of his upbringing, as well as his vast knowledge of Flint hip-hop. I would love to have him back in the studio to dive even deeper...

Shawny Neubecker is an abundantly compassionate individual with infinite love to share. Her entire adult life has been focused on providing value to individuals who are in need. 'True Heart Project' is the latest example of this! I expected that, for the podcast, we would talk about the individuals she has met through 'True Heart Project' and how the organization came together. Instead, we went fa...

ALLEY has been on my radar for almost two years now! It was a pleasure finally getting him into the Ruse Stu. In these two short hours, we talk about our approaches to songwriting, local artists we admire, the ups-and-downs of working by yourself, and much more. This man's music is unlike anything in the hip-hop scene. With such a massive collection to choose from, that truly does say a lot. You c...

In the longest installment of 'Ruse Radio' to date, Kane Da Gr8 leads me through these 3 hours with ease. I'll often find that, even though I don't follow an outline or structure, I have to lead each guest throughout the conversation in order to keep things moving. It's what any good host would do. This time, however, I was able to sit back and allow things to flow. It created such an organic atmo...

Arriving to his second appearance on 'Ruse Radio', we welcome Vaughn Lambo into the Ruse Stu with open arms. ♥ Every time Vaughn and I get together, we end up having a deep, conceptual conversation with whatever topics we explore. Lambo is blessed with the ability to express his unique mindset in an eloquent fashion while giving you enough room to think around the words. Some might call it the 'gi...

B. Haley and I have a history! Check out our rap beef on both mine and his YouTube channels, featuring tracks like 'Ruses R Red' & 'B For Boring' 🔥🔥🔥 This was our first time meeting up and chatting in person and things came together quite naturally.  Creative individuals tend to have that effect on one another. 💯 Also, shoutout to 7endo! As always, thanks for tuning in. 💖

My sister, Beau, has joined us yet again on Ruse Radio! 💖 We've been talking about doing another episode for a year now and things finally fell into place. It's always great to talk to family in such a context because it allows for a social dynamic you might not be able to achieve in everyday conversation! For that, I am thankful and glad to have memories like this to go back to. I hope you guys...

Within moments after his arrival, Jay and I had already started clicking. There is something special about looking out into the world and seeing reflections of yourself in different shapes and forms. Everyone seems to be the same yet so different and, with that, comes the greatest of conversations. Jay has a unique and responsive outlook to the world that is both empathetic and independent. Respec...

...and we back 💯 It'z a Day Party!

Luke Benson is a living humble brag. This man built 'Takin' All Bets' from the ground up, stemming his brand from the art he'd already begun to produce.

GRAEME returns for a 'Finsta'-flavored reunion. 💯 This man and I always manage to talk and talk and talk every single time we get together so this was really a sneak peak into us catching up. 😂 Not that we weren't short of topics to talk about; we just dropped a whole 6-track EP together! 'FINSTA' is out now wherever you stream music. 😉 as always, thanks for tuning in!

Camm & I met once before probably about a year and a half ago but this was honestly like meeting one another all over again. I haven't had such an honest conversation about some of these topics with someone in a minute and I'm truly proud to be broadcasting this conversation about Flint music, individualism, self-expression, social media, mental health, honest creativity, and so much more. As...

MysterWre joins me in the newly-upgraded Ruse Stu for another doozy of a podcast! Come chill with us for an hour or so. ♥  P.S. Catch a new episode of 'Ruse Radio' every weekend! 💯

This one was a breath of fresh air. Jackman and I had an honest, intellectual conversation for a good hour before freestyling for just as long! It's always so refreshing for me to encounter another critical thinker because there's so much we can bounce off of one another. I live for conversations like these. As always, thank you for tuning in. P.S. Catch a new episode of 'Ruse Radio' every weekend...

Vaughn and I discuss his obsession with 60 Days In, why he left college, our takes on business, what house inspection is like, where the name King O Live came from, how Vaughn got the cops called on him at work, and more! Thank you guys so much for tu...

Right after I interviewed him, Death+ and I hopped onto some mics to chat! He brought the homie Barry Lava with him and it ended up being even better than I expected 😂 We cut wrestling promos, interviewed the Barn Boyz, and learned a little bit along the way. Thanks for tuning in! Catch you soon ✌

In this one, Saddoc & I chat about how he's grown as a person, seeing Uncut Gems together, what UpNrth is, & more! As always, thank you for tuning in ✌

In this one, my good friend Jesse Brown and I talk 'The Lighthouse'. This film is one of the most unique pieces of cinema I have seen in a LONG time and I honestly don't think words can do it justice. If this review says anything, it's that you should witness what 'The Lighthouse' has to offer. As always, thanks for tuning in ✌ see you soon.
