Episode 71: "Timeless" (feat. Nay $peaks)

Bad For The Community

On this week of Bad For The Community, we're joined by the highly-talented Boston artist/poet known as Nay $peaks! At the young age of 19, Nay has shown to be wise beyond her years, which is evident throughout our conversation with her and especially her debut album, "Nayborhood Healer". In this episode, Nay spoke on her victory at the The Chamber #003 earlier this year (2:50), and how that momentum carried into her freshmen year of college in Atlanta (8:20).
She also shared with us the story of when she freestyled in front of Tsu Surf in the middle of Boston (15:10), the process of creating her album "Nayborhood Healer" (21:40), and the "torture" she goes through to prepare for a performance (56:00). At the end of the episode, we also got a chance to gift Nay $peaks with her own mystery box from Newbury Comics, including vinyl albums from some of her biggest influences (1:06:10). We hope y'all enjoy this conversation, just as much as we did! And make sure to go listen to "Nayborhood Healer" to find out what all the hype is about... you won't regret it!
