This episode will uncover what's been going on with me over the past few months as I have been less consistent with podding and content creation. I have come back from Vancouver feeling renewed and I WILL create consistently again. This is the soft-launch but don't tell anybody yet! Keep it on the low.
I missed you all and new episodes on Tuesdays!!

I am BACK with the interviews and I have a very special guest for this episode: my homie Thom! He founded a collective called Grimey is a collective centred around music, art, and fashion. The brand pulls from Thom's love for Punk, Hip Hop, and inclusivity. Also their clothing is fire too. Trippie Redd and Denzel Curry have been spotted donning Grimey threads. If you want valuable insight on how to start your own brand or collective and how to thrive in your scene, tap in!

WHAT IS GOOD! It's been a while. This is the 33rd episode, NOT THE 31ST. I cannot believe I made this mistake but it is what it is. While I have your attention I've included a link to a cause that I think needs more funding and support. Crystal Mason is currently imprisoned for casting a ballot when she was unaware that she couldn't and was not informed she couldn't at the ballot. She is serving a harsh 5 year sentence. But here are the links below:

In this episode I talk about BLM and a good chunk of what's been going on lately around the world. Hope you enjoy this episode and I will see you all VERY soon. I promise. I won't go on a two month break this time!!!

This is the 25th instalment of the Fill-in.... Hold up, is that..... A NAME CHANGE?? Well yes, yes it is. It's now known as Naoto's Interlude Podcast formerly known as the Fill-In-The-Blank Interlude Podcast.
This episode I am joined by a good homie, a special homie named Rufaro Mupanguri. He is your guy if you're trying to talk business, data, and finances. He is ALSO your guy if you're trying to talk music, sports, and the culture. In this rendition we discuss Future being the Beyonce for men, TI's debacle involving his daughter, the Raptors, student loans, and entrepreneurship. We talk a lot of shit but there's an equal amount of jewels you could get from this. So sit back, open your pineal gland, and enjoy this episode.

Wait what??? Is this a new show on the horizon???
This is the DEBUT of a new interview series called the "Interlude Interviews", a slight spinoff the the OG podcast series but still great entertainment nonetheless. This week I have two very very talented and bubbling hustlers, Layla Gill-Desjardins and Kali Gill-Desjardins. They are siblings and are esteemed members of the #GillGang. This episode we talk about their upbringing, having what it takes to make it, and the importance of diversification.
Got a great episode this week so just sit back and enjoy the conversations!

I'm trying something a bit different today and I'm pulling up from 25ft with an album review! This week, I am reviewing Care Package by Drake. The project is a compilation of songs he has released over the years but have not found a home on official releases other than a couple tracks that made it on as bonus tracks. The songs were released over a span of 7 years and reflect the stylistic changes that Drake's music has taken over the years. These tracks serve as nostalgic markers throughout this decade and although, I have heard all of these tracks before, I was in for a surprise.
This. Is. The. Second BEST. Drake album of all time. FACTS. How? Listen to this review to find out!
