Cleveland's Finest with BKA Watts of Blerds and Clips podcast

Behind the Mic: Powered by REVOLT Podcast Network

Welcome to Behind the Mic: Powered by REVOLT Podcast Network! This week, I’m chopping it up with B.K.A Watts—a self-taught artist, reformed rapper, award-winning host, and podcast producer extraordinaire. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Watts has turned his creative talents into a thriving business that produces 23 podcasts weekly, including four for REVOLT Podcast Network.

In this episode, Watts shares his journey from music to podcasting, his love for storytelling, and how he’s empowering other creators to find their voice. From stepping into the world of magic (yes, actual magic tricks) to discussing the creative outlets that fuel his drive, Watts opens up about living life full throttle. We also dive into a quick-fire ranking game, debating everything from Outkast vs. Wu-Tang to Pharrell vs. Timbaland.

"If you’ve got a talent, use it, and let it take you everywhere." - B.K.A Watts
