103.7 Da Beat

1) Ike Midas, tell the people what Midwest city your representing for?
My name is Ike Midas I'm here representing for Cedar Rapids Iowa.

2) When did you start professionally become a Hip Hop artist?
I'd say I started to take my career seriously in 2013 when I decided I wanted to do something productive with my life that people could be proud of and my family could grow from.

3) I originally saw you at an Iowa Summer jam concert, how important are events like this for the Iowa ? Yea that was a good year! I think events like summer jam are super important because it give you the opportunity to show your talents to a wider range of artist in our state. It also gives us the chance to make connections that we may not have had access to without coming together. And it gets better every year!

4) Your single "Gimme My Ring" has created a lot of buzz for you and Tone Da Boss. For those who don't know tell the people what professional sport teams has used the record on their social media?
Sooo. Give Me My Ring started off as a submission song for NBA2K but they turned it down. Shortly after we get a call saying the Chicago Sky won the WNBA Championship and they used our song as their background music for their commercial. That was crazy to me being an artist from Iowa. I couldn't have even imagined. But the NBA had a bigger plan as well because the Golden State Warriors happen to win the Championship as well and they decided to run with it as well. That was beyond mind blowing to see my favorite team and player singing along to our song as they celebrated a national championship season once again. They did a parade and made a video using Give Me My Ring and shortly after it was all over social media. We are both greatful of both teams and forever will be.

5) How did "Gimme My Ring" come about? What was going on in the studio?
The song came about for the NBA2K game that was about to release. Chuck mentioned it to me one day in the studio while I was there to record another song with Tone and said it was worth trying to get placement on the video game so we just threw the beat in and started throwing bars around. It didn't take long to come up with the hook and from there we both took flight. Now it's a Championship anthem lol.

6) You and Tone Da Boss just dropped the duo EP. Champions, tell us about it
Champions is our way of bringing straight winning anthems. Each song has a unique style of a champion. Every song is ment to motivate and push the listener to feeling like a Champion. It's our first album with no swear words at all and no derogatory statements. We felt we needed to show our versatility and uniqueness. We also dropped a couple videos to support what we bringing. The first is "Celebration" shot by Key Frames the next is "To The Maxxx" shot by Azonte. Both videos are unique in their own way and show us being bigger then life in its own way.

7) what's your social media handles so the people can follow your day to say activities?
If you want to keep up with me the best way is social media of course. My main sources are Facebook "Mike Hicks" or Instagram "ikey2224" my Spotify account is Ike Midas and my email is ikey2224@icloud.com for anyone looking for more personal inquiries. Feel free to reach out I'm very approachable.

I appreciate you taking the time to let me connect with your fans and supporters and hope we can do this again in the future. Until then Be A "Champion"

1) Blizm, The Dangerous Unc!!! Introduce yourself to 103.7 Da Beat audience
Whats Good! I'm Blizm, artist, producer, engineer and founder of Chainless Entertainment, and K-100 Radio. I've been in the music industry over 25 years, starting out as a creative and artist in 1999. I have several works of music that I've released on my independent label, Chainless Entertainment over the years including five solo albums with my sixth album, "The Dangerous Unc" being the latest that is scheduled to be released on Feb. 19, 2026. I started K-100 Radio, which is an award winning 24/7 live streaming digital radio platform, officially in 2011. It was a way for me to expand my brand as a creative and also put my skill set as a media production major in college to use, while at the sametime helping other indie artists. I act as the Program and Music Director for the broadcast as well as producing some of the shows and being an on-air personality, conducting interviews from time to time.

