The indoor festival experience was beyond dope and we just so happened to record our podcast live for nearly 4 hours! For the first part of the conversation they actually go to the end of the night where they caught up with Allen Thomas . What Str8OutDaDen thought would be 15-20 minutes ended up lasting over an hour and its pure gold! They talked everything from opening up for Devin The Dude to top five emcees and producers. He even turn the interview on Str8OutDaDen and started asking questions. So you know the drill...sit back...Relax and Listen! ***Thanks to Str8OutDaDen for sending***

Thanks for checking out another episode of The Str8OutDaDen Podcast . News broke earlier this week that J.I.D signed with J. Cole 's Dreamville Records . That got my brain moving and thought it would be a good idea to take you back to a conversation we had with the Spillage Village emcee back in 2013. Oh did Str8OutDaDen mentioned they got some bars from him too?  So you know the drill...sit back...Relax and Listen! ***Thanks to Str8OutDaDen for sending***

The Str8OutDaDen Podcast sends it's 1st EVER podcast with Layla Martinez . With her LALALand project scheduled to drop soon, Str8OutDaDen felt it was perfect timing to reintroduce the world to her. They also like to officially announce our partnership with Indie Creative Network . They've been working together in the background from quite some time now, but today is the official first episode together. Enjoy!

Now that we are literally days away from a new year, Str8OutDaDen felt they should go out with a bang on The Str8OutDaDen Podcast . So instead of having people call in, J.Good went through his phone and made a few calls to see who would pick up. After getting a surprise call from his mother (who asked a pretty good question), they proceeded to talk with Jabee , DiV.W , Abib Jahleel , Jimmy Hennec , Barz Damu of Flymind Poets and J.Good 's homeboy Courtney from back home. Great convos here and you Lazies even got some background history on my life via my boy Rob lol. So you know the drill...Sit Back...Relax and Listen! ***Thanks to Str8OutDaDen for sending***

This week's podcast was inspired by a Facebook post from King Jai . He dropped some much needed knowledge about why you shouldn't have your crew on stage during your performance.

We explain why its a distraction and then drop a tactic that will make your next live show much more appealing. ***Thanks to Str8OutDaDen for sending***
