Welcome to the Sports Motivation Podcast. This is your host, Nees-Shobo. Today is a brand new series that we're doing on this sports motivation podcast that will be released once a week, and I'm super, super excited about it. And I think you guys are going to love it as well. And let me explain what it is. All right. So I'm going to explain the name because it's very, very important and basically explains the essence behind why I chose to do this.

So growing up, I was one of four boys and we were very much influenced by hip hop culture.

We had our own little lingo.

We would add our own shit to it as well.

And we had our own little slang, right?

And one of the things that we had always say, especially my big brother, Delay, he took

a lot of pride in this.

All right? So let's say there was an artist that I had never heard before. Like, for example,

there's a rap group called Slum Village. And before my brother showed me Slum Village, I did not know

who Slum Village were. So he would come home with a CD and he would be playing and I'd be like, oh man, this is cold.

What is this?

And he's like, this is Slum Village.

And at that point, what Dele would say is that he put me up on game.

He put me up on Slum Village.

That means he introduced me to Slum Village and that's why I'm now a fan.

So Dele, particularly my brother Dele, he would take a lot of pride in that. So he would

make sure, like if you had never tasted a certain flavor or something and he showed it to you,

he wants you to know, yo, I put you up on that. I put you up on game. All right? So let me give you

some more examples. When I was in college, my roommate Isaiah, I had never heard of Jay Cole before, right? And Jay Cole

happens to be in my top 10 artists. He's a dope artist. And I really like Jay Cole now. He's

killing the game. But I remember back when no one really heard of Jay Cole and I hadn't heard

him either. And my friend Isaiah put me up on Jay Cole. He put me up on game. He also put me up on Waleigh as well.
