021 - Can You Get Me A Job Or Nah? (04/14/25)

What up what up you filthy animals. This one is a banger. Analisa was sick and had to abdicate co-host duties and was sorely missed. We open with a song called "Black Dress" that me and Ebonie Smith are working on, E, blessed us with some live piano. Then TV Writer and comedian Anna Salinas (who I wrote on Season 2 of Mo with) came in and blessed us with the secrets of Latino Hollywood.

Fuck the New York Crimes but yoooo shorty wrote an extremely dope piece called "Ode To A Gen Z Situationship" that y'all HAVE to check out:

After my conversation with Anna, our illustrious musical guest, the biiiiiiig homie Benjamin Earl Turner played us two new joints hot off the press.

Brief Note:

The gift and the curse of this show is that we have a three day turn around from shooting to broadcast and so unfortunately we weren't able to get the instrumental file for his two joints in time but honestly they sound incredible acapella to me and I encourage y'all to get in the comments and tell Ben he's gotta come back on the show ASAP!

After the songs, Ebonie had left her purse and came back up so she ended up co-hosting the music interview and the conversation was honestly thrilling. This is the shit I live for you guys.

And finally we open up "The Proving Ground" segment with a beat by guest producer Virgo followed by my man Hisham Fageeh on the ones and two's, joined by special guest emcees Firefly and Merc 80. Firefly, Merc 80, and Benjamin Earl Turner smoked me you guys. I gotta get back in the gym. Jesus Christ!!!!!

Anyways shit was stupid fun. And yo: if any LA-based emcees think they can hang and wanna come thru to "The Proving Ground" DM me on IG @mirachrisgabo