2) Born and Raised in Florida and planted roots in Atlanta? Tell us about that transition?
Well I moved to Atlanta in 1997, and I visited a few times before I made the move and really it just made sense. I had aspirations to be in the music industry and this city was on fire, literally everyone was moving here in the industry. Major labels were setting up offices and major artists were buying homes here. It only made sense. Plus it was only a 5 hour drive from my hometown, Panama City, FL. I also loved the display of black excellence and culture in Atlanta. It just felt right and made the most sense so I moved here and started my grind. I met my first producer, Doc Zo, in 1998 and my first album dropped in December 1999. I went to a school, AIU here in Buckhead to learn audio/video and media Production a few years later. So that's how I got into the latest creative technology at the time, which also helped me as an artist and label owner. I learned how to record and mix my own music, and shoot and edit my own music videos, cutting down on the cost of running the label and producing my projects.

3) So you got ATL started pursuing the music and you put it on the back burner and created K100 Radio?
Yeah that is the condensed, very short version and way to put it. It wasn't something I planned though. I had been doing music for a decade, I had 4 albums out at the time. Then I saw a shift in the social media space and noticed people gravitating to different kinds of platforms outside of music. So because I had the skill set and knowledge, I entered what would now become known as the Podcast space way before it was cool or popular back in 2009. I started K-100 as a Podcast on a platform called Blogtalk Radio, and I would just play music by other indie artists and talk about it. Then we started a call in a talk show and a music review segment called, "ILL or KILL" that was pretty popular, but I felt like it was too sporadic. We only did it once a week. I brainstormed, did a little research and saw that the technology to create an internet radio broadcast was something I could do. I bought all the necessary gear to start K-100 Radio as an Internet Radio broadcast that focused on the music industry and playing indie music. It was a gradual transition but once I started it, it took off really quickly and got very popular. I helped pioneer what is now the online music review space with "ILL or KILL" because I was one of the first people to infuse going live on social media with the show. It caught fire and made the brand spread quickly online. That plus the fact we would pop up outside to all the music industry events in the city and a few beyond and do live interviews. So with all of that going on, running the broadcast, I just basically moved away from creating music as much as I was. But again, that was never really my plan.

4) Now you have K100 established, you're back in the booth! Now you have been dropping singles here n there the last couple years but now it seems like u found that one; tell us about "Clean Up Nice" !?!?
Well Clean Up Nice was the song that was picked to be the single off the new album, The Dangerous Unc. But when I recorded it, I did not know it would be the single. To circle back a bit, like you said I did drop a few songs in between my last album, "The Cinema Of Me", which came out in 2011. In between then and now I dropped six singles and I also Executive Produced and R&B album that was released on my label. So while it was far and few between, I did create and drop some music. But once I decided to commit to creating another whole album, I just created several songs over the span of two years, adn the best of them would be used for the album as long as they fit the theme. After sitting down with all the songs, "Clean Up Nice" stood out for several reasons. The production, the hook sung by C-Rena, a very dope R&B artist from Tampa, and plus the vibe of the song made it stand out. It was the one song that could appeal to a wide swath of the targeted demographic for the project. That demographic being older, Adult contemporary Hip-Hop music lovers. Although I felt strongly about other songs on the project, "Clean Up Nice" was just a vibe, it was relatable and it made people feel good. And that's what you want in a single.

5) The love your getting is very dope to see. How important is networking? And when I say networking budgets for services , swap outs, showing up to events.
I can tell you without a doubt that the 15 plus years of doing K-100 Radio and being at all kinds of music events in a media capacity, definitely helped build the network I have today. Although at the time I did not realize what I was building, I just knew that doing radio was fun. I actually had fun doing it and along the way I just kept building relationships with other artists and platform owners. Now some of those same people have platforms that are showing love and support to the music, based on the relationships that were built over the years I was doing all the groundwork for K-100 Radio. It really is a cool thing to see and receive because sometimes you feel like all of the hard work is for nothing. You see these celebrity artists start up a podcast and immediately start doing crazy numbers by leveraging their fan bases from their music, and as a platform it's like why even do it you know. But, I'm just doing what they did, leveraging my fanbase and network from K-100 Radio, to do it in reverse and boost my music. Crazy how that worked out..but I'll take it!.

