"A Very Busy Anniversary Special" Dec 16, 2020

Show notes

Wow, The Busy Boys turn one year old! They’ve come a long way from the initial SoundCloud link and Armon’s two hour long Instagram story on the day of launch. It’s been an amazing year of Nic’s exquisite teas, debates about R&B and NAV, and seeing the Slide Deck evolve into a full blown feud. What a milestone! While the gang intended to record a normal episode, some special friends of the show had other plans. That being said, please, please mute your phones on your anniversaries! #StayBusy

S2:E12 - "Strive for PERFXN" ft. PERFXN (Producer, Engineer, Stylist, Entrepreneur) Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

From the BusyBubble to the BusyBoards, we're back and joined by a very special guest, PERFXN! You might have heard her slaying the competition in those beat battles on Clubhouse, but the real treat is how much she has to say about the musical landscape as a whole. We CHAT about meeting her two years ago at Blapchat live, Jack Harlow's "controversial" (lmfao) album cover, 6LACK's live greatness, and predict Ashanti v. Keyshia Cole in #Verzuz. Our HALF&HALF became a FULL&FULL as we discussed streaming and song length which then evolved into a deep dive on Chance The Rapper's latest album. Our new EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH is Junae Brown! She's an extremely talented, delightful person who you ought to properly refer to as the "Beyoncé of Marketing." Our SLIDE DECK is heat as always, with PERFXN reminding us about Chris Breezy's deep cut "Everybody Knows" from 'Heartbreak on a Full Moon,' Nic giving Anderson .Paak's 'Oxnard' a second chance, and Armon continuing the PARTYNEXTDOOR agenda. After a fun round of Auto-Reply, PERFXN opens up about her journey within music and fashion, navigating the production game as a woman, and some fun upcoming projects she's working on. Wear your mask, wash your hands, but most of all...STAY BUSY!

S2:E11 - "Are We Surprised?" Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

The Grammy's are Grammying, Armon is working OT, and Nic has had enough of the dressing v. stuffing debate. That all means....Busy is Back! We CHAT about Kevin Hart's Clubhouse experience and some hot takes (Freddie Gibbs > J. Cole?; D Smoke is an industry plant?) before Nic delivers another insightful Half&Half discussing YouTube's next power play. We give our final bouquet of flowers to EOTM Olivia Shalhoup and the Slide Deck takes a competitive edge after Kieran declares Nic the top curator on the show (I beg your pardon?!? - Dr. Umar, but also Armon). This week's Board Meeting is an open and honest discussion about the Recording Academy's missteps in this year's Grammy nominations. Nic handles the R&B and Armon talks Rap. We wanna know if you feel the same way we do, so Tweet us your thoughts @staybusypod @armonsadler @nicearleymusic_. Make sure you #BuyBlack this Cyber Monday! Ladies, remember his PS5. :) Stay Busy!
