Summary

Today on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, Day 4 of #12DaysOfPodcasts, we welcome radio veteran and host of the Brutally Honest podcast, Karlie Hustle to the Upper West Side! We talk about Karlie's youth in Eugene, Oregon, her early jobs at Kinko's and Applebee's, escaping to Portland after a short stint in college, and how finding her way into the hip-hop scene caught Ebro Darden's attention. Karlie discusses her climb up the radio ladder, starting with moving from a top-25 market to the 75th biggest market, and continuing moving down the West Coast, from Salinas to San Diego to Phoenix, what she learned from each stop about herself and the business, and what led her to into work with foster children and the homeless population. Karlie gets into the call from Ebro asking her to make the move to NYC's Hot 97, programming Hot 97's Who's Next series and Summer Jam Festival Stage, radio wars with Power 105, working with Funkmaster Flex and Angie Martinez, and why she ultimately left. All that, plus bigging up local acts, working with Rapsody and 9th Wonder, working for Beats 1 Radio, how motherhood has changed her perspective, why Kendrick Lamar should still do a Who's Next show at SOB's, and much more! PS: Be sure to check out JeezyShop.com for all things Jeezy: his tour, his merch and his new album, Pressure, available now! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to the 12 Days of Podcasts. This series of 12 perfect episodes is brought to you by the good people at Def Jam. Last night, December 15th, GZ dropped his new album pressure and maybe you heard it, but you definitely haven't heard me talk about it enough. You might be wondering, what's the song you want to hear out at the club, Jeff? I'd say track five, this is it. It is low key and hypnotic. I would play it everywhere. The club, the grocery store, those are the only two places I go. You can't ban the snowman, but you can buy the album at gZ shop.com. Hey, Jeff. Hey, Eric.