6) What do you have planned for the Spring and Summer ?
Well, I'm going to continue to push "The Dangerous Unc" for sure. One thing I've learned for sure over all these years, is that when you drop a project as an indie artist you can NOT just give up on it after a few months. That's just not how it works. So, I'll still be doing K-100 Radio, and pushing The Dangerous Unc. Expect to see several visuals from the project. The album is full of songs that deserve videos, so I plan to shoot at least three if not more. At the same time, I'll be living my grown man life, enjoying my friends, family and traveling as much as I can. I'm past the point in life of wanting to be a "rap star". This album was a personal legacy project, so the fact that it's even coming out at all is what I really wanted to accomplish. Everything else, the radio play, the interviews, the shows... All of that is bonus stuff for me. I love and appreciate it, but It wasn't what I was striving for or thinking of as I was creating the album. I just didn't want to leave the game with my last project as an artist being over 15 years ago. I couldn't live with that. But since I decided to jump back into the game, I had to do it the right way. The professional way, and so here we are.

7) What's some advice do you have for someone who has took some time off from music and want to get back in it ?
If you are like me and you are up there in age, I highly suggest that you do the music that you want to do, and not try to do the music that will help you "blow up" in your mind. From what I can see and the feedback I've been getting, people want something different. They want older artists to put out the music that fits them. Alos, don't second guess yourself too much. Go with your gut and just do it. There are a ton of new tools at your disposal, it's not even as hard or costly to drop quality music. So get in the lab and get to work.

8) Social Media handles?

But... if you want to go straight there, follow me @Blizm_Chainless and @K100_Radio on IG and just search Blizm and K-100 Radio on any other platform, we are easy to find. Peace

