What’s your name and where are you from?
Reb Creezy from out of Dallas, Texas born and raised.
Why do you love what you do?
Creating music and sharing it with the world has been a passion since I could first remember at 13 years old. It has been part of my life since the beginning and I love that I can use it to tell my stories and connect with people. It's been the greatest tool for me to express myself and be able to help others express themselves!. The message, the feeling, the inspiration I can create from just vibing personally with a beat has been one of my favorite super powers and I love to share that with someone. I've actually saved someone's physical life with my music before and ever since that situation I'm always ready to do more and push myself past those previous boundaries to maybe save another life, or spread a message.
What makes you different?
There's only ONE Reb Creezy.... no one on this earth can create like I can & willing to be on it. My creativity and passion for what I do is what separates me from the rest. I'm not afraid to take risks, think outside of the box, and work in ways that break free of traditional means and forms. I'm not afraid to trust my gut and never back down in the pursuit of excellence, or afraid to be very versatile and try things out of the box, which usually works with the whole "Keep it Creezy" phrase.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
stadium level sold out shows, awarded shows performing, multiple brand endorsements, & more new innovative music coming out. In 5 years, I see myself being a global icon, creating a positive influence on the world with my music and breaking boundaries in the music industry...touring, becoming the next star or music. hopefully having my own label or multiple businesses
What do you want to accomplish in life?
creating and leaving a legacy with my music and the messages within my songs, hoping to inspire more and have my own sound within the music industry. I want to be able to travel, soak up different cultures and write about them, to create positive change in the world with meaningful philanthropy, staying humble and helping those who need it. To see the world, experience all it has to offer, and make meaningful and lasting relationships along the way which has also been a journey for myself
What do you bring to your industry?
A fresh versatile sound that's very much needed right now. Music today sounds very repetitive and I really wanna fix that with bringing in new original music ideas to life...from experimenting with beats, mixing and mastering, I’m heavily involved in all aspects of creating music. I strive to push the boundaries of what is currently there and give a voice to people who are looking to express themselves. My sounds are eclectic, experimentative and filled with soul with something sure to always relate to the now.
What do you want to be remembered by?
Keeping the world Creezy one person at a time, and inspiring the next person to be better than they were before. Making sure that each person has a personal connection with myself as an artist and through my music and can somehow utilize that with their lifestyle to spread that to each and every person, showing them how to keep it Creezy daily as it's just as keeping yourself healthy, positive, happy or more aware of self and purpose within the universe.

What’s your name and where are you from? My name is Tazz B. I'm from North Carolina and I am the founder of Black & Unfiltered Entertainment and The Black & Unfiltered Podcast which consist of myself, Famou$, Teezy, Pooch, P-Nut and Tuccie. We started podcasting back in 2020 during the pandemic during the "pandemic podcast era" and we are one of the few that continued creating content after that died down. Why do you love what you do? Its a release for all of us. Seeing all of our personalities come together and mesh to produce funny entertaining content while keeping it real is such a dope process. Also the networking and connections we have made along the way while doing this has been amazing. We even have been fortunate enough to be on a couple radio stations such as One United Radio Network big shoutout to Jah Ali and TheBlock105 shoutout to R.E.C. doing big things over there. Along with all of that we have been talking to and connecting with people that we never imagined from other podcasts to musical artist and business owners. My personal favorite connection we have made is with LA journalist Ceris Castle she has been on podcast with us twice so definitely want to shout her out and all the groundbreaking work she does agains police brutality. In the end we do it for our listeners they deserve relatable unfiltered content that can get them throught their day. What makes you different? In today's world people are scared to speak their mind on issues or find the humor in certain things especially in the podcast industry which is still fairly new. Us we pride ourselves on going against the grain and keeping our content original and unfiltered we do not script anything. Also your going to get opinions from 6 different viewpoints which the so called podcast rule is no more than 4 people we make our own rules hence why we have been called "The Bad Boys of Podcast" Where do you see yourself in 5 years? In the midst of a major podcast deal and expanding Black & Unfiltered Entertainment into a collective of different content creators, musical artist and people wanting a shot at furthering their craft whether it be animation, sound or film editing, audio engineering I will go as far as to say I want us involved in movies. We believe the possibilities are endless as long as the work is put in somebody going to see us. What do you want to accomplish in life? To live as freely as possible and do something I love that just so happens to be my source of income and gives me the ability to put people on a major platform. What do you bring to your industry? The real which is needed in this industry and we make people laugh that laugh could turn around a listener's bad day. What do you want to be remembered by? We wanna be trailblazers in this industry and show that a crazy idea and stepping out of your comfort zone can change your life. We don't have to limit ourselves to sports or trying to be rappers and portraying an image that really isn't who we are. It's OK to want to create content or be Twitch streamer and game. It may seem like a crazy impossible thing but it can be achieved. I've had people tell me "no way somebody is going to pay you any attention to sit on a mic and talk." yet ya'll reading about us now.

