For this episode of the MostHated Podcast, we sit down with two Kansas City rap veterans who helped shape the city's music scene—Brandoshis and JonJonBaby.

This conversation goes far beyond music.

JonJonBaby takes us all the way back to the beginning, revealing how he started rapping in 1992 before fully committing to music around 1999-2000, when his career immediately began gaining momentum. He talks about working with legendary Kansas City producer PrettyBoi Beats, forming the iconic group SFO, and how they've continued making music together for years. JonJonBaby also opens up about the hardships he faced before music, explaining how hip-hop ultimately helped save his life and gave him a new purpose.

Brandoshis shares the incredible story behind his rise with the legendary Drone Boyz, explaining how their breakout record "Bold" became an instant street anthem that opened doors across Kansas City and beyond. He discusses collaborating with artists like Kstylis, why he eventually branched away from the group, and how his brothers helped create the now-recognized name "Brandoshis."

The conversation also dives into one of Kansas City's biggest records, "Don't Judge Me" by Young Devi featuring Brandoshis, a song that exploded to over 5 million streams and views, turning Brandoshis into one of the city's most recognizable artists.

Nothing is off limits.

Brandoshis opens up about business mistakes, manager fallouts, rebuilding relationships, and learning how to move smarter in the music industry. He also shares an emotional tribute to his late friend and manager CEO Los, whose passing impacted not only Kansas City's music community but everyone close to him. We listen to and discuss his heartfelt record "I Owe You," featuring familiar faces from the classic 2009 era that helped build Kansas City's music legacy.

Throughout the episode we discuss:

• The evolution of Kansas City's rap scene • The history of SFO and Drone Boyz • Working with PrettyBoi Beats • Building a career that lasts decades • The music industry behind the scenes • Loyalty, business, and friendships • Losing CEO Los and honoring his legacy • Classic Kansas City music history • New music, future plans, and what's next

If you're a fan of Kansas City hip-hop, this is one episode you don't want to miss.

81 WOO IS BACK ON THE #MOSTHATEDPODCAST — and this time he brought 81 FREAKY with him! 🔥🎙️

We get officially introduced to 81 Freaky, who breaks down his role within the 81 team. Freaky makes it clear that he isn't necessarily coming in as a rapper — he's more like the muscle of the group 💪🏾 — but that doesn't mean music isn't in his future.

Freaky talks about being featured on the “Just Landed” mixtape with 81 Woo, appearing on more upcoming records, and possibly stepping out with some music of his own eventually. He also takes us behind the scenes of traveling with the crew and some of his funniest and most memorable moments touring through different cities.

Then 81 Woo catches us up on everything that's happened since his last MostHated appearance.

Woo breaks down his album “81 Woo Way 2,” why he intentionally kept the project to only 8 songs, how the people around him found their way onto the project, and what's coming with the upcoming DELUXE. 👀🔥 He even gives us some insight into unreleased records that haven't hit the streets yet.

We get into the entire WOO WAY movement and why Woo continues pushing that identity through his name, music and team.

Woo also talks about seeing how dedicated some of his supporters really are. Having genuine die-hard fans watching the journey has only motivated him to go even harder.

But everything in the music business isn't smooth…

We talk about dealing with JANKY PROMOTERS, the ups and downs that come with traveling and doing music, and some of the personal experiences Woo has learned from while building his career.

Woo explains why he physically WRITES HIS GOALS DOWN to keep himself focused and constantly moving toward the next level. 🎯

We also get into something every upcoming artist and content creator needs to understand — KNOWING YOUR AUDIENCE & UNDERSTANDING THE ALGORITHM. 📈

Woo talks about studying who's actually watching and listening instead of blindly dropping content.

And now he's adding another skill to the arsenal… 🎥

81 Woo is getting behind the camera!

He talks about learning camera work, shooting more content and eventually dropping even more of his own visuals once he gets the editing process down.

We also find out which cities show 81 Woo the MOST love — and you already know KANSAS CITY is sitting at the TOP! 🏆🌆

Most importantly, the whole room gets into a real conversation about TEAMWORK.

There is NO “I” in TEAM.

Everybody doesn't have to be the rapper. Everybody doesn't have to be the star. Everybody DOES have to play their position.

We talk about keeping everybody focused, holding each other accountable, understanding everybody's role, and dealing with the inevitable ups and downs that come with trying to build something together.

