He also takes us back to the fierce competition with Tampa’s Wild 98.7, and shares behind-the-scenes stories from his travels and time at other stations.

Plus, we uncovered that he used to be a hooper back in high school! Stu gets real about his personal battles, including a serious health scare that almost made him not here today. Yet through it all, he continues to stand strong—for radio, for his family, and for himself.

"Ladies, do you prefer chocolate or flowers for Valentine's Day? EzzMarie drops some relationship knowledge, which is something she often discusses on her podcast TextToMyExxx.

It sounds like you got a great insight into Snatcha’s perspective on the music scene, especially in Tampa. It’s interesting to hear him talk about how Doechii, who’s now gaining major attention, was picking up on the game just by being around him and his brother. The way he describes Tampa’s music scene also seems pretty raw—highlighting how many artists might get caught up in the flashy rap trends rather than embracing a more authentic hip hop sound. It makes you wonder how much the city’s talent pool could evolve if more artists pushed themselves to step out of their comfort zones and maybe even collaborated more with DJs to build something bigger for the national stage. The idea of the A&R touch and how Tampa has its own vibe but still needs that broader platform to really shine is super relevant, too. A lot of talented cities don't get the national spotlight they deserve, and DJs can really be a bridge for those artists. What do you think it would take for Tampa to really get that national attention—would it be more local collaborations, or do you think it needs something bigger to happen for the city’s music scene to be recognized on that level? Doechii is on the radar of some many people that she is nom for 4 Grammy's. Wish her all the luck.

He also had various odd jobs in his early career. Qeys reflects on how much DJs should be paid and discusses a club he never got to play at in Tampa. He shares insights into DJ competitions, his love for Cincinnati, and the DJ battle world. His favorite music style might surprise you, and he offers do's and don'ts for DJs and artists trying to get their music played. He also talks about networking, the effectiveness of phone messages with DJs, his travel spots, favorite restaurant in Tampa, and his thoughts on bad service in certain U.S. cities.
