Speaker 3:Multitasking, you know every life, work in the radio, life within the family life, you know.
Speaker 1:What you making it work right, Absolutely how you making it work.
Speaker 3:I have a planner, so whenever you see me with my boot back on, I always have a planner. And I also have a manager that I talk to every single day all day, like we do check-ins literally every day. Either talk about the business or mental check-in, or even like some freak DJ type of stuff too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I want to get into that. How long have you been with your manager?
Speaker 3:Maybe four or five months now. Ok, not that long. But she's also family, yeah, ok.
Speaker 1:That's what's up. All right, so I'm going to start off. My first question is where you from.
Speaker 3:Chicago Low and high.
Speaker 1:How about I say I knew you had to say that. I knew you had to say low and high?
Speaker 3:I'm from Low and low and all day, from Forty and from Lake Park to Luz Act.
Speaker 1:OK, so I ain't got to be too worried. No, in good will.
Speaker 3:I mean, we go here now, but you know, come on man, we ain't good with you Don't be like that, don't be like that.
Speaker 1:So I know you talked about you just spoke about fleet DJs, but first I want to talk about how you got into radio.
Speaker 3:OK, so radio has definitely been one of my dreams since I was like 10 years old Actually. Journalism OK. I used to read, like the Vibe magazines the stores Shout out to the Vibe Word Up all that and I think I was listening to it.
Speaker 3:You said Word Up Got that, ok, b2k was going to come about. I was going to come Shout out to B2K. I was listening to like GCI at the time. It was like Leon Rogers, crazy Howard McGee was on there. Then Power 92 came on and then I was listening to like Shai Blythe and Shandell. I was like man I could do that. So ever since then I've definitely been like tied in with radio journalism. I was either. I also went to high school and majored in radio TV and then eventually I went to college.
Speaker 1:That's where you went to.
Speaker 3:South Shore School of Arts.
Speaker 1:OK, Wait OBEs.
Speaker 3:Yeah, ok, oh damn, stopping everywhere you plug yeah.
Speaker 1:OK, let's just up. So you said you listened to the radio and you thought and you felt like I could do that. What made you think you could do that?
Speaker 3:It was entertaining. I could be entertaining sometimes. I can also be serious sometimes. Ok, I felt like at the time I was a little shy so I had to really really push my personality out there. So it was like people like you and other people that came up to me, because I remember when I first met you, I'm like, hey, I'm Melly. You's like I know who you. Is you the reason?
Speaker 4:why yeah you the?
Speaker 3:reason why I wanted to do this for real, for I'm like really, and I was like aw man, that's what's up. We was doing the red carpet together.
Speaker 1:I tell everybody that shit Straight up. So you said having a personality for it. So you said you listened to Crazy Homie G coming up, leon Rogers who else did you listen to?
Speaker 3:Also Dee Dee McGriah. She was on the Doug Banks show. So that's how, like I don't tell many people this, but that's how the Sandbox came about, because she was like the five things you need to know right now. I was like the Sandbox. And then my husband he also shout out to my husband. He gave me a lot of creativity behind the scenes. So he like, instead of just saying it regular, say oh that's him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like that, I like that.
Speaker 3:I was like big up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you know what. It's interesting that you say that, because I think for some people that's unfamiliar with radio, I don't think they understand the importance of segments and having segments. Like can you speak on what's the importance of having segments and engaging with your audience through segments?
Speaker 3:Yeah, so the segments, definitely the meat, eggs and potatoes is like I go back to journalism so you're always going to have your intro, then you're going to have your body, then you're going to have your conclusions. You always want to have an entertaining segment, no matter what it is. Sometimes it could be really sad, but you have to let people know what is going on and tease the segment Right.
Speaker 1:It's got consistency as well. Yeah, has there ever been? Has there ever been something that you reported in the sandbox that you felt like you didn't want to?
Speaker 3:Yeah, all the time Like something recently my cousin passed. He's a big DJ, dj Casper.
Speaker 2:So, I had to actually yeah chat chat slap.
