A rtists need to take it more seriously - instead of it being a hobby, they need to look at it more as a business. “ ”

L: How did that come about? C: “Talk It Out Tuesday” was a concept that I came up with because of COVID. People couldn’t perform their music, they were limited as far as what they could do, how they could do it. What ended up happening is that it caught the attention of a lot of major artists because of my affiliation already with Jaz-O the Originator (Jay-Z Mentor) as his manager. I began to get different artists that came aboard and were really interested in interviewing. It’s mostly been a lot of music. I want to get more into business and politics, things of that nature. On this show, it’s myself and then I have three deejays that co-host the show DJ Double L out of Chicago, DJ Disspare out of Winnipeg, Canada and DJ K Twist. Who runs our team out in Africa. The rest of the “Come Clean Takeover Radio” show consists of my DJs, all of them doing their own thing, bringing and promoting and pushing artists from different parts of their world. Along with playing the mainstream music, you’ll bring in a couple of independents and put them into the mix so that they can be heard and they can get that exposure. L: Let’s chat a little bit about the Madison community. C: Our market has a huge opportunity to become an actual industry of its own. What needs to be done is that on a local level, we need to really buckle down and focus on education. With these people, with artists, with writers, with anyone involved in the industry itself, on any level, whether it be TV, music, whatever it is, whatever genre it is. We just need to have more seminars, more education. Artists need to take it more seriously - instead of it being a hobby, they need to look at it more as a business. In a business, you have to have a budget. And know where you’re going to place that budget and the purpose behind it, you know, so that other people can take you seriously outside of Madison. And you can go and help. Bring the industry to the 608, which is in essence my whole goal. Everyone wants to move out of the 608 to go and pursue the dream. But my whole thing is, why move? Why move?If everybody is moving we will never have nothing here. So why move? I was offered to move out to New York. Of course, it would be a lot easier. But I didn’t take it. And a lot of people are like why? And I look at them and I say, so that we can have life here. Why not bring the knowledge and the wisdom that I learned from other markets here and implement it properly so that we can start doing our own thing here, we can become our own powerhouse. I want it where we can say Madison and they will say, Yeah, I know about Madison. New York really got its name because of the music, then everybody wanted to go to New York to pursue their dreams. L.A., same thing, all of that. Why can’t Madison do the same thing?
