Sweet Limb had a Conversation with us and answered our unique 7 Questions. Check it out below.

How did you come by your stage name? 

Sweet Limb: I wasn’t at my most creative, so I Googled band name generators and weeded through many lame monikers until I landed on Sweet Limb. I just liked the way it rolled off the tongue. It means nothing.

To what or whom do you accredit your sense of style? 

Sweet Limb: Not sure, but those Odd Future dudes are fresh AF. 

On your current project, how did you come up with the concept? 

Sweet Limb: It was a prolific 48-hour period post-TMS and Ketamine; the psychedelics inspired me. I wrote and recorded all four tracks on the new EP in a bedroom with incense, candles, and wine – the whole 9. It was a vibe, so that’s what I called the EP.

Are you the best at what you do?

Sweet Limb: Hell no. Not even close. Not even Top 200. Frank Ocean is the best; we should all know that by now. But, Passenger is still my best song, and I’ve yet to write a better song, according to the fam.

What are your plans for the near future? 

Sweet Limb: Hopefully, I will lose some damn weight, write more music, and experiment with psilocybin more. Try to find some SXSW shows to play. Find a day job that doesn’t suck.

Is there anyone you’d like to thank? Any shoutouts?

Sweet Limb: I’d like to thank my Mother, Charlene Robinson, and cousin Kirk Williams for the support, and my Fiancé Kristin Gamel, for holding it down and putting up with my shit.

Charlamagne Tha God Turns Pain Into Power Amid Kanye West’s Shocking “Cousins” Confession

Honk Magazine

On a recent episode of “The Breakfast Club,” radio host Charlamagne Tha God opened up a moment of powerful facts about his own childhood trauma while talking very openly about Kanye West’s troubling new song, “Cousins.” In classic form, Charlamagne’s response was at once raw, emotionally layered, and deeply human. In “Cousins,” Kanye reflects on an unsettling sexual episode from his younger years involving a cousin, a song that had fans and critics reflecting. And as the song has whipped up waves of reactions across the internet, Charlamagne himself incisively cut through the noise with one of his own truths.

“No, they not. People are not gonna start coming out saying they sucked their cousin’s penis,” he said. “Listen, I was getting molested when I was 8 by a 20-year-old woman.” Charlamagne wasn’t reading from a script when he made the admission. It wasn’t done to sell records. It was unfiltered truth and a reminder that beyond the hot takes and the headlines, there are actual people whose invisible wounds we bear with us. Still, he didn’t completely let Kanye off the hook. This is a discussion we should be having,” he insisted, “I just can’t take it serious when it’s coming from Kanye. It’s always something with Kanye every week. That’s all. All of it just feels like a stunt.”

Kanye’s explosive public persona makes it difficult for some to distinguish between genuine confession and viral marketing. And they do matter, even more than ever, when the subject matter is so weighty. What happened on “The Breakfast Club” was a man seizing control of his own story in an arena that too often prizes spectacle over substance. Whether Kanye’s track succeeds in that level of reflection is a point of debate, but Charlamagne’s brutal sincerity also served as a timely reminder that healing begins when someone dares to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth.

Jermaine Dupri Breaks Down the Bias Behind Xscape’s Rise

Honk Magazine

During his visit to the R&B Money podcast, Jermaine Dupri shared an obstacle he encountered in launching ‘90s R&B titan Xscape, and it has nothing to do with their voices. Dupri was blunt; Xscape never took off because of a lack of talent; it was their looks. “They just kept telling me they weren’t cute,” he said, shaking his head disapprovingly at the dismissive way executives from that era greeted even undeniable vocal firepower. It broadsided him, a wake-up call to the naked fact that marketing beats merit most of the time.

Even for one of the most vocally gifted female groups of their era, Xscape faced an industry that was more focused on image than artistry. The criticism wasn’t subtle. Even The Notorious B.I.G. dissed them in one of his lyrics words that stung in a culture where beauty was currency, and women who didn’t fit a narrow definition were often relegated to the sidelines. But Dupri wasn’t having it. He then doubled down on his faith in Xscape, championing their talent when almost no one else would. His gamble paid off chart-toppers like “Just Kickin’ It” and “Who Can I Run To” didn’t only reach No. 1 on the charts, they solidified Xscape as gods of R&B’s golden age.

This isn’t just a reflection on Xscape’s journey, it’s a commentary on the battles many female artists still face. Dupri’s candor is a reminder that behind every platinum plaque, there’s often a quiet battle with industry bias. In essence, the story of Xscape is one of defiance, perseverance, and the realization that real talent doesn’t need a filter. And thanks to Jermaine Dupri’s vision and refusal to conform, they didn’t just break through, they changed the game. And sometimes, they come wrapped in the truth the industry prefers not to hear.