Speaker 3:So I had to report that news and I was like I know the fam I can't say too much because you know we have every private family but it was like I have to report it. So, that was something that was like I don't really want to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 3:Thank you, so I was like man.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow, damn. It's kind of hard to come back after that one. So we talked about characteristics and personalities of radio. What characteristics do you think is successful radio personality need to have?
Speaker 3:That's a good question. Let's always be truthful to yourself. Sometimes funny yeah, Not necessarily a pushover, but a people's person. You have to understand your audience. You got to understand who you're talking to. You can't see them, they can't talk back sometimes, but you got to understand who you're talking to.
Speaker 1:Right, no, no, no, I get that because I feel like that is, that is a gift and that is, that is a definite skill set that's needed, especially like that. You're not seeing the people that you're talking to, so you have to kind of have a ear Well, I hear, for the people that you, that you're addressing, you know when you think about, when you think about your audience, how would you define your audience?
Speaker 3:So I look for, my audience is like 18 to 35, somebody who is serious, somebody who's looking for entertainment, somebody who's looking for the jokes, somebody to you know, just just to be there, you know there's a lesson in here, okay. My audience is. It varies sometimes. Give me a little ratchet, sometimes I have, like you know, but sometimes I do cater to like the sexy red ratchet. This audience, I'm ready.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm glad you okay, because we got to come back. We got to take a break real quick. Hey, yo shut up to all the women out there that's uh going to the sexy red concert with dirty socks and shit on.

Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. We are now back at the shit's podcast, so we're either shooting shit, starting some shit or picking up what shit left off, and we ain't here chilling with the one, the only, meli P you know. So we was talking about earlier, and would you say something about sexy red being a mentor or something like that?
Speaker 3:I would say, sometimes I cater to my sexy red Audience. I what just the retchiness, you know city girls. And then I can also go to the professionals that the bill gates and you know you said the bill gates.
Speaker 1:So let me ask you this, let me ask you this Do you think that it's possible to have the, the professionals, the professional ladies, that's, into the sexy red?
Speaker 3:Do I have what?
Speaker 1:like do you think it's possible to have, like the second, the professional, the professional ladies, professional women, that's really really into sexy red and might go out to a concert and shit like that you think they would? Yeah?
Speaker 3:I'm not. Everybody got a little retchiness in them. You think so you?
Speaker 1:I'm just saying, you know, we just keep it a funky. You know, Sam.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I love retchiness. Okay you know, it comes out every blue moon.
Speaker 1:So do you think. Well, would that be a say y'all, make sure y'all come to the hot way every Sunday, so 10 pm the two am. They're posed some dangerous.
Speaker 3:You gotta be there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you had to be there. Yeah, I had to be there. Um, so we're radio. What do you think has been your biggest challenge in radio?
Speaker 3:Um the biggest challenge was not giving up, because at one point, I was giving up.
Speaker 3:And I actually did give up. For a few years I was like yo, this is really my passion. I really got to get back Into it. How do I get into it? How do I expand in my branch? So that's what made me start like hosting a lot of Showcases and actually putting my name out there. So that's how I got in tune with a lot of different artists, entrepreneurs, radio personalities and things like that. That's by throwing my own events.
Speaker 1:Okay, so let's speak about the showcase. What is I mean? I got my own, I got my own opinion on the showcases, but I'm, I'm, I'm gonna hold it to myself for a minute. Um, what is the ideal number of artists you think should be on the showcase?
Speaker 3:So for me it can be one until the fifth.
Speaker 1:So one.
Speaker 3:Could that be like over my kind of one to 15 artists and I will cut it off. Yeah, sometimes I know promoters they'll go to 20 and 30. And I know why they will go to 20 and 30 because a lot of artists are not reliable, so they wanna make sure that the artists that don't show up they still get room for the extra artists.
Speaker 1:Okay, do you think? Do you think that the average person coming out to a showcase is gonna stay to the end of the night for all those artists?
