Sober Soldiers, we’ve milled about the business of music most from an artist point of view and to their benefit. Today we get to hear the labels view. We headed over to Hallmark House to have a sit down with [STAY LOW] label heads Vaughn Thiel and Fred Kayembe on what keeps them going, how it is running a label. We also got to hear about some disputes that they heard with artists and how they handle stuff like that. There’s a lot of knowledge darts being thrown on this one. Press play and enjoy

Hey y’all! We’re back with another dope episode of Behind the Mic: Powered by REVOLT Podcast Network. This time, I’m chopping it up with Wangechi from the Untitled Africans Podcast. If you were at REVOLT World, you know Wangechi and her co-host Brian bring that real, and now we’re digging even deeper.

“I’m spreading a good word that I feel like people to hear, and so I’m just kind of learning to embrace that.” – Wangechi Warui

Wangechi opens up about her journey from Nairobi to ATL, her passion for storytelling, acting, and being a “professional yapper” on the mic with her unapologetically uppity African takes. Trust me, this convo is one you don’t want to miss.

What’s up, y’all! Welcome to the premiere of Behind the Mic: Powered by REVOLT Podcast Network! I’m your host, Wize Grazette—community manager, podcast enthusiast, and your guide through the incredible stories of our podcasters.

“I speak in memes, okay? I speak in memes. The girls who know, know!” – Brian Kamotho

For this first episode, I’m kicking things off with Brian from the Untitled Africans Podcast. We met at REVOLT World and now we’re diving into what makes Brian tick—from his Kenyan roots and ATL upbringing to his journey in social media, fashion photography, and building community.

Brian keeps it real as we explore his creative passions, love for avant-garde fashion, and the challenges and triumphs of being a “chief enjoyment officer.” This conversation is filled with gems, laughs, and a taste of what it means to be an “uppity African” in the podcast space.
