What's Poppin New York with Davis Burleson

In honor of his birthday and it also falling on the same day as #NationalNewYorkDay (Sept. 21st) - I did everything in my power to drop Brooklynite, DJ J-Ronin’s episode today! Tastemaker in hip hop, business man, and best damn networker in New York City are words I would use to describe Jonathon Marvin a.k.a DJ J-Ronin (@jronin82).Hip hop and martial arts were in his bones long before Wu-Tang made it popular, respectfully. But, when Wu-Tang changed the Hip Hop community in the East Coast and around the world with their one of a kind beats, lyrics, and uniquely skilled members - DJ Ronin became a part of it. He was signed as a DJ for them and also Wu-Tang radio - (C.R.E.A.M)!In case you don’t know who Wu-Tang is, I highly recommend the Hulu original series @wutangonhulu. During this interview,  there will be a lot of O.G. name drops from the underground and mainstream hip hop community. Hear DJ J-Ronin’s unique NYC story, from a Caribbean filled community in Flatbush, to his passion behind hip hop and martial arts and why he thinks “everyone should be punched in the face at least once”, as a reality check. He also gives advice on being aware of your surroundings in NYC, as well as being humbled and part of the community while respecting its roots and culture as key advice for newcomers. Additionally…“Your network is your net worth.”So get out there and know…“People can feel your spirit, they can feel who you are and what you’re about.” This, along with many other reasons are why doors have opened for Jonathan Marvin and why I’m glad to have met him on one unexpected subway ride, when first moving to New York City.Who said…”New Yorkers are not friendly”!Tune in to hear all this and some of his music as well as his picks on songs that define hip hop in New York and so much more.

Hip Hop in New York with DJ J-Ronin

Nostalgia, it’s like it never left for Gossip Girl. I mean, New York’s mayor at the time, Bloomberg, even gave the show its own day in the city - January 26th.Tune into this week&apos;s episode as I bring you back to familiar people, music, and an interview with model, actress, and now mom, plus wellness guru, Nicole Fiscella, behind the original hit series Gossip Girl.It was an era that over-popularized the upper echelon kids of the #UES and sensationalized the glitz and glamor of New York City to many, which is maybe why many of us loved it. Alum Nicole, who was also known as Isabel Coates on #GossipGirl was #teamblairwaldorf all the way on the show, and so it’s no surprise her and Leighton Meester are real life bffs. But, Nicole’s journey in New York City leading up to getting booked for the show wasn’t always so glamorous as she too hit the pavement in the city (like many of us) to work towards her career in the industry. She lived all over Manhattan, and one thing is for sure, she can officially call herself a New Yorker having lived in the city for 10+ years. Yes, she even lived on the infamous #UpperEastSide, which her show made so popular indefinitely. Oh, and you won’t believe the chance encounter with Tyson Beckford she shared with me that may have catapulted her career as a model in the city. There’s also a mic drop moment when she shares the favorite pastime of the #GossipGirl cast in New York City.  Please subscribe, rate, and review Gossipnista wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Podcasting is a labor of love and The Bowery Boys define it!Reinventing the way we consume history about New York City is what The Bowery Boys podcast has been doing since the 2000’s. The podcast is a New York City staple along with their hosts and creators Greg Young & Tom Meyers.  On today’s episode and long holiday weekend, it’s only appropriate that I have Greg Young (@boweryboysnyc) to share his New York City story, insights on the city’s history, and how The Bowery Boys got their beginnings. Today, The Bowery Boys, are a media empire, which not only includes the podcast, but live shows, NYC tours, a book, and endless content about New York City’s history with so much more on the horizon. After countless media publications and interviews, I’m grateful to have had a chance to speak with Greg Young and have him share more about The Bowery Boys as well as how Lower Manhattan and September 11th may have had a big role in inspiring the Bowery Boys creation. He also breaks down the top episodes to start with, if you&apos;re new to The Bowery Boys podcast, (as there are nearly 400), amongst his favorites. And of course, never before heard tips on navigating the city as well as some that may already sound familiar, but that are reoccurring amongst my guests and key to navigating the city. Some of the biggest takeaways include New York is not a passive city; there’s always a new discovery in New York to explore or by viewing it in a different way; and that New York sometimes takes you on its own course of where your life and path should go…so be open! Shoutout to Tom Meyers, the other half of The Bowery Boys, who is on double baby duty having adopted a precious little girl during the pandemic.
