What's up party people in a place to be.

This is the BKMC, the M CEO, Taly, and you are watching the world's best podcast, People's Party,

how you're doing?

I'm live in Los Angeles right now. And recently I had the pleasure of performing and participating in a Grammy celebration of hip-hop, particularly 90s hip-hop, particularly the 90s type of hip-hop that I grew up listening to when I felt honored and blessed to be on that stage because a lot of those groups on stage for me,
