    Welcome back to the smoking section. This week on HT, our host, D.Floyd (@floydworld) sat down with two of the hottest new names coming out of the DMV. J’Ta (@justjta) has laid her foundation for years as a singer and songwriter but over the last 6 months, we’ve seen her rise to local notoriety. She discussed everything from her decision to be a “free agent” in Go-Go to her recent viral moments taking the city by storm. She broke down the pros and cons of being a woman in a male dominated industry and how she’s making her own mark in it. Chink (chinkdachamp) is an incredible lyricist with his own unique story to back him up. Incarcerated at 20 years old for armed robbery, the young rapper was able to transform his situation into a blossoming career as a recording artist and actor. With an upcoming film and new music on the way, Chink will definitely leave you impressed. This is one of those episodes you might run back again and again. Be back soon 💭

Donnii P has built a name for herself across the globe with her unique style of social commentary that has resonated with millions on social media.

From her early start on Bulture Podcast with CEO Mikey up until the moment her first post went viral and eventually stolen from B.Simone, we covered it all. From there the conversation shifted to her current projects including the ill fated podcast tour with Internet personality, Truth Hurts, who has recently been accused of damning allegations. Donnie P didn’t back down at all as she explained her perspective on the situation and introduced her plans to continue her podcast. From pedophilia in Hip-Hop to dating do’s and don’ts in the industry, HT covered it all. This episode did what it was supposed to do. The price just went up. Be back next week.

  • Change The Game featuring Charles “Boobie” King

    Change The Game featuring Charles “Boobie” King
    Jan 3 2024
    We're back again with a new HT that can't be missed. This week a legend in a few games came to chop it up with our host, D.Floyd in the smoking section. After being institutionalized most of his early adulthood , Charles King, affectionately known as "Boobie" , made a conscious decision to transform his life into a true instrument of hope. As an activist, mentor, mediator, entrepreneur, philanthropist and father, Boobie has become a standout as a leader in the efforts to reinstill hope in the neighborhoods that once taught him to be a man. As the founder of Helping Others With Life, a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting underserved communities, and an ambassador for the Meek Mill backed,"Reform" , HT took every turn imaginable. King painted a vivid picture of life in DC at the height of the Murder Capital era in the 80s and 90s while Floyd explored the differences from those times compared to today. From policies, policing and principles, this conversation is something you need to see.

  • King Of The DMV Featuring Big Flock

    King Of The DMV Featuring Big Flock
    Dec 20 2023
    New week. New dope in the streets. This time HT is back with another classic conversation from our host D.Floyd. Our guest in the smoking section really doesn’t need an introduction. As one of the originators of what many have described as the “DMV Flow”, Big Flock has been a consistent presence in the DC area music scene for close to a decade. With many highs and lows throughout his career, Flock has proved his worth by staying relevant and real through it all. From repping PG County, MD to expanding his brand internationally, this episode was no different. Floyd and Flock discussed the current state of rap in the DMV and the effects that it’s had on the city as a whole. With violence surging, they broke down the role that rappers play in the results. Flock talked about his origins into rap including his time collaborating with Thraxxx and other artists like Shy Glizzy and the controversy that came with that. The biggest difference between local and national success and where he sees himself in comparison to other artists in his genre of rap. This conversation went everywhere from mental health and coping skills to legacy and parenthood. Guaranteed this won’t be close to what you’re expecting. A few fans wrote in their comments and questions for our “RollUp” segment and Floyd gets out on the spot like never before. This one might just do a million. You can’t miss this. Be back next week.