Speaker 2:They have. Okay, so that's a yes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so a lot of people only think of artists such as rappers and singers, but my showcases are extremely different. So I have comedians, sweet, you know. I have all genre of artists. I have poets, that comes out.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:When I first started, I also wanted dancers to come out. Jukers, yeah, no, jukers, I mean. I'm talking about ratchet, yeah no, no, not ratchet, it's all good, it's all good. I mean a little ratchet is good. That's what keep people entertained. Definitely Like to name it like South Shore Drill Team. Those are the type of showcases in my throat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, house of Maddox.
Speaker 3:Yes, House of Us, House of Rats, I mean.
Speaker 1:Was you in House of Maddox?
Speaker 3:No, I wasn't. I'm not a dancer.
Speaker 1:Okay, are you? It's okay? Okay, it's okay If you was nobody's judging you. You know that right.
Speaker 3:What dance team were you on?
Speaker 1:None, none, whatsoever, none. Hey, nothing against dancers, none against dancers. It just wasn't my thing, okay, so back to the showcases, all right. So you say you have poets, dancers, comedians. That's the part right there I think comedians can really, really, really bring your shit up.
Speaker 2:Yes, if they funny, yes, yeah, yeah if they funny.
Speaker 1:What are some of the challenges that you faced putting on the showcases?
Speaker 3:A lot of challenges Artists. I try to be on them about meeting deadlines. The deadline is put your music out, what's up, so I can send it to my DJ. So when you get there you ain't even gotta bother my DJ. But like yo, you got my music. No cause I asked for this a month ago or two months ago when I was playing shit, I love that shit.
Speaker 4:There.
Speaker 3:Now I know sometimes some artists got a long list, a long catalog, so they can't really choose on which song they wanna perform. But you got some type of idea within that seven minutes what the frick you wanna do.
Speaker 4:Right, right right.
Speaker 3:I feel like showcases also just help artists to get to the next step, to get to the concerts. So artists that been with me for a while, that been doing my showcase, I was like, okay, now it's time to graduate, don't do your whole song, do a performance track. So that's one of the hardest getting the music out there. Sometimes they still ask the same questions. I'm like yo, this is all in writing right here. We've been inboxing each other. I think it's up above, but you know repetitive.
Speaker 3:So, that's another little struggle, not too much, but it just mainly just mean the deadlines.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, that ain't too major. What do you think about artists that rap over the vocals?
Speaker 2:I hate it.
Speaker 3:Thank you, I hate it yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3:So shout out to my manager, ash. She gave me the idea to do the producers, as well as the artist's hair phones idea.
Speaker 1:So I'm sorry yo the silent joints yeah, okay yeah yeah, so I'm like that's beat dope.
Speaker 3:That'd be extremely dope because artists and the people that's in the building only listen to the artist's lyrics they not even listen to the beat. Necessarily they listen to the artist's hair phones rapping their songs as if they was in a booth.
Speaker 1:So they got to know how to split that shit, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's why I'm so different.
Speaker 1:That's good. That's good and I definitely think it's needed. Yeah, kind of switching it up. What's the most important thing that you've learned from someone you didn't like? Psh, don't say how to dance.
Speaker 3:Well, I'm not a dancer. I try sometimes Check out the hideaway, by the way. That's what we get, kind of lit a little bit.
Speaker 1:Kind of.
Speaker 2:No kind of.
Speaker 3:One thing is always be professional, because sometimes, like I met this person, I felt like it was extremely cool, but that person always drew be professional, professional, professional. I'm like well how can you say that when you're not being professional at? The time Right, right so that's one of the hardest things.
Speaker 1:All right, well, speaking of not being professional. So we live in the city that doesn't always have the best reputation as far as professionalism or support. Um, what do you think that? What do you think Chicago can do better when it comes to professionalism, when it comes to entertainment?
Speaker 3:I think first of all definitely get everything in writing, because everything that is verbally said can get miscrued and not only the text message form works, the actually the contracts work. So just get everything in writing.
Speaker 2:That makes sense.
