After experiencing the kind of back-to-back heartbreak that could break anyone, Nitty Scott said ya basta. She was forced to pause everything, including the rollout of her project Jiggy Mami. In this conversation, she shares how trying to push through the pain only masked it, and why choosing rest, therapy, and truth over performance became her only option.

We dive into what it really takes to manage yourself as a mujer in music, from booking gigs and budgeting to building a team, and why “f**k you money” isn’t just about success. For Nitty, financial freedom means safety, especially for women trying to escape toxic situations. She shares that during her time managing herself, she made more money and gained more opportunities than ever before—proof that going independent doesn’t mean losing power, it means taking it back.

She also opens up about being told to downplay her Puerto Rican roots and hide her relationships, even being discouraged from dating Kendrick Lamar, all in the name of being “marketable.”

Now she’s reclaiming every part of who she is: queer, Black, Boricua—sin miedo. When asked what message she’d leave for the next generation of Latinas and creatives who feel unseen, Nitty said:

“To live out loud because your existence in itself is important in a system that doesn’t want you.”

From writing poetry in her childhood bedroom to surviving abuse and chasing her dream in NYC at 16, Nitty’s story is a blueprint for healing, evolving, and never letting the world erase you.

DJ Jadaboo went from spinning in her bedroom to DJing Paris Hilton’s Coachella party—and that’s just the beginning.

In this week’s episode, she chats with us about growing up Black and Mexican in a small California town, navigating mental health, and how music became her safe space and her calling.

What you’ll hear:

The story behind her viral rise during the pandemic

“Girl, I posted myself online, it went viral... and it kind of spiraled upward into being a full-time career... but I've been doing it for almost 10 years now.”

DJing for Kendrick Lamar, Kehlani, and Latinx House at Sundance

What it’s like feeling caught between cultures—and owning both

“I’m proud to be both a Mexican American and a Black woman. I know who I am.”

What she’s calling in for 2025 (and why it’s deeper than just gigs)

If you’ve ever felt like you had to prove where you’re from or who you are, this episode is your reminder: your raíces and your rhythm are your power. You don’t need to shrink to fit the room. You already belong in it.

Ever tried to create something beautiful while everything around you felt like it was falling apart? That’s exactly what Immasoul did with her debut album Pistola. In this episode, she opens up about losing both of her parents during the writing process, growing into her sound, and trusting herself every step of the way. She talks about blending Afrobeats, regional Mexicano, and trap—her way, no formulas. From tequila-fueled studio nights with PJ Sin Suela to writing for Godfather of Harlem and landing in Rolling Stone, Immasoul lets us in on what it really took to make this album. If you’ve ever made something out of pain, or felt yourself changing while chasing a dream, this one’s for you.
