Tonight on The Talk Nola, we sit down with B3NTLY — the Slidell artist reshaping his lane through storytelling, emotional honesty, and genre-bending energy. From freestyling in sixth grade to leading 9ate5 Ent., B3NTLY breaks down his evolution, his deep ties to YND and the local scene, and how inspirations like Juice WRLD, Eminem, Ski Mask, and Takeoff shaped his voice.

We explore his creative process, the impact of skating and scootering on his rhythm and mindset, and why vlogging and self-documentation matter more than ever for independent artists. He opens up about ambition, identity, the Louisiana music landscape, and what it means to push forward when infrastructure is limited but the vision is limitless.

Tap in for a reflective, funny, and raw conversation about craft, community, and where B3NTLY is taking his sound next.

In this episode, I sit down with LOTUS, a Los Angeles–New Orleans artist collective founded by @onlyv.e.g in 2022. This group of college creatives — known as The Outside Scholars — are pushing boundaries and building community through sound, live events, and raw artistic expression.

We talk about how LOTUS came together, the meaning behind their movement, and what it takes to create something real in today’s creative world. The crew — V.E.G., David, Vahn, DJ, Fredo, and Miko — break down their upcoming projects, including their Back 2 School event next semester and the Scream U Halloween party that brought the city together.

V.E.G. also shares his personal journey as an 18-year-old artist from Los Angeles, his R&B mixtape Love + Serenity, his upcoming album, and a new single dropping this Friday.

This conversation dives deep into the energy, collaboration, and vision fueling LOTUS — a collective that’s not just making art, but creating culture.

In this episode of The Talk Nola, I sit down with Louisiana native Justjocin — also known as $igh, the artist-producer behind the “Progressive Trap” wave. From his small-town upbringing in Edgard, Louisiana, to finding his voice between choir roots and trap influence, this conversation dives deep into how home, hustle, and self-expression collide.

We talk about balancing ambition with authenticity, building sound from scratch, and what it really takes to stay grounded in the fast-moving world of social media and virality. Justjocin opens up about his creative process, his hit “MY PHONE JUST FELL!!!”, and the meaning behind his new project Rent Due — a statement on pressure, purpose, and paying your dues in life and art.

Tune in for an hour of reflection, laughter, and raw insight into one of Louisiana’s most promising young voices.

Stream the episode, tap in with the movement, and don’t forget — Louisiana up next.

On this first episode of Season 3 of The Talk NOLA, I’m in the studio with Kee Nola, New Orleans' own genre-blending poet who fuses emo-rap, alt-rock guitars, and late-night confessions. He broke out with “Party Girl,” a track dripping with heartbreak and introspection, and his latest single “JEZEBEL” stays just as raw. Beyond the streams, what sets Kee apart is how he channels personal stories into music that connects with people searching for something real. We get into his creative process, the weight of influence, and what it means to carve out a lane in today’s music landscape.