1) I ain't even gne hold you,, when I was coming up ,, I was bad as all get out,, and my gramps use to have hella nicknames for me,, Good Buddy,, Spotey Yotie,, and BiZzY Body was the one that reflected my behavior because I was always into something I shouldn't have been. And BiZzY just stuck!! And when I actually got to professionally making music,, BiZ was what I was always called!!  Now,, Da Troof,, was added after my battling and freestyling rap times!! After I rap or perform,, people repeatedly would be like,, BiZ, Da Troof!!! And I liked how it sounded,, so the people basically gave me the second part of my name!! So I trademarked it when I learned it's what needed to be done!!! And that's been my stage name ever since!!
2) Cincinnati, Ohio!!! Cin-City OH-10 til it all ends!! It was a mix of good times and bad times!! I lived in just about every hood we got at 1 point or another!! All the way up to now!! Cincinnati is a city where back when I was coming up,, it will make a man outta you!! I love my city,, and I'm thankful for the thick skin it equipped me with to be out here tryna put the bottom of the heart of it all,, on the map!!!
3) I like to think dropped some heat forreal inna 2010s!! In 2009 going into 2010,, I had a song called "I See The Haterz Hatin" produced by Fee,, I followed it up with See You 2marrow feat. Big Neek and The Great Bam Bino Pro by Big Neek(now known as Neek Cutter),, I joined a faction known as Swagg Music Group AKA Swagg2G and dropped Wildboyz Swagg feat Prince City Pro by myself and O.E.,, Then I split from them and joined Dirty Jerzzz Entertainment and I dropped"Errybody Friends With Me" Pro by me and O.E.,, "Bitch I'm Jerzzz'D Out" Pro by me and O.E.,, My most popular and unkillable record to date "All Night All Day" Pro by me and O.E.,,,"Tha Turn Up Is Real" Pro by me and O.E.,, and "Anotha 1" Pro by Sparkz Tha Trakman!! So from the end of 2009 ta the end of 2019,, I was definitely bussin moves in the booth,, and that don't include records I featured onsuch as "Flat Out" with D.L. Mr. GrownMan,,"Aye Yo" with Bigg BreeZe,,and "We Serious We Live" withDouble Vision and much more!!!
4) I caught an ugly a** case and the state was tryna make an example out of me which sent me to prison!! Forreal not to go into my case,, I really could have been killed!!! But,, Originally I was facing 17-40,, I took a plea for 9,, appealed 2 charges and got 4years knocked off which the state don't wanna admit,, they actually got it lookin like a clerical error that was corrected,, but my  "Legal Work" is proof that I had them whooped in court!! I been tryna appeal the 5years i served as well ,, but the state ain't finna let me back in court again!! If I go back and win this time,, they will owe me a big bag,, so they just keep postponing my appeal that I filed while I was down!! So yeah,, I did 4 and a half years,, and got out on parole 6months early,, But the 6months I was still on paper,, in the halfway,,  and on the box,, then I ain't get off paper til a few months ago,, so with all they bs,, it was a Nick Bodie 5years,, sho!!! And I was in paper for another year and some change,, so really,, I technically did 6years if you count being on paper!!! Justice System Skepp!!!
5) it's 1 or 2 things different , but for the most part,, it's all business to me!! And I was only gone 5 so,, Ain't much changed to me!! I mean content is a bigger part now more than it ever was before,, it's more folks gettin they movie on and gettin exposed,, but I expected that,, and if you ain't official you ain't gettin paid!! I had to laugh cuz I was still gettin royalty checks when I was down,, so I have to just remember i definitely always took care of business so i just focus on continuing to do that and I figure I'll be aight!!
6)My first single I dropped upon returning to Music is entitled Workin' Naked,, It was Actually me Kind of giving a shout out to the strippers and exotic dancers because the entire time I was down and now that I'm home,all i wanted and continue to want is ta get around some women!! I mean, c'mon,, All I have been doin time with is males,, (Big Pause)and that will never be fa me!!! You hear me?? So needless to say, I ain't goin back!!! And keep in mind Something,, I didn't pick this record as a single,, My circle, my Homies, my team, my DJs,, they were responsible for Workin' Naked becoming single,, not me!!! And,,  my most recent single "You Out"  which is like an anthem to let the disloyal people who use to be around me know that I'm cuttin them off,, this joint too became a single the same way!!! Personally I Didn't think,, And for that matter, I still don't think that after being down for five Years,, I Truly know what the people wanna hear!!! I don't know what the audience will like,, or what the fans will like!! I'm just in the booth doing what I love to do,, Opinions don't gotta matter to me,, my Circle can tell me what's gne go and what won't!!! 
7) Everything is @BiZDaTroof That's ig,, TikTok,, Snap,, Twitter (X)YouTube,  Threads,, Facebook,,ITS ALL @BiZDaTroo

Introduce yourself to 103.7 Da Beat listeners; name and city?

I'm PettyAssPunkin and I am based in Des Moines, Iowa. I was born and raised in Englewood in Chicago Il. I started rapping after living out here in Des Moines for a couple years.

Where did you get your stage name from ?

My stage name reflects my personality. I remember arguing with a friend initially because they thought "PrettyAssPunkin" would be better. It's a lot of women claiming they pretty, imma claim what I been hearing people call me most of my life - so I chose Petty, PettyAssPunkin.

What's life like in Des Moines, Iowa?

Different. I'll start there. I been in survival mode most of my life, Des Moines is somewhere where you get the tools you need to sit down but if you never knew how it's hard.

Tell us about your latest single, "Whatever"? Produce it? Concept?

So I wrote the song "Whatever" at a time in my life when I was over everything. Like everything! I wanted war with anybody that had a problem with me, and I didn't care about anything if it did not serve me. It was a pivotal moment and a pivotal song for my career. It felt like I had taken a deep breath and settled in to who I was. The song is produced by Shawn Ferrari.

You have a new project; Trench B*tch Vol.2, hitting all streaming platforms Oct. 24th, tell us about it?

TBV2 is special to me. It drops on my mama's birthday, which is a weird coincidence because I don't think my distributor knew her bday. But TBV2 is like an extension of "Whatever". You get to learn more about past, present and future me. This specific album was pivotal for my career because I finally learned who I was to music, settled in, & got cozy. I knew I wasn't ever leaving the game.

