Hitmaka joins the room to talk about the producers of this generation, the work ethic required to stay relevant in the music industry, and the aftermath of viral moments that can change an artist’s career overnight. The crew also dives into his underrated artist list and why certain names never get the credit they deserve. The discussion then shifts into bigger conversations around life, relationships, and mindset. From the controversial $50K conversation and why it triggered so many people, to the right time to build financially, monogamy, women as counsel, and whether people are attracting the right energy into their lives. The crew also talks about reprogramming your algorithm, planning an exit strategy, family decisions, and what it really takes to build something meaningful today. To close the episode, the conversation turns to current events and wild internet topics — including tensions around Iran, Bill and Hillary Clinton’s testimony connected to the Epstein files, Floyd Mayweather announcing a third fight in 2026, and the dumbest myths people still believe today. As always, Black Out delivers unfiltered opinions, cultural commentary, and conversations you won’t hear anywhere else.
