All external, behavioral idols have the same insidious root cause—unbelief, or its synonym, self-reliance. The self-reliant spirit is not trusting God. If you don’t deal with this universal heart problem, you could easily stop one sin while jumping to a different idol. Have you ever played “whack-a-mole” at an amusement center? It’s one of those games where plastic moles randomly pop up while you try to whack them with a rubber mallet before they retreat into their holes. You never know when or where one will pop up. As soon as you knock one down, another one jumps up.

Idol Swapping: I Stopped One Sin and Gained 30 Pounds

Rose was a member of my small group. One night, she asked me what I thought about smoking cigarettes. I said, “It’s not what’s between your fingers that is a problem; it’s what is in your heart.” At that moment, the Lord did the miraculous. Over the next few months, her heart changed. I was oblivious to all these things. Months later, she shared with me what happened. Please enjoy her confession and praise to God.

Confession of a Former Cigarette Smoker

In Episode 89 we became acquainted with Sheriff Karl Leonard of Chesterfield County, Virginia.  We circled back with the Sheriff to meet his Behavioral and Mental Health Division Director, Kerri Rhodes.  Kerri is no stranger to the tragedy of addiction, but in looking for a way to heal herself, she found a pathway at the Sheriff’s HARP program by helping incarcerated individuals with addictions and introducing a coping and healing mechanism called Trauma Tapping.  According to Kerri, Trauma Tapping is based on acupuncture and works with the 12 energy meridians in the body.  As a clinician, Kerri is the first to admit that she was highly skeptical of how Trauma Tapping could help people to break free from long-standing addiction, and emotional and psychological barriers.  With training and consistent effort, Kerri started to see the positive results of this untraditional treatment not just with the incarcerated individuals, but even the correction officers and other members of the Sheriffs’ staff.  Standing by their, ‘we do crazy’ mantra, Kerri launched a series of Trauma Tapping videos for Tik Tok Tuesdays. It wasn’t long before these videos garnered millions more views, but also attracted the attention of Bunnie, wife of country music artist, Jelly Roll.  Once Jelly Roll started following the Trauma Tapping videos that were posted, weekly, millions more opted in to watch this unique and evidence-based treatment.  In 2023 Jelly Roll made his first in-person visit to the Chesterfield County jail, asking to ‘meet the tapping lady’.   He returned again in the Fall of 2024, while touring, and made a one-of-a-kind grand gesture, that impacted more than the men behind the wall.

The Hustler Files Ep 90 - We Do Crazy

"U Won't Be There" is a raw and heartfelt track that tells the story of love gone wrong, the pain of betrayal, and the struggle to find meaning after loss. With emotional lyrics and a vibe that hits different, this song is for anyone who's felt the sting of heartbreak. Press play and let the music speak for itself

Lyrics:
All This Bitches Tryna Knocks Me of My Grind.
She Said She Wanna Ride, But She Tried to Kill My vibe.
Without Her, I'm Addicted to the Drugs.
Now This Shit is Hitting Different on My Mind.

Drinking 'till the pain is gone.
Nothing Worths to Wait for It.
She Wants something I Can't afford.

Pulling Like a Monster.
Always Ruined Her Make up.
Since She Gone and I'm Alone.

She's Shooting with Her Eyes, Like She's Superman.
I Told Her That I'm weird, She Said What's Wrong with That.
Remember When You Were Scared, I Told You I Got Your Back.
Like "X", I've dug two Graves, but YOU WON'T BE THERE.

(You Won't Be There) x4.

She was My love, now I write Bitch after Her Name.
Always Thought She's Different, But She's Just the Same.
We Shared Everything, Even The pills She Takes.
Fall For Her Smile, but now I know It's Fake

She's Shooting with Her Eyes, Like She's Superman.
I Told Her That I'm weird, She Said What's Wrong with That.
I Made Her the Only Girl, Never Played Her in the Back.
Who Ever You'll Fuck, I'll Be the Best.

Niggas Been Calling and Asking for Shit.
I've Been at My Lowest, Nobody Was There.
Heart So Empty, No Feeling to Share.
'cause My Hommy Took My Hoe, I Knew She's Bitch.