🔥 YOUNG FATE PULLS UP TO THE MOSTHATED PODCAST! 🔥

Kansas City rap history runs DEEP, and LiveWire artist Young Fate came through to take us back to an era when the KC music scene was on FIRE. 🎤💿

Young Fate breaks down his early music roots throughout Kansas City and working alongside names like Ron Ron, Rondoe (RIP 🕊️), Young Devi, Young Doe and more.

He tells the story of how performing at Moda Mansion eventually connected him with West Oakland rapper and LiveWire Records owner J. Stalin. What started with them swapping CDs turned into a relationship that would eventually take Fate's music journey to another level. 🌉🔥

And of course… “JET JET!” 🔥

Fate explains how the phrase became so popular around Kansas City, where it came from, and how being slick with words has been part of his personality since he was a kid. He even reveals the story behind the name YOUNG FATE — and trust us, you gotta hear that one yourself.

🎵 He also takes us behind some of his most popular records, explaining how the songs came together and the stories behind them.

But then we get into some REAL Kansas City history…

Young Fate talks about the era of different neighborhoods and rap crews going back and forth, including the 30z vs. 50z / 5ace2 era, when rap beef and real street tension sometimes crossed paths. Fate admits something you don't hear every rapper say: sometimes the opposition would drop a diss song and he actually thought it was HARD. 😂 But instead of just hating, it motivated him to get back in the studio and make an even harder response.

That leads into a bigger conversation about just how influential Kansas City's underground sound really was. Fate talks about KC's history with fonk, street music and aggressive neighborhood-based rap years before “drill” became a nationwide movement, and why Kansas City doesn't always receive the credit it deserves for its contributions to that sound.

From KC rap history ➡️ LiveWire ➡️ J. Stalin ➡️ classic records ➡️ old neighborhood rivalries ➡️ 30z vs 50z ➡️ JET JET ➡️ the evolution of Kansas City's music scene, Young Fate gives us stories from an era you had to actually BE THERE to understand.

SlickRick AJ: Shot At 200+ Times, Lost An Eye & Got 2 Cousins Pregnant?! 😳

This might be one of the WILDEST life stories we've ever had on the MostHated Podcast. 😭🔥

SlickRick AJ pulled up and gave us the UNFILTERED version of his life — surviving situations most people couldn't imagine, losing an eye, claiming he's been shot at OVER 200 TIMES, relationships, business, Madden, Kansas City hate and A LOT more.

👁️ HOW DID SLICK RICK AJ LOSE HIS EYE?

AJ opens up about what happened to his eye and some of the dangerous situations he's survived throughout his life. He breaks down what it was like living through those moments and still being here to tell the stories.

😭 OTHER PEOPLE'S GIRLFRIENDS & WIVES?!

And apparently surviving wasn't enough excitement for him…

SlickRick AJ admits he has messed around with women who were already in relationships — including girlfriends and wives — and explains why the risk and excitement was part of what attracted him to those situations.

Then somehow we get to the story about GETTING TWO COUSINS PREGNANT?! 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

Yeah… you're gonna have to hear him explain that one himself.

🎮 “I ONLY LOST TO ONE PERSON!”

AJ talks his talk about the new Madden, claiming he's only been beaten ONE TIME EVER. 👀

So of course we had to find out if he's really THAT cold or if somebody needs to pull up and expose him. 😂

🌿 BUSINESS & DISPENSARIES

Outside of all the wild stories, SlickRick AJ also gets into the business side of his life, including his dispensaries, what he's built for himself and the realities that come with trying to make moves.

🏙️ GETTING HATED ON IN HIS OWN CITY

AJ also gets serious about his current struggles and what it's like feeling hate coming from the same place he calls home — Kansas City, Missouri.

How do you handle success when people from your own city don't want to see you win? And after everything he's already survived, what actually gets underneath SlickRick AJ's skin today?

From losing an eye ➡️ surviving gunfire ➡️ women ➡️ TWO COUSINS?! ➡️ dispensaries ➡️ Madden ➡️ Kansas City hate, this conversation goes EVERYWHERE. 😂🔥

🎙️ SLICKRICK AJ x MOSTHATED PODCAST

You might disagree with some of it. You might not believe some of it. But you're DEFINITELY going to have something to say about it.

👇🏾 QUESTION: What's the CRAZIEST part of SlickRick AJ's story?!

