Summary

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome Nadeska Alexis, co-host of Complex News' runaway hit show Everyday Struggle, to the Upper West Side! Nadeska discusses her childhood move from Grenada to Brooklyn, her mother's strict rules, being shy and reserved through high school, and begging her way out of town and to the snowy confines of Binghamton University. Nadeska talks early interviews with Wale, J. Cole, and Kid Cudi for Blackbook Magazine, putting together MTV's Hottest MCs list which got Kanye so heated he screamed on Sway, and making her big move to join Complex. Oh, and yes, you loser commenters, Nadeska talks Ak, Joe, Migos, Vic Mensa, Yachty and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
