Episode 13 of UHTN, we have our guy, Brooklyn's own Ryan Witherspoon!

We talk about his come-up and transition from R&B to Rap, his views on the current state of NY rap, his business acumen, and his love of sneakers and cars.

WE HAVE BLOG ERA LEGEND, AROUND THE HORN LEGEND, ESPN TALKING HEAD LEGEND, ANDSCAPE WRITER, HBCU ALUM, and all around good guy JUSTIN TINSLEY!

We discuss his year-long cultural examination of the Super Bowl called "The American Carnival", some of our favorite video games, Jay albums, rap beef, and then a quick conversation of the top 5 greatest Jamaicans of all time.

In this episode, we sit down with two of the most influential architects in the modern music industry: Quinelle “Coach Q” Holder and George “G-Man” Waters. From managing PR for Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and Pusha T to booking legends like Wu-Tang Clan and J. Cole, these two have seen it all. Now, they’ve joined forces to launch Label Services Unlimited (LSU)—a game-changing venture designed to give independent artists the power of a major label without the handcuffs. We dive deep into the "DMV to the World" movement, the reality of artist branding in 2026, and why the live stage is still the ultimate litmus test for stardom.

On this episode, we sit down with Brooklyn's own Hansum Rell. Known for his sharp lyricism and a flow that commands attention, Rell is more than just an artist on the rise—he is a survivor.

We dive deep into his upbringing from basketball star to rap star. Rell opens up about the emotional weight of gaining everything he wanted, only to lose it all, and how those moments of pain forged the discipline he now brings to the studio.

We also break down his connection to G-Eazy, how that led to his new single, "Breaking News," and what he has coming up in 2026.

This week, we sit down with Southside Jamaica, Queens native Kyah Baby. Known as a "rapper's rapper," Kyah has built a loyal following by prioritizing sharp lyricism and authentic storytelling over the hyper-sexualized image often demanded of female artists today.

We discuss her journey from viral freestyles (Funk Flex, Sway) to gaining the respect of heavy hitters like 50 Cent. Kyah opens up about the hurdles she’s overcome—including her time in prison and the loss of her brother—and how those experiences shaped the grit found in her latest project, the deluxe edition of Everybody Can't Come.
