From mixtapes to motels, hip hop history to poetry slams, here's part two of Brian Acosta's story. Known online as the "Motel Guy," Brian sits down with hosts Kat Serrano and Jason "Encite" on the Future Ancestors Podcast to talk about his journey from rapping at 15 to meeting Jay-Z at his family's New Jersey motel, to navigating Hollywood, TikTok, and the poetry scene in New York City.

We Talk About:

• Growing up in a motel that became part of hip hop history

• His early rap persona "Eilis" and the influence of MTV culture

• Lessons in rejection, resilience, and finding peace in solitude

• Hosting at the legendary Nuyorican Poets Café and building community through art

• Why he gives back freely without chasing brand deals or merch

• What it means to leave a blueprint as a future ancestor

Brian's story is raw, funny, and deeply human, a reminder that legacy isn't built by perfection, but by showing up with honesty, care, and love. Listen in and discover how Brian is his blueprint for the next generation.
