  • Corey Holcomb & Anton Daniels Beef Explained — Why This Went Left

    Corey Holcomb & Anton Daniels Beef Explained — Why This Went Left
    Feb 2 2026

    Loon breaks down the Corey Holcomb vs Anton Daniels situation and explains why the internet’s “stand on it” culture creates traps for men with reputations. What starts as “disrespect” turns into a bigger conversation about masculinity, restraint, public image, and why corporate spaces tolerate certain energy from some people — but punish it from others. This episode isn’t just about the argument — it’s about the expectations placed on Black men to perform toughness on demand, and how words, ego, and audience pressure can push situations into the wrong lane.

  • “The Kid Are Off-Limits” Feat Tracy T (Part-1)

    “The Kid Are Off-Limits” Feat Tracy T (Part-1)
    Jan 28 2026
    Tracy T sits down with Loon on It’s Up There Podcast to address the Kash Doll and Za’Darius Smith breakup, the viral tuition post, and the online backlash that followed. After Kash Doll and NFL player Za’Darius Smith publicly split, social media reactions exploded — especially after Tracy T made comments about paying tuition, which led to heavy criticism, blog coverage, and direct responses from Kash Doll herself. In this interview, Tracy T explains what actually happened, why the situation escalated, and how private family matters turned into public controversy. Tracy T also speaks on Big Jook, his connection to CMG, and why conversations around Memphis feel different following the Young Dolph trial. He breaks down how street realities, industry politics, and internet narratives collided at the same time, creating one of the most talked-about situations online. This episode provides full context around the Kash Doll situation, the Za’Darius Smith drama, and Tracy T’s role in the conversation — directly from the source, without blog speculation.

  • Fivio Foreign & New York, Be Honest | Its Up There Podcast Episode 243

    Fivio Foreign & New York, Be Honest | Its Up There Podcast Episode 243
    Jan 26 2026

    In this solo episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Loon breaks down the real conversation behind Fivio Foreign’s appearance on DJ Akademiks, the fallout involving 21 Savage, and the growing debate around the phrase “F the Streets.”

    What starts as a viral moment turns into a much bigger discussion about power, perception, ownership, and regional tension in hip-hop.

    Loon reacts to Fivio Foreign questioning the value of Southern artists and blog coverage, explains why so many rappers chase posts instead of profit, and unpacks how platforms like Akademiks shape narratives without paying artists for their IP. He also addresses the South vs North dynamic, why Atlanta continues to be the industry’s backbone, and how fame often gets mistaken for leverage.

    This episode also explores:
    • Why being posted on blogs doesn’t translate to music sales
    • The confusion between “street identity” and grown-man business
    • How artists give away power chasing clout
    • Why silence gets mistaken for weakness
    • Nipsey Hussle’s legacy vs today’s “street” conversations
    • Why the South doesn’t need validation to run the game

    This isn’t a defense of anyone — it’s a breakdown of the system, the incentives, and the misunderstanding driving these viral moments.

    If you’re looking for real perspective on Akademiks, Fivio Foreign, 21 Savage, Atlanta, hip-hop economics, blog culture, street narratives, and ownership, this episode puts everything into context.

    TOPICS DISCUSSED

    • Fivio Foreign on DJ Akademiks
    • 21 Savage and the “F the Streets” conversation
    • South vs North tension in hip-hop
    • Atlanta’s role in controlling music culture
    • Blog clout vs real money
    • Why artists beg for posts
    • IP, leverage, and ownership
    • Street talk vs business reality
    • Nipsey Hussle and elevation past the streets
