Top Billin’ With Bill Bellamy

Latest Episodes:

Ep. 36 feat. Deon Cole Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

This is by far one of my favorite conversations to date on Top Billin’… today I got to share stories with one of my best friends in the game…super comedian, writer, and actor…Deon Cole! I remember coming up and watching him on his “slow-cooked” grind; from performing on stages in Chi-town, joining the writer’s room for several late night talk shows, to sound stages and shows of his own! You’ve seen him in “You People,” “Black-ish,” “Grown-ish,” “Harder They Fall,” “Barbershop,” and much more! Deon’s talent is consistent and unwavering no matter what room he’s in…. and that’s why he’s TOP BILLIN’ ! Tap in.

Ep. 34 feat. Tiara Thomas Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

Grammy AND Academy-Award winning singer and songwriter Tiara Thomas has got to be one of the coolest, most swaggiest chicks in the game… we welcomed her to TOP BILLIN’ to not only give her flowers but learn how her talent blossomed into the career we see today. Her versatility as a songwriter has placed her in many rooms… from being a major collaborator with H.E.R., with whom she won a Grammy, working with Lucky Daye, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, Fat Joe, and many others. As an artist she was featured on Wale’s “Bad” and she accounts how that relationship unfolded and why the song’s release featured a newly recorded Rihanna, instead of herself – a moment that actually became a much bigger ble$$ing. Tiara is a true artist, completely dedicated to her craft and moves graciously in her element. Expect to hear new music from her very soon… Y’all better get real familiar!

Ep. 33 feat. TK Kirkland Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

My brother, fellow New Jersey native TK Kirkland, is in the MFn building! We talk about his business dealings with Eazy E, going toe-to-toe with Jamie Foxx, and how one of his hustles from back in the day got him blackballed from Def Comedy Jam. Nevertheless, his mouthpiece floated him right to success! TK is one of a kind, his work ethic is top notch, and he’s a massive snuggler. This one will leave you in tears! It’s TOP BILLIN’ baby!

Ep. 32 feat. Chris Spencer Feb 09, 2023

This week I got the chance to sit down, laugh, and build with my brother, friend, and colleague, Chris Spencer, about his journey in the business. We talk about how the West was snubbed in the Grammy tribute to Hip-Hop, the birth of his faux-reality TV satire show “Real Husbands of Hollywood” starring Kevin Hart, and his upcoming theatrical directorial debut, “Back on the Strip,” premiering on April 21, 2023 featuring myself, JB Smoove, Gary Owen, Tiffany Haddish, Faizon Love, and Wesley Snipes… just to name a few. The bond we share in comedy is deep, and the stories are nothing short of entertaining! Tap in!
