On this week's episode, we sat down with Jason Almeida, better known as WHERE'S NASTY, a creative director, DJ, and event producer from Providence, RI. We explored his journey into hip-hop, the changing landscape of music discovery, and why numbers don’t define success in the culture. Nasty also shared his experiences throwing parties in high school, getting into DJing in college, and how he co-founded Stay Silent PVD, the force behind iconic events like Day Trill.

We also discussed the differences between Boston's and Providence's music scene, the balance between visibility and money in the creative industry, and the importance of understanding your audience through data. Anddd... we might've also touched on (pause) the Diddy situation toward the end of the episode. Tune in and enjoy the conversation!
