If You Only Knew The Half
Roll with us on If You Only Knew the Half podcast. This no excuses podcast explores how real “soulja’s” survive. This is real talk because we’re living it. You all know, it ain't real unless you've lived it. Gloves off, no excuses, nowhere to hide conversations. We’re your hosts, Soulja and Wild Child. Our survival is real, and angels are your only witness—society counted us out a long time ago, but we’ve still here.
Each week, we’ll drop an episode and a beat and talk about life and what keeps us hopeful and how we overcome obstacles. We’ll be talking about things like God is my Sponsor and Mental Health. Our music has kept us here, inspired us. But it’s more than inspiration, it’s acting every day. It’s Smash mode and NO Excuses.
So, whether you’re into [hip-hop, R&B or just love music] roll with us, because we want to inspire you to get into SMASH mode. If you need real inspiration and encouragement, this podcast is for you. Tomorrow Ain’t Promised to You - So let’s roll.
