    Ever wondered what it takes to Hype up your summer with the perfect beats? In this episode, we have the pleasure of welcoming back JHype, the mastermind behind our new podcast intro, to discuss his highly anticipated mixtape, "HYPETAPE VOL. 1" dropping June 28th. J-Hype unveils the creative journey behind this summer-perfect mixtape and talks about the thrill of releasing the singles "SMACK DAT SH!T" and "WOODS" ahead of the full project. Get insights into the collaborative efforts, the inspiration for these vibrant tracks, and the positive reactions from fans that have fueled his excitement.

    Navigating the music industry can be a rollercoaster, and he shares his personal journey of evolving as an artist. From initial doubts about the "TikTok worthiness" of his music to confidently embracing his unique creative process, this segment is packed with reflections and future plans. We'll explore his aspirations for experimenting with genres like R&B, producing more content, and even potentially branching into acting. And, of course, there's a humorous look back at a show where he was hilariously mistaken for a country artist, underscoring his commitment to keeping hip-hop roots alive with projects like "Hometown Hero."

    Balancing a public career and private life is no easy feat. J-Hype emphasizes the importance of maintaining privacy in today's digital age, sharing how he protects his personal life for sanity and security. We'll dive into the quirky world of Wattpad fan fiction and the unexpected attention that comes with fame. With candid discussions on the impact of bold album covers, the support of family and friends, and the relentless pursuit of creative passion, this episode is a heartfelt celebration of the resilience, dedication, and love that drive our artistic journeys.

    In today's episode, your favorite consistently inconsistent podcast host, Leilani Raine, has returned with plenty to share on every emotional level possible. Lei gets real intimate when discussing a range of topics from coming out of her shell professionally, navigating life with two different brains, her Tiktok tarot card reading psychosis, her openness to friendships, and much more. Being able to discuss relatively heavy subjects while making herself laugh is one of her strong suits, and it truly shows in this episode. Despite shedding tears, this episode is one of the lightest, funniest episodes recorded to date.

    Have you noticed Lei mainly speaks on the past, future, or on specific topics? Maybe you've picked up on the fact that in every episode she very rarely, and briefly, discusses what's going on in her life at that current moment. I have actual news for you: She's done gatekeeping (for this episode only, not too much now.) so in today's episode, she finally talks about her everyday life, thoughts, observations, and experiences with her loyal listeners. Instead of having a set topic, she lets her mind roam through the halls of thoughts she's been excited to share for when she finally felt ready too.

  • 18. every mother has a wild side ft Mama Cori
    Jul 20 2023

    text me what you thought of today's episode! give me all the details ⭑.ᐟ

    Who was your mom before she became your mom? Think about your closest friends/peers who might have kids now but were a completely different person before their little ball of joy came along. Some had a slight change but not my mama.. Mama Cori went through experiences you wouldn't even imagine her to have been through just by looking at her. In today's episode, Lei is joined by her mother who talks about going to AA at 11 years old, getting into fights with boys and girls in middle/high school, micro-dosing, her multiple surgeries, and she talks about how cancer impacted her physical health yet she still keeps a positive mindset. You thought that was it? Leilani gets her mother's raw reaction to telling her about some of the experiences she went through.

  • 17. dark memory lane ft Justin Bieber(?)
    Jul 6 2023

    text me what you thought of today's episode! give me all the details ⭑.ᐟ

    Did Lei really chat with Justin Bieber and help name a song on his 'Journals' album? Who did she role-play as on instagram? A year later, how did getting catfished lead her to be escorted out of a mall by police? How did all of this start on Kik? On today's episode, your podcast cousin relives a few confusing, dark memories from 7th grade (specifically) in order to make space for new memories that may arise. With Lei's limited brain capacity, dumping stories of this size are necessary for storage maintenance. Come hang out while we get blunt about how what having access to messaging apps at a young age exposed Lei too.

  • 16. how's your relationship with sex?
    Jun 22 2023

    text me what you thought of today's episode! give me all the details ⭑.ᐟ

    Alright, we’re 15 episodes deep and have yet to discuss Lei’s relationship with all things rated B for Bedroom. We get real blunt on today’s episode by discussing her confusion with asexuality, hyper-sexualizing herself as a teenager, comparing lack of experience with sex for men and women, and much more. Whether you’ve had bad experiences, good experiences, or haven’t even had one yet, there’s so much to learn from yourself during each stage in your life. Lei talks about how she utilized her confusion to get answers to questions that would eventually aide her in having a safe, comfortable relationship with fornication (I didn’t want to use the word sex again, I’m tired).