🎙️ MOSTHATED FROM THE VAULT!

We dug up a group episode recorded 2 YEARS AGO, and listening back now makes this one even crazier 😂. The MostHated crew was sitting around talking about EVERYTHING — no script, no filters, just real conversations, jokes and different opinions.

🏙️ KANSAS CITY IS CHANGING

We talked about how KC was already starting to look and feel different, gentrification moving through different neighborhoods, abandoned buildings throughout the city and how even Out South was changing. Now that two years have passed, it’s crazy hearing some of these conversations again and seeing what got better — or worse. 👀

😂 WOULD YOU DATE A WOMAN WITH 5+ KIDS?!

Then the conversation went completely left.

What’s your limit when dating somebody with kids? Would you seriously date a woman with 5 or more children? What if you end up becoming stepdad? What responsibilities come with that title? And somebody had to bring up the assistance and “she might not even be paying rent” argument 😭😭.

But underneath all the jokes, the crew actually gets into some REAL family situations and what it means to step into a household where children are already involved.

💯 WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES A MAN SUCCESSFUL?

Money? Family? Peace? Accomplishments?

We talk about what really makes us happy as men, what success should actually look like and reaching a point where having less stress and more peace might mean more than having more money.

🎤 NELLY, ST. LOUIS & HBM DENZ

Of course the music conversation had to start too 😂. We get into Nelly, his St. Louis roots and somehow HBM Denz gets thrown into the comparison.

Denz also talks about the artists who influenced him at the time, who he was listening to, his approach to making music and some advice for other artists trying to find their sound.

👀 KEEFE D & THE TUPAC CASE

Remember, this episode was recorded 2 YEARS AGO, so you’re hearing our reactions and opinions from THAT TIME. We got into the Keefe D situation and the charges surrounding Tupac Shakur’s 1996 murder, what everybody was hearing about the case and our thoughts on one of hip-hop’s biggest unsolved stories finally becoming an active murder case again.

😭 AND SOMEHOW WE GOT TO COKE VS. CRACK…

Don’t even ask how the conversation got here 😂 but the crew ended up debating cocaine vs. crack, the difference between the two and the wild stereotypes and stories surrounding both. This is conversation, NOT a recommendation! 😂

Add that to KC gentrification, abandoned buildings, Out South changing, dating women with 5+ kids, becoming a stepdad, real family situations, what makes a man happy, success vs. stress, Nelly vs. HBM Denz and Denz’s musical influences… yeah, this episode was ALL OVER THE PLACE. 😭🔥

This is one of those episodes where the conversation goes EVERYWHERE — Kansas City, relationships, kids, step-parenting, family, happiness, success, music and straight comedy.

And remember: this was recorded TWO YEARS AGO. 👀

Some opinions might've changed since then… some definitely haven't. 😂

👇🏾 QUESTION OF THE EPISODE: Would you date somebody with 5+ kids? And if not… what's your limit? 😂

Episode Description

💰 FOREX, FAMILY, CHICAGO & THE HAIRCUT THAT CHANGED RAYY C FOREVER 😂

DamnYouJJ pulls up to the MostHated Podcast and this one goes from FREE GAME to straight comedy QUICK.

JJ breaks down his journey into FOREX trading, how he learned the game, turned it into a way to make a living, and why he believes in helping the next person learn instead of keeping the information to himself. He talks about using his money to build toward bigger investments, long-term goals, taking care of his daughter and putting his family in position—especially after they were there for him.

🏙️ We also get into his move from Kansas City to Chicago and what life has really been like since making the switch. JJ compares the food, shopping, environment, culture and politics of Chicago to KC and other cities. He gives both the GOOD and BAD of living there—but makes it clear he LOVES Chicago.

🍗 And when it comes to the food? JERK 48 & BIG MOMMAS got his approval. That deep-dish pizza though? 😂 He ain't trying to hear it!

Then we finally get to the story Rayy C has been waiting to tell…

💈 After leaving the military, JJ went to barber school and decided to start cutting hair. Rayy C trusted him with the clippers—not once, but TWICE.

The second haircut went so bad Rayy C says he's BALD TO THIS DAY. 😭😂

And the craziest part?

JJ basically stopped being a barber after that! 💀

From learning how to make money, investing instead of blowing it, taking care of family and adjusting to a new city—to destroying Rayy C's hairline—this episode has GAME, STORIES and plenty of laughs.