Speaker 3:Just make sure that everybody have an understanding on what is going on, what time the show starts, what time the show ends, what time it's checking and you know things like that.
Speaker 1:Sound checks. Sound checks are so important I don't even think people do sound checks, no more.
Speaker 3:No, cause artists don't take it serious. They are like, oh, that's another show, that's another show, okay, that's an open mic. Like no, somebody say be there at a certain time, be there at a certain time bruh.
Speaker 1:Like for all artists out there, sound checks are important because you really want people to hit you like straight up. So I mean, but for those of you who are rapping over your vocals, I guess it really don't matter.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's step one, we working on it, we working on it. Right right, it's baby steps, y'all.
Speaker 1:It's baby steps. We trying. Ay yo, we're gonna take a break real quick and we coming right back. Ay yo shout out to all my artists out there that tried to get shit in writing but can't read, so gotta do the shit in Big as Marcus. Ay yo, this is just for our cash, y'all. That's the shit. For all erotic needs and adult needs. Hit up, call Pleshus, c-o-l-e, pleshuscom. That's W-W-W, c-o-l-e, pleshuscom. It's the shits. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We are now back at the shit's podcast and we just ain't talking about contracts and perps. Perks, no, what the fuck is? He can't read and shit.
Speaker 3:Big Black Marcus, exactly.
Speaker 1:Right that shit in the Sharpie fan. What inspires you?
Speaker 3:That's a good question. My family, my daughter, inspired me, my husband inspired me this life.
Speaker 1:That's good, that's good, that's what's happening.
Speaker 3:It's real simple. Sometimes I'm real simple, that's good.
Speaker 1:I mean honestly. Sometimes the best things in life are just simple Just being able to get up and binge, watch TV all day and eat some heros and drink some Kool-Aid. It's like that'd be like a day for me Not every day because I'm trying to lose weight and shit, but it'd be a day. What's your superpower?
Speaker 3:Oh wow, being able to multitask, that's one of my biggest, my strongest superpower. Just multitasking, okay okay.
Speaker 1:So if you didn't have the planner and you didn't have the Ashley, how would you multitask?
Speaker 3:I would die. I'm like so what we doing today, what's going on, Hold on. But before I was planning I always kind of roast up down. I still kind of like planning Before I was, before I had my countenance. At the same time, two things all over the place.
Speaker 1:I was missing appointments and really, really was bad at it and I feel you because, I ain't gonna lie, I get kind of excited when I see organizers, like when I'm being Walgreens like I'll buy, even though I have an organizer, I'll buy another one because I just see it in Walgreens and I think it just look nice.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying. And now they so fancy, now they got shit, goods and all this good stuff, all this space for you to write.
Speaker 1:I'm sounding like a straight nerd right now. That's how I do it. I ain't tripping.
Speaker 3:The itch podcast.
Speaker 1:How can well? Let's speak about the ownership club.
Speaker 4:On Sunday X.
Speaker 1:Shout out to the team Shab Liz, liz Toussaint, ken folks, richard Renee, alex DeWine and media monics Brian Fleming, raymond Betts, that girl, olivia, dj Gitm, dj Stakes. Am I missing anybody?
Speaker 3:Missing you.
Speaker 1:Myself.
Speaker 3:Bee, hendrix, bee, hendrix, they're a super producer. Okay.
Speaker 1:So speak about that experience and how it felt for you to be included into that team.
Speaker 3:You know what I was just talking? To Blizz about this earlier today. I was like yo.
Speaker 1:You want me to turn my calls down, but it's all good, I ain't shitting, I ain't shitting.
Speaker 3:That's because I come on right after the morning jump all the time. I'm able to like hey, y'all wait before you leave. I got a couple of questions During the interview process.
Speaker 4:I didn't think I got it.
Speaker 3:I was like, okay, I'm going up against Mosul, I went up against Ken Fox. Then I saw Liz too. Some was like this is gonna be interesting. But once he said all of us got, I said, say less man, how long is the segments? And what we got to do? Cause my goal for this year was to be on the FM station. So I didn't know how I was going to get there. I just know, hey, mellie, this is the goal this year Is to get on the FM station. So when we got the news I was excited. I felt like yo, it's time to step it up even higher. Step that bar a little higher for me.