What do you have planned for the rest of the year?

My next album in line to drop is "Mean Girlz" produced by Frozen Productions. DJ Kmean outta St. Louis is actually hosting it. It's dropping this winter. I was also just nominated for a second time as Iowa's Best Female Rapper in the Iowa Music Awards. The award ceremony is this November.

Who is Tarcea Renee:Tarcea Renee is a recording artist, producer, and engineer born and raised in St. Louis. I grew up on the North Side of St. Louis in Walnut Park. For the majority of my career, my music was heavily influenced by the streets and Hip-Hop artists I looked up to. By 2010, I was saved and took a short break from music to start learning more about God for myself. By 2011, I was back to it, but many people in the church felt like I was ''too urban'', and some in the hood thought I was too ''churchy'' for them to still rock with. I would say I''m more of a bridge between the streets and the church. I use music to bring real-life experiences and faith together. --What life was like growing up in St. Louis:Growing up in Walnut Park and running through Pagedale as well, I was surrounded by both the raw realities of the streets and the deep-rooted culture of Hip-Hop and some of the realities we experienced living in impoverished communities with a lack of access to certain resources. The city was rough, but it shaped my resilience and creativity. Music was always a part of my world, whether it was hearing beats in the neighborhood or writing my own lyrics to help me process life as I seen it. St. Louis is a place where you have to learn how to be strong, and that''s reflected in the way I move in the industry today.--The spark that made me want to make music/records:While growing up, I listened to so much music everywhere I went! Whether I was home, away from home, with my parents or by myself, I stayed listening to artists like 2Pac, Biggie, Three 6 Mafia, and Lil'' Wayne. Eventually, I started to write my own lyrics because I just felt like I could do it myself as a hobby. The hobby had grown into a passion so much that I began to produce beats for myself on FL Studio 5. With me naturally not being much of a talker, it was the best way for me to express what I seen and felt growing up. Hip-hop in the ''90s and early 2000s had a major influence on me, and I wanted to tell my own story through music.--Explain your style and sound:My sound is a blend of street energy and spiritual depth-Midwest Hip-Hop with an authentic message. It''s real and rooted in truth. Think of a mix between gritty storytelling and uplifting inspiration. Sonically, I love heavy 808s and beats that hit hard while still allowing room for lyrics.--About my single, inspiration, and who produced it:The Gift 2.0 is all about real freedom-the kind that doesn''t come from trying to act perfect as someone who believes in God but from knowing that only God can be perfect and that Jesus paid for our freedom on the cross. So we don''t have to work or depend on ourselves to prove ourselves to God or try to make ourselves seem good enough for God. If we believe in God, we can rest in knowing that God didn''t give up on us, we can truly live in the fact that our sins are forgiven and now we can move different, live free, and walk in that truth every day. The Producer name is Til December. --My favorite cartoon growing up:Rocket Power was definitely my favorite cartoon growing up. I loved how they had a tight crew that always supported each other-I never really thought about it but that''s kind of how I moved as a teenager and now as an adult.--Outside of music, what do I do for fun:When I''m not working on music, I''m usually spending time with family for fun and there''s a certain joy I get from helping other artists grow as well.--Any mixtape or EP/album coming soon?Definitely! I''m working on a collection of songs that I really can''t speak on at the moment but I will post about it as soon as we start moving the songs publicly.--Social Media:You can find me on all social media and music outlets at @TarceaRenee or visit my website TarceaRenee.com for more music and updates

Could you tell the 103.7 Da Beat fans a little about you?
- Well i've been writing and singing songs for almost 11 years. I'm one of 8 kids and i'm smack dab in the middle so, for me, music always felt like the place I could be heard. There's nothing like growing up in a mix of so many completely different personalities and being able to draw inspiration not only from yourself but what you see the ones you love experience as well. Even how they choose to deal with that experience can inspire emotions in you that you've maybe never even felt for yourself.

