In this week's episode of the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast, Angie sits down with rapper, singer, and songwriter Coi Leray. Coi Leray opens up about her childhood marked by her parents' separation to her rise as a music sensation. She shares the impact of her parents' separation by shedding light on her father, Benzino, artist and founder of the Source Magazine, and her mother, his teenage love who struggled to raise four kids on her own after the split. At 16, Coi made a bold move, leaving home, quitting school, and taking on a full-time job. This pivotal decision laid the foundation for her incredible work ethic, which has propelled her to success in the music industry. However, after the release and success of her hit song "No More Parties," Coi Leray faced the harsh realities of the world. It was the first time that the typically confident Coi found herself questioning her worth.

Coi is on an ongoing journey to silence the noise and discover genuine joy. With the guidance of a life coach, the support of her amazing friends, and a strong focus on her faith, she's actively learning to filter out negativity and embrace the positive aspects of her life. Coi Leray is not just an artist. She’s a walking brand, and as we dare say… an icon in the making?! Don’t miss this episode!

IRL Take Aways: Rich Paul Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

We set off our new season of the IRL Podcast with a live taping of Rich Paul IRL. One of the biggest takeaways is how sometimes you must make sacrifices for the team to win. Everybody wants to win but not everyone is willing to put in the work. Rich Paul brings up not wanting to be in the limelight initially, although this did not necessarily mean he wouldn’t be seen. He brings up growing up in a rough environment and circumstances which lead him to be guarded, although he touches on how letting your guard down and being vulnerable is needed for growth. If you make it about your value and potential, taking a risk is not gambling, instead it’s about not settling for less than you deserve.
