This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome Nadeska Alexis, co-host of Complex News' runaway hit show Everyday Struggle, to the Upper West Side! Nadeska discusses her childhood move from Grenada to Brooklyn, her mother's strict rules, being shy and reserved through high school, and begging her way out of town and to the snowy confines of Binghamton University. Nadeska talks early interviews with Wale, J. Cole, and Kid Cudi for Blackbook Magazine, putting together MTV's Hottest MCs list which got Kanye so heated he screamed on Sway, and making her big move to join Complex. Oh, and yes, you loser commenters, Nadeska talks Ak, Joe, Migos, Vic Mensa, Yachty and more.

#128: Nadeska Alexis

A very good friend of mine was moving back to Texas, from Miami, and wanted me to do a song detailing her journey up to this point. I knew I couldn't turn down this opportunity. It wasn't a lucrative financial gig by any means, but it was the chance to tell a story for a lot of young women. That story being no matter what society and stats tell you about glass ceilings, and who's in what position, you got this. Go head and click play.

B-SimmS describes his music as cold beer and dark liquor in a room where everyone wants to drink wine. Subject matter ranges from drinking, heartbreak, random lyricism, black empowerment and various other takes on certain topics. The Houston native fell in love with music by making an impromptu drum set from a tin can when he was 11. SimmS started rapping in middle school but stopped when he found out he was trash. After picking it up in high school, SimmS conitnued rhyming in college where he performed in front of numerous audiences as well as dropped a few mixtapes and a debut album. Now living in Austin, SimmS tries to continue the vibes set by his inspirations of Nas and Jay-Z and apply it with a 2017 filter. The world will soon hear more of B-SimmS and his peculiar mixture. Last year, he released an experimental Hip hop/R&B EP, “A Fuckboi and a Gentleman”, exclusively on Datpiff. B-SimmS is still performing at shows as well as working on his upcoming, yet-to-be-titled album, which is slated to drop later this year.