Who or what influenced you to sing?
- I cannot lie when I answer this question even though I think it makes me sound a little bit crazy. One of my earliest memories in life is being about 4 years old and riding in the car with my dad listening to music. He always played music that had true soul and meaning and one day in particular I remember sitting in the back seat, alone for once, listening to the stereo and thinking... that's gonna be me one day. I've always wanted to be the kind of person who can inspire others to feel strongly.

Your single "For Real", can you tell us a little about the song? Motivation for it? Who Produced it?
- For Real feels like one of my greatest accomplishments as a songwriter. Even while writing this song I could tell it was years in the making. I think everyone experiences deceit or betrayal in one way or another which causes us to struggle with the reality of our relationships. This song felt like making a breakthrough, acknowledging that when someone disappoints you enough times, that's who they are for real. Being able to recognize you gain strength in confronting the truth is what i want people to take from this track. This track was produced by Rob "Saint" Calloway

When your not working on music what do you like to do?
- I honestly probably have too many past times but I love anything that involves some kind of artistry. I love the layers of meanings and truths in music, art, reading and writing.

Favorite cartoon growing up?
- Picking a favorite cartoon is definitely hard for me but if we're talking about the ones that I would sit through tv commercials to watch then I'd say Teen Titans or Code name kids next door.

Three artists you would like to work with?
- If i got the chance to work with any 3 artists I would want all of them to be people I could truly learn from in every aspect of being an artist. I would have to say for me that would be Jh ne Aiko, Kendrick Lamar, and Ella Mai. Any chance to be in the room with a true artist is a chance to grow.

Tell the people a little about where you're from
I'm originally from Chicago, but I wasn't there long. OGs moved us out to Indianapolis, and have been on the east side ever since. Growing up I was really the only Mexican around haha ?? definitely saw the Latin community grow here, and QUICK.

You've been going in all 2024; you've dropped 3 Ep. projects, tell us about them
I haven't been doing music long, but when I started I was using a different stage name, but when my sound changed I wanted to basically start over, kept the 'FarEastbaby' and it's been GO mode ever since. My first project this yr i titled "The Hardest Migo Eva" (I was at a show one time & someone in the crowd had yelled 'you hard Migo' and ran with it...now I'm just stamping that I'm the HARDEST!) With that project I really wanted to send a message, I'm the hardest..most consistent...migo there is, and a presentation....this is FarEastBaby! The 2nd project was "Migo Talk" . With this project I wanted to let everyone know what a Migo is...and how we're steppin! Only one feature on that tape, shout out the home team & my dawg OsoKing Mezzy! And my latest project, "Head Migo In Charge" or "HMIC" i was emphasizing again im the HARDEST Migo to do it...and i'm not slowing down anytime soon!!

What made you want to get into Hip Hop music
I've always loved HipHop, but when I heard Dolph for the first time that's what made me want to get into the booth myself. Dolph was different man...not talking about sliding on opps or 762s, but motivated us to get some MFN MONEY! I wanna do that...i wanna motivate people to elevate.

Tell us about your single "Do It Again"
"Do It Again" is honestly one of my favorite tracks i've made! The producer (NoyziBeats), shout out to him, sent me the beat while I was at the studio, and the first bar I came up with was the first line to the hook..."Run it up...Do it again. You eva go broke...run it again" I felt a lot of us could relate to that! And it's an example of real life situations how you can be on top of the world one minute...and hit rock bottom the next! it's all about how you bounce back! you either fold under pressure or you run it back!

What do you have coming up; shows, projects,etc
I might drop another short project this year for the fall winter. Not 100% sure yet, but i'm definitely in album mode! My first album will be dropping next yr NO DOUBT! Debating on dropping singles until 2025 or dropping my 4th project this yr and keep it short & sweet. Guess you'll have to stay tuned and see.
