The Chris Gabo Show

The Chris Gabo Show This episode is an experiment. A documentary of an eight hour session in which Chris Gabo freestyles and writes with Analisa Velez with Chuck Dickson, owner of ATB Studios, engineering. At various points our homies Rilëë, Mayar Hamden, and Dave Harris swing by to kick it. If y'all like it I'll make more of these. Oh, yeah! Also this is the penultimate episode of Seaon 1...

We open the episode with a very special announce...

What up what up you filthy animals. This one is a banger. Analisa was sick and had to abdicate co-host duties and was sorely missed. We open with a song called "Black Dress" that me and Ebonie Smith are working on, E, blessed us with some live piano. Then TV Writer and comedian Anna Salinas (who I wrote on Season 2 of Mo with) came in and blessed us with the secrets of Latino Hollywood. ...

Eid Mubarak friends and comrades! We took a big leap forward this week on Episode 19 of The Chris Gabo Show. Remember last week when I said "I don't want a fucking podcast I wanna host late night???" Well yo, thus far, this is the closest I've gotten to the type of show I ACTUALLY wanna do. This week was Analisa Velez's first episode as an official co-host, her first week of...

Join us on Episode 18, as Analisa and I sit down with our new friend, engineer and producer Chuck Dixon, mentee of the legendary r&b producer Harmony Samuels to share war stories about this music shit. From Chuck meeting a Liberian artist XVBZ (who he would go on to manage) through the artist's brother while at a dish washing job to my stories of being a sixteen-year-old touring rap artist mak...

This weeks joint, episode 17, was supoosed to be a music episode but it felt insane to me to not address the illegal detention of Mahmoud Khalil so we switched up the program in the eleventh hour. Palestinian American producer and performing artist Deena Falconetti blessed me by coming on last minute. Listen: the entire point of what Trump is doing by sending fucking ICE goons to dissapear a human...

Shit's a ba...

We got the refugee crew back together --- Safia Elhillo, Bahia Watson, and Reef Loretto --- plus Saila Reyes to discuss the current LA fire situation and the new Netflix Documentary "Buy Now: The Shopp...

Listen man, #refugeesarewelcomehere. Safia and I got back to LA and literally saw the Palisades fire from the plane and as soon as we landed LA was in panic mode. Bahia and Reef came to stay with us, we hunkered down, and alhamdulillah we were safe and it was comforting to be together. Analisa had been supposed to literally move to LA that day but obviously cancelled her flight and since she had b...

Fatimah Asghar and I cram into my cousin's old room at my tias house in Queens and get pretty shit faced with the noble intention of talking shit about Baby Girl because it made us extremely angry when we saw it together but I think we drastically underestimated how much fun this was gonna be and also how deep shit was gonna get so just to be perfectly honest with you we don't really get into the...
