EP#40 Why Being Yourself Made Goodz a Battle Rap Legend

PowerPlayPodcast305239 — Sat, 05 Sep 2026 22:45:00 GMT

Battle rap is more than yelling and punchlines - Goods breaks down why the real edge is being unapologetically yourself, staying composed under pressure, and knowing how to turn every round into a statement. If you care about battle rap, authenticity, and building a brand that lasts beyond the stage, this one hits hard. Madyboy and Jay Lock sit down with Goodz

, the veteran battle rapper whose style, confidence, and consistency have made him a fan favorite and a problem for top-tier opponents. He reflects on the battles that defined him, the moments when people underestimated him, and why some of his sharpest performances came against names like Roc, Eazy, T-Top, Hitman Holla, Cassidy, and Calicoe.

You’ll discover:

Why Goods says his on-stage presence is just “being himself”
How social media changed battle rap and rewarded personas over authenticity
Why quick, direct writing is harder than it looks and can decide a battle
What really happens when a crowd wants you to lose before you even start
How battle rap has shifted from a packed culture into one built on moments, controversy, and accessibility

He also opens up about life outside the ring, from running businesses and building his Slick Talk brand to launching shoes, fragrance, apparel, and stores with a long-term mindset. Goods shares the real difference between fans and supporters, why he’d rather lose money building something than waste it, and how mentorship, ownership, and financial literacy became a bigger part of his journey than battle rap itself.There’s also a powerful stretch on the current state of battle rap, the role of bloggers and face-offs, why too much accessibility changed the culture, and what young artists should do with their first check. Along the way, he talks about his relationship with Lil Wayne, what success really means to him, and why one thought can change your life if you actually act on it.Essential listening if you love battle rap, entrepreneurship, and real talk about staying grounded while leveling up.

PowerPlayPodcast305239 — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 22:45:00 GMT

Most artists are told to chase fame. Baby Savage built a career by chasing systems, cash flow, and control - and it changed everything. In this conversation, the God of Grind breaks down how he turned selling CDs out of his trunk into a touring machine, a booking business, and a blueprint for independent artists who want real money without a major label.Hosted by MadyBoyDaGoat and Jay Lock, this episode follows Baby Savage from the streets and prison to the business book that changed his mindset, to the first club show that made $2,000, to the first tour that hit $150,000. He explains why small towns, door deals, and quantity over quality can outperform the usual big-city grind, and why most artists leave money on the table by ignoring structure.You'll discover:

How Baby Savage used education and repetition to build a music business from scratch
The exact math behind his 200-shows-a-year model and how he turned touring into $500K years
Why he prefers small and mid-sized markets over major cities
How he negotiates club deals, brand deals, podcasts, and promo on the road
The difference between being an artist and being a businessman in the music industry

Baby Savage also opens up about building generational wealth, investing in real estate and businesses, and why he is focused on creating a black-owned universal style network with 200 locations by 2038. He shares how he works with Gunplay, why the partnership is already going viral, and how his campaign mindset has helped revive attention for artists like Young L.A. and Young Bleed.The conversation also touches the importance of loyalty, discipline, mental toughness, and why the next generation needs more than talent - they need work ethic, consistency, and a plan. If you care about independent music, artist development, entrepreneurship, or the real mechanics of turning hustle into assets, this one is packed with game.Essential listening for artists, managers, promoters, and anyone trying to build something that lasts - not just something that trends.
