(Audio) Marisa Mendez on ‘And Then You Graduate’

A childhood friend of mine, John Dixon, recently launched a podcast and asked me to drop in to discuss my career thus far. Per their description:
“The ATYG crews sits down with Hot 97 personality and podcast host Marisa Mendez for this episode where we dive into what it takes to make it in the media and music industry, how her super fandom brought her almost all her opportunities, from Juelz Santana to Joe Budden, and she even shares some touching moments with us from her personal life.
This episode was recorded before she left the Joe Budden podcast “I’ll Name This Podcast Later” and you can hear the moments where her new show “Marisa Explains It All” was still just a thought in her head. In normal ATYG fashion we ask Marisa our rapid fire questions, dive deep into specifics of her routines and try give you guys an opportunity to see just how down-to-earth, chill, amazing and cool she really is. Enjoy the show! This is… And Then You Graduate.”

Interview: Marisa Mendez Speaks With The Snobette

Thank you for the interview! Read it HERE!

Yesterday morning, an energetic Travi$ Scott took over Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning to discuss his new album, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight (which is on pace for a number one debut.)
