About this listen

In this episode of the Full Motion Podcast, Swigga breaks down the biggest stories moving the culture — from courtrooms to concert stages. Harlem legend Max B finally walks free after more than 16 years behind bars, and we unpack what his release means for hip-hop and the streets that never stopped supporting him. Then, the focus shifts to Jay-Z's paternity case, as a California judge officially closes a decade-long battle involving Rymir Satterthwaite and his late mother, Wanda. Swigga walks through the full history, the legal twists, and what "dismissed with prejudice" really means.

We also fact-check the viral headlines around Trump's 90-day IRS hiring freeze, breaking down what's true, what's exaggerated, and how it connects to bigger conversations about taxes, power, and the working class.

And in this week's Artist Development Tip of the Day, we focus on independence — how to create your own concert and make a small stage look major. Swigga shares how smart artists use small venues to sell out shows, capture packed-crowd visuals, hit bar guarantees, and build real-world fan bases that last.

If you're building your brand, chasing your first tour, or trying to understand how culture and business connect, this episode gives you the blueprint — facts, focus, and motivation, all powered by Full Motion Music Group.
