St Clair Du-Berry — better known as Saint Dub — has one of those stories you can feel in the records.

Raised in Morrow, Georgia, he found his voice as “the loudest kid in the choir,” moved into musical theatre (The Wiz at 12), then into the TV grind: auditions in LA, stand-in and photo-double work on Earth to Echo, Disney XD’s TRY-athlon and more. Along the way he lost both parents, relocated again, and turned all of it into deeply personal rap records.

In this episode we cover:

• Growing up in Atlanta’s suburbs and finding music in the church
• Moving from Orlando to LA and learning the industry from the inside
• The story behind The Glitch, “Vitamin B12” and recording with his mother
• Processing grief and faith on his new album Sermons
• Building experimental cuts like “I Live Forever” and sampling UK artist RAYE
• Why he keeps “Saint” in his name and tries to offer perspective in every verse

On this episode of the BeatsToRapOn Podcast, Lance Romance tells the never-before-told story of how Andy Gibb changed his life – from skating rink crush music to a real-life encounter in LA, and a promise he’s still determined to keep.

We cover Lance’s journey from New York to Texas and back, how Motown, Bee Gees, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson all shaped his ear, and why he became “the Bee Gees of rap” – a pop-leaning, musically trained rapper inside a rougher, sample-driven hip-hop world. Listen here or checkout the Podcast Video here https://youtu.be/jmdmXgXZLOg?si=GHBWKg7fu7ZLhonp

Lance breaks down:

• 🎵 Pop vs Motown swing – how Bee Gees, Andy Gibb and disco shaped his cadence and songwriting
• 🥁 From marching band to drum machines – xylophone, snare, tim-toms, then LinnDrum, SP-12, Casio, Korg and programming
• 🎤 Being ‘too polite’ for rap – why his Texas upbringing, clear diction and musicianship made him an outlier in NYC hip-hop
• 💿 The label move that blocked his album “Life of a Showgirl (R&B Mixes)” because it clashed with Taylor Swift’s title
• 🏛 Why indie platforms like BeatsToRapOn matter when majors can pause or reshape releases
• 🌟 Tower Records, Sunset Strip – meeting Andy Gibb during the Raising Hell Tour (Run DMC, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Houdini)
• ⚠️ The Long Beach Arena riot – why it was a blessing Andy never made it to that rap show
• 🌴 Miami, Def Jam tour & the promise – wanting Andy on his first album and promising to remake “I Wanna Be Your Everything” and “Shadow Dancing”
• 💔 Processing Andy’s death and why Lance still feels a responsibility to honor his legacy properly
• 💿 The Sensation EP – a Studio-54-flavored disco EP featuring Bee Gees/Donna Summer influence, planned for a major-label release
• 🎥 The tribute vision – shooting videos for “I Wanna Be Your Everything” and “Shadow Dancing” in Australia with Andy’s daughter involved creatively
• 🎄 What’s next – the “Lance Romance: 50 Albums, One Show Girl” Tour (2026) and his house-meets-rap holiday project Christmas on Ice

This episode is a love letter to disco, Bee Gees, Andy Gibb, band kids and indie creators who refuse to play by the traditional rules.

From grandma Beatrice to radio spins—finding a unique voice, stage confidence, kids’ books, and a new film role.

Southern soul/country-soul artist Matt B sits down with BeatsToRapOn to trace the roots of his sound: living-room sing-alongs with grandma Beatrice (the “B” in his name), choir and church training, and that first studio session at 21. He breaks down the grind of staying consistent, turning nerves into performance energy, and crafting records that move dance floors and trail rides alike.

We dive into song stories for “Stepping Boots,” “Step My Way,” “Friday Weekend Joy,” and the slow-burn favorite “Don’t Want to Leave.” Plus: the “Hello, I’m Matt B” coloring book for kids, an upcoming “Step My Way” book, and a new indie film.

Atlanta-raised and church-shaped, Tramaine Long is a minister, rapper, producer, mixing engineer—and a testament to sticking with the craft.

He started with FL Studio and a $20 mic, spent years sounding like everyone else, and then did the hard work to sound like himself.

We talk about the DJ Drama-era lesson (influence ≠ imitation), vocal coaching and production reps, and how he treats AI (Suno) as a workflow accelerator—not a replacement for skill.

Tramaine opens up about the dream that sparked his album “Legendary” (“It’s time for you to be legendary”) and the indie discipline behind a release that cleared 300K+ streams in its first three days. If you’re building a catalog and a life at the same time—this one’s for you.

Topics:
• Origins: ATL, church, FL Studio, the sock pop-filter
• Finding your sound vs. sounding like your heroes
• AI as a tool (Suno) without losing your identity
• Workflow, speed, and staying present for family
• Albums & growth: Clear (2015), R & G: A Love Story (2020), Legendary (2025)
• Faith, obedience, and the “Legendary” mindset for indie artists

From Brooklyn roots to a South Carolina grind, D-Future breaks down the come-up: battle-rap origins, pen-game obsession, and the GHNS ethos—Grind Hard, Never Sleep. We talk the 90s NYC DNA (Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, Nas), Southern takeover energy (Wayne, T.I., Jeezy), building a brand from lunch-table ciphers to league nights, and why his music hits like a hustler’s soundtrack. He drops the story behind first singles, a live verse from “Bright as a Star,” and teases the upcoming GHNS project. If you love competitive lyricism, independent strategy, and motivational rap built for the gym and the grind, lock in.