The Hustle Trap: How Chasing Success Is Quietly Stealing Your Happiness
For an entire generation, success has been rebranded as a lifestyle. Social media feeds are filled with early mornings, late nights, motivational quotes, and captions that glorify exhaustion as a badge of honor. The message is clear and constant: if you are not grinding, you are falling behind. This idea, often called “hustle culture,” has become one of the most powerful and persuasive narratives of modern life. At first glance, it sounds inspiring. Work hard. Push yourself. Don’t settle for average. These are not harmful ideas on their own. The problem begins when effort becomes an identity and rest becomes something to feel guilty about. Many people now measure their worth by how busy they are. The signs of the hustle trap often appear quietly. Skipped meals become normal. Sleep becomes optional. Weekends turn into “catch-up days.” Time with family and friends starts to feel like a distraction instead of a joy. The line between dedication and self-neglect slowly disappears. Psychologists warn that chronic overwork doesn’t just drain energy — it changes how the brain responds to stress. When the body stays in a constant state of pressure, it begins to treat even small challenges as threats. This can lead to anxiety, irritability, and a feeling of being permanently on edge. Ironically, this state of mind often makes people less productive, not more. Creativity declines. Decision-making becomes rushed. Focus becomes scattered. The very success people are chasing starts to move further away. One of the most dangerous myths of hustle culture is the idea that “you can rest after you make it.” The problem is that “making it” is a moving target. There is always another goal, another level, another comparison. Without realizing it, people can spend their entire lives chasing a future moment of peace that never arrives. But a quiet shift is beginning. More professionals, entrepreneurs, and creators are starting to question the grind. They are redefining success not just by income or status, but by quality of life. They are asking different questions: Do I have time for the people I care about? Do I enjoy my daily routine? Do I feel present in my own life? Some companies are experimenting with four-day workweeks. Others are encouraging employees to fully disconnect after hours. Individuals are setting boundaries around their time and attention, even when it feels uncomfortable at first. This doesn’t mean ambition is disappearing. It means it’s being reshaped. There is a growing understanding that sustainable success is built like a marathon, not a sprint. It requires pacing, recovery, and self-awareness. Just as athletes schedule rest days to avoid injury, high performers are learning to schedule mental and emotional recovery to avoid burnout. Another powerful realization is that identity should not be tied to productivity alone. People are more than what they produce. They are friends, partners, parents, learners, and community members. When work becomes the only source of meaning, everything else can start to feel empty by comparison. Small changes can begin to loosen the grip of the hustle trap. Turning off notifications in the evening. Taking a real lunch break. Saying no to commitments that don’t align with personal values. These acts may seem minor, but they send a powerful message to the mind: my life is not a machine. In a world that constantly pushes for more, choosing “enough” can feel like an act of rebellion. But it is often in that space — between ambition and acceptance — that people rediscover something they didn’t even realize they were losing. Joy.
