On the latest episode of The Spadez Table, the powerhouse group Sirius Vybe took listeners through their musical origins, their evolution in the entertainment industry, and the creation of their podcast. Known for their deep roots in the Go-Go music scene, the group reflects on their journey while offering invaluable insights on navigating multiple creative avenues.
Sirius Vybe’s journey began in the Silver Hill Boys and Girls Club, where two childhood friends met and bonded over their shared love of music. Both hailing from the vibrant Go-Go scene, one had a history in bands like Raw Deal and Total Recall, while the other rocked with OP Tribe and Publicity. Their relationship, marked by playful trash-talking, flourished as they built their music careers together.
As a natural evolution of their creativity, Sirius Vybe ventured into the podcast world, a step they see as a potential “life after the microphone.” The duo, still figuring out the ins and outs of podcasting, have embraced the journey with open arms. They discuss their initial idea for a variety show, which morphed into their now-thriving podcast. The conversation often takes place around their “space table,” where lighthearted banter and game-related interruptions add to the relaxed atmosphere.
Throughout the podcast, the group dives deep into the music industry, addressing the reasons bands break up. They mention personal differences, money struggles, and lack of defined leadership as major causes. A particularly heated moment comes when the duo addresses a controversial statement they made about the Chuck Brown Band on their podcast, showcasing their willingness to be open about industry challenges.
The conversation takes a personal turn as they discuss their upbringing, describing themselves as the “Southeast Cosby kids” for their close-knit family dynamic. Card games were a staple of their childhood, fostering competition and camaraderie. In addition to their music careers, Sirius Vybe has also dabbled in acting, sharing experiences from their roles in the film The Shop. One member recalls the exhausting 20-hour shoots, joking about sleeping in the barber’s chair during production.
Reflecting on the state of the music business today, the group notes how streaming services have limited traditional revenue streams for artists. Unlike the days when physical CDs generated income, success today is driven by social media presence, with followers determining an artist’s earning potential. Sirius Vybe draws attention to how the Go-Go scene was ahead of its time in live performances, a practice that many artists are just now catching up to.
The group’s future is brimming with excitement, including the highly anticipated Sirius Vibe and Friends cruise, scheduled for March 30th to April 5th, 2025. With performances from Black Alley, DJ Dirty Rico, Monique, and more, the event promises to be a memorable experience for fans. Sirius Vybe also teases other upcoming events, filled with fun predictions and lighthearted moments.
Sirius Vybe wraps up the episode with a call for unity in the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) entertainment community. They emphasize the importance of collaboration among local media and artists rather than competition, believing that the region has the potential to outshine places like Atlanta if people come together. The conversation ends with one of the members leaving the table, making a bold declaration about his commitment to carving his own path in the industry.