Speaker 1:Okay, how do you think? How do you think you? Is it a planner?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:How do you think you can make Chicago radio better?
Speaker 3:Bring it back to the basis a little bit.
Speaker 1:Like what?
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I feel like we still have a division when it comes to artists as well as entrepreneurs. So I definitely want to close that gap a bit, even add on extra spices, like the producers, like I was telling y'all behind the scenes, get the producers tied in with some of these artists and even being able to have them just connect with each other, like everybody need each other, even with the host.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So even just go back out to the basis, like the guerrilla marketing and promoting and things like that.
Speaker 1:Right. One thing that I can't commend you on what I've noticed is that you do have your ear to the street as far as local artists. You know what I'm saying. Like, I've been put on to artists that I ain't know about because of you speaking about them. Someone been ratchet, really, you know? Yeah, you know. Like we said, we love ratchet music you know what I'm saying. Love ratchet music.
Speaker 3:Sexy red.
Speaker 1:Hey man, I'm trying to say out something I gotta be honest with y'all straight up. You know, let me not say it because that might mess up my whole little thing. With sexy red I'm trying to get Lotto on the show.
Speaker 3:Big Lotto she ratchet too.
Speaker 1:She's got something about Lotto though.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's just something. Let me stop. Let me stop because I don't want to get in trouble. Speak about your role with the Fleet DJs.
Speaker 3:Okay, so I have many hats in Fleet DJs, so I am the Vision Host Manager.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:And then I'm also a vent coordinator for Fleet DJs. So Fleet DJs is one of the top DJ coalition and we are worldwide and international. No, so we got people in Canada, Hawaii and Africa. We just had a big conference in July.
Speaker 1:In North Carolina.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what I was telling you about, and you know, one thing that stood out to me obviously was all the people, but they had a DJ battle. Now, one of my favorite movies of all time is Juice. That's what it got. So when they was scratching, I'm like, oh my God, this is so freaking dope and they had a whole DJ battle. They even had a producer battle. I was like I'm in heaven right now.
Speaker 4:I don't want to go off.
Speaker 3:This is like so dope. So I definitely wear many hats in the Fleet. We are recruited for DJs in Illinois and Indiana I want to say that's Midwest, but I know we are recruiting worldwide as well for DJs. Okay, yeah, and then we also look out for artists. So any artists that want to push their career to that next level definitely hop in my inbox and we could just plug you out. We have the three DJs, so not just Illinois.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:For sure.
Speaker 1:So you said something about Juice.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So I don't know if I don't know if a lot of people even noticed this, but did you notice in Juice that Bishop had two guns?
Speaker 3:Yeah Moments in his pocket and somewhere else.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, I was just watching that.
Speaker 3:The elevator scene. Was it just when you were so up?
Speaker 1:No, no, no. When they first, when they went to go rock I ain't spoiling the movie for nobody, I'm pretty sure you've already seen Juice when they went to go rock buddy, he already had a gun. That's. When I watched it the other day, I was like damn, that's crazy, because I was under the impression that they only had one gun. You know what I'm saying. And then when I seen that scene, I was like they had a gun already.
Speaker 1:So that's just my, I mean. But Juice is one of my favorite movies too. I just thought that was kind of interesting to shoot. Do you think Tupac was a good actor? Yeah, I'm a huge Tupac fan Really Hold on Pause, pause, pause pause.

Speaker 3:You didn't say in order, but it would still be the same order though.
Speaker 1:Okay, I didn't go for it. I mean it was yeah, that's good, so damn, you didn't say Gryllot, no you didn't feel, gryllot, it didn't really hold me, damn, you know what? All right, but but Above the Rim was dope, above the Rim was dope Poet and Justin man Cause Jannet messed it up. Come on, everybody know Jannet messed up movie up she was a little ratchet in there, but I liked it.
