Episode #179Big and Lazy is the interview podcast hosted by Big B Fines, where creatives, entrepreneurs, and musicians sit down and actually talk. No surface-level questions, no PR-polished answers. Just real conversations with the people building something worth talking about.From Louisville legends shaping the Black community to independent artists and business owners making moves from the 502, Big and Lazy brings you the stories that matter — uncut and unfiltered.New episodes every week on YouTube, Patreon, and every major audio streaming platform.If you&#39;re tired of interviews that waste your time, Big and Lazy is built for you.Your story deserves a seat.Drizzle 502 of SSD TV is a Louisville-based content creator, interviewer, and digital media personality behind SSD TV. Known for his deep dives into Louisville and Kentucky culture, his commentary on hip-hop news, and his willingness to say what others won&#39;t, Drizzle has conducted over 150 interviews — including a sit-down with Mars before her Mercury Ballroom debut and before she had a full project out. He grew his platform not by chasing volume but by going where the interesting conversations were.Drizzle 502 sits down with Big B Fines for a conversation that pulls no punches. From the street code debate and Gucci Mane&#39;s evolution to Drizzle&#39;s first-person account of the C-Tez viral situation — including why Big should have never put out that apology — this episode covers the real stories Louisville has been waiting to hear told straight. Drizzle also gets into why he believes Louisville desperately needs a documented digital library of its culture, which local artists deserve more attention, and why content creators who won&#39;t spend $30 a month on their craft don&#39;t deserve to be taken seriously.<code>00:00:00 Intro - SSD TV, C-Tez Situation &amp; Episode Preview</code><code>00:01:53 Was Gucci Mane Right to Cooperate?

Episode #177This week we sit down with Gwalla (Gwalla Cartel founder). We discussed his first hit &#34;Trap Swag,&#34; merch strategy, and building regional hip-hop. We talk Leadership Rebrand: How Gwalla transformed Talk of the Town into Gwalla Cartel after key losses, redefining the group&#39;s vision and direction. &#34;You can&#39;t build a fanbase staying in one city.&#34; Gwalla travels to Lexington, Bowling Green, and Paducah to expand reach beyond Louisville. Gwalla prioritizes letting his music speak rather than engaging in clout wars or attention-based beefing. This approach delayed his podcast appearance but ensures authenticity. &#34;Trap Swag&#34; with producer Crackdosja went &#34;triple platinum in the hood&#34; a street-level success metric that matters more than algorithm plays. Following India Love and Nipsey&#39;s Rip Marathon model, Gwalla is pivoting toward brand collaborations and expects fashion to be his next major revenue stream.0:00 - Intro &amp; Opening2:57 - The Rebrand: Taco to Town → Guadalajara Cartel5:00 - Florida Roots: Jacksonville to Louisville (Daughter&#39;s Impact)8:24 - Studying the Game: Road Experience with Sada Baby &amp; Skilla Baby11:47 - The &#34;Cartelthon&#34; Recording Process (Marathon Dom, 808 Beals)20:55 - &#34;Spend the K&#34;: Building Regional Fanbase (Lexington, Bowling Green, Paducah)24:30 - Collaborating with Female Artists (Chin 1, Biddy Bora, Virgo Cage)28:54 - New Music &amp; Production Insights31:58 - Final Message: Work Hard, Stack Dust, Avoid Clout Chasing35:30 - Merch Lane &amp; Brand Ambassador Strategy36:12 - Plugs &amp; &#34;Spend the K&#34; Sign-Off Find us on IG:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/bigandlazypod/" rel="nofollow">@bigandlazypod</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/_bfines/" rel="nofollow">@_bfines</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/gwallacartel/" rel="nofollow">@gwallacartel</a>All episodes are expertly produced by: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/b.haywood8/" rel="nofollow">@b.haywood8 </a><a href="https://bigandlazy.com/" rel="nofollow">Big &amp; Lazy Website</a> Shop Merch: <a href="https://confirmed-multimedia.printify.me/" rel="nofollow">Online Merch Store</a>Want More Exclusive Content &amp; Early Access to every episode? Join our : <a href="https://patreon.com/ConfirmedMultimedia?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink&utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link" rel="nofollow">Patreon</a>Want to start a podcast? - <a href="http://confirmedpod.com" rel="nofollow">confirmedpod.com</a>Share your thoughts, ask questions, and engage with us and our guests!