Empty Soul

U Won't be there

U Won't be There

In It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Numb), the chaos isn’t just coming—it’s already here. The Chairman plays golf while the world crumbles, war rages endlessly, and social media feeds keep the masses distracted with dopamine hits and misinformation. The song spirals from blind optimism into resignation, capturing the relentless churn of manipulated crises, collapsing institutions, and the numbing realization that there’s no escape. The world keeps burning, the algorithm keeps scrolling, and everyone keeps playing along.

OUT OF BOUNDS SERIES with Rich Dalton

begging you to come back, I know my friends will judge. 
Maybe one more shot and I won't suffer so much. 
your suitcases in the living room that I can't budge. 
and among them is this ugly yellow clutch. 

We're chatting and buzzing, make everything from nothing, they hate fuzzy-wuzzy, turning love into a classic. 
Drunk as hell, I still dream of your touch. 
Thank you for leaving the clutch. 

I know I saw the future, but it's blurry
you're not used to bowing your head and saying sorry. 
It's so sad that you can't do that for me.
i think i got this feelings to bury

you forgot your clutch when you went to pick up your stuff.
bloody lip and bruises under the eyes, you call this love?
I'm flying across the room, we're fighting non-stop 
Up in my castle I'm smoking a blunt

I was told I was acting hysterically, but I'm alive
Do you remember I'm wet? Do you remember I'm tight? 
I thought you were cheating on me with one, but there's five. 
Keep fucking them, you're still mine. 

begging you to come back, I know my friends will judge. 
Maybe one more shot and I won't suffer so much. 
your suitcases in the living room that I can't budge. 
and among them is this ugly yellow clutch. 

We're chatting and buzzing, make everything from nothing, they hate fuzzy-wuzzy, turning love into a classic. 
Drunk as hell, I still dream of your touch. 
Thank you for leaving the clutch

♪ baby, when you're out of town, it's drizzling ♪ 
you heal my burns and wounds like thistles. 
♪ but saying she's hotter cuts like a chisel ♪ 
♪ keep hating your curls, I love them, frizzle ♪

i will not be the person you settle for 
just because you cannot have her
And one day a new name will appear in my life, 
which will turn the previous one into dust.  

I remember saying I hate that you're blonde. 
but now I don't know how to break that bond. 
you said I had cute dimples, and I fell, how prosaic, 
where's the devil I have to sell my soul to? So archaic. 

There are so many people on my phone 
and I only want you
I miss my future love of my life, I so want it to be you 
we've been through a lot, I love how I grew 
up next to you 

There are doubts about the baby, dissolve 'em with a pack of dough,   
She said she doesn't want to ex... periment but asks for more. 
I wanna ride her, can't hide it, 
I want to take her for a ride, 
and I don't want to deny it, I don't care that we broke up х2

begging you to come back, I know my friends will judge. 
Maybe one more shot and I won't suffer so much. 
your suitcases in the living room that I can't budge. 
and among them is this ugly yellow clutch. 

We're chatting and buzzing, make everything from nothing, they hate fuzzy-wuzzy, turning love into a classic. 
Drunk as hell, I still dream of your touch. 
Thank you for leaving the clutch.

This song is raw, real, and personal( Original song of Svetlana Fjodorova)

"Lazy Crazy Bitch" is about a woman who drinks all day and smokes joints like there's no tomorrow — stuck in the same loop, losing time, losing self.

I wrote this as a wake-up call — not just for her, but for myself.
I used to be that person. 
This track is for anyone battling addiction, stuck in the fog, or watching someone they love disappear into it.

 If you’ve been there — or you’re still in it — this song is  for you.

Hi, I’m a Russian singer-songwriter living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I’ve been writing poetry since I was a child, and about 13 years ago, my poems turned into songs.
Music has always been my way of processing life — from deep emotions to everyday thoughts.
I write pop ballads, but I also explore different styles depending on the mood and message.

Every track I create is a piece of my story — honest, raw, and real.
Thanks for listening.
