Whatâs up Classmates,
In this Class Discussion we invited Eric & Jeff from Itsthereal, Eric & Jeff are brothers based in New York City, theyâve been in the hip-hop scene for over a decade, from doing sketch comedy videos, to selling their self-titled show to MTV and releasing their own debut album where theyâve performed sold-out shows in NYC, London & LA. We discovered Eric & Jeff by tuning in their Chat-topping interview podcast âA Waste of Timeâ theyâve interviewed everyone from Common, Mac Miller, Trevor Noah, Tierra Wack, Joe Freshgoods, Cam Kirk & many many more. ⣠âŁ
In this discussion we spoke about the come up story of Eric & Jeff, being both student of the hip-hop game, Jeff got his early start by meeting a guy named Kanye West, He became his personal videographer at the beginning stages of Kanyeâs career, he got to document some of Kanyeâs biggest moments like his 2005 first Grammy award, Eric worked as a writer for HBO & AOL comedy, we spoke about their early comedy sketch videos, some of their legendary interviews & everything theyâve accomplished so far on their journey.
These guys are the reason why we started Class Discussion, theyâve inspired us to create & launch our own interview show. It was fun as a fan to interview the interviewers, theyâve got such a unique approach to their craft, theyâve got a dynamic charisma & chemistry together, this discussion was super insightful for us, They shared a lot of tips on how to launch a podcast but overall thereâs just so much to learn from their creative process & their whole trajectory. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we did & hopefully leave with some knowledge or a spark of inspiration.

In this Class Discussion we invited LA based rapper, Kayo Genesis, Kayo released his debut album in 2018 called Bad Sushi, one of his songs got discovered on SoundCloud by AminĂ©, he loved it so much that he invited Kayo on tour with him & Buddy. They sold out venues all over the US & Canada. Ever since then Heâs been constantly expanding his music catalogue along with curating compelling music videos directed & edited entirely by himself. âŁ
In this discussion we spoke about Kayoâs come up story, him working behind the music scene as a dancer, writing songs for big time artists like Mary J Blige, directing & shooting music videos, he spoke about ditching the offer to participate in the Netflix show Rhythm & Flow to focus on his music trajectory. I truly appreciate Kayoâs approach to his craft, the music is refreshing & diverse, from his vocals, melodies to his bars and but also the world heâs built with his music videos, Kayo is a true multidisciplinary artist & innovator. Not only is he talented but has a great perspective on life, he shared his thoughts on Manifestation & speaking his dreams into existence.
