When Hellcat Hot went viral, TMC became one of the fastest-rising young artists in Baltimore. Overnight, he had the attention, the momentum, and the talent to take over the city. But behind the scenes, something else was happening — something he never fully opened up about until now.In this raw and vulnerable conversation, TMC The Don sits down with Jay Hill to share how signing a label deal early in his career changed everything.

For a young artist still trying to understand himself, the silence became heavier than the fame.This episode dives deep into how that experience affected his confidence, personal life, creativity, and mental health — and how it ultimately forced him to grow up, rebuild, and find his voice again. This isn’t just a story about the music industry. It’s a story about timing, self-discovery, and learning how to rise after being broken.Whether you’re an artist, creator, or someone who’s ever felt stuck or misunderstood, TMC’s journey will hit home.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-jay-hill-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
