Whoolywood Shuffle w/ Troy Ave

The early morning sun painted the sky with hues of pink and gold as Storm and I made our way to the heart of New York City. Another day, another interview at Weekend Work, Shade 45 at Sirius XM. Today’s guest was none other than Troy Ave, the rapper and fellow New Yorker who had made a name for himself in the industry with his raw, unapologetic lyrics and unique style. We were excited to be a part of this interview, especially as Coach PR and DJ Caesar would be joined by special guest host DJ WhooKid, whose show airs immediately after Weekend Work. As we navigated the maze of concrete and steel that was Manhattan, a familiar feeling of dread started to creep in. My mind wandered back to a few months ago, when I had met Troy Ave at a private session in Storm’s old studio space. The night was a haze of liquor-fueled debauchery that had left me with fragmented memories of the evening’s events. I had made a complete ass of myself in front of Troy Ave and his crew, my intoxication causing me to make inappropriate comments. I couldn’t shake the gnawing uncertainty that lingered in the pit of my stomach. Would he recognize me? Would he remember the embarrassment I had caused? My thoughts were clouded with shame and regret, as the weight of my past actions threatened to crush me. As we stepped into the studio, I tried to push these thoughts to the back of my mind and focus on the task at hand. The room was alive with energy and anticipation, the air crackling with electricity as the crew prepared for the interview. Troy Ave had a commanding presence, his magnetic charisma drawing everyone’s attention. I could feel my anxiety rise as I raised my camera, the cold metal serving as a reminder of the role I was supposed to play. Throughout the interview, I couldn’t help but be deep in thought over the impact that alcohol was having on my life and career. It was becoming increasingly clear that my addiction was taking a toll, threatening to destroy everything I had worked so hard to achieve. I had begun to question whether I could continue down this path and still expect to reach the heights of success I had always dreamed of.
