That Ain’t My Business ,But Let’s Talk About it!

Join hosts Nesto Tha Don and PTB Uglyman on That Ain't My Business, But Let's Talk About It as they welcome Shreveport-born content creator and comedian Jay McKinney. In this wide-ranging episode, the crew digs into Jay's rise from local stand-up to viral skits, the personality behind his biggest clips, and what it really takes to build an audience in a smaller city. Jay traces his journey from doing stand-up in 2016 and moving briefly to Washington, to discovering online video as a comedy outlet. He breaks down the early posts that blew up (Webby voiceovers, the hood sub teaser, and a viral "ransom note" skit), how platform algorithms shaped his strategy, and why TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook have each played different roles in his growth. The conversation gets into craft: stand-up versus sketch and improv, Jay's comedic influences (Jamie Foxx, Marlon Wayans, Country Wayne, Drewski), writing and performance methods, and his thoughts on ghostwriters and AI tools like ChatGPT. Jay also talks about performing live again, what bombing onstage taught him, and his ambition to land bigger opportunities — including Wild 'N Out-level stages. Hosts and guest explore Shreveport's creative scene — local comedians and creators (Pratt, Munchy, Mark, Scooby, Vic, and others), why comedy sometimes gets less support than music, and ideas for a local resurgence through collaboration and consistent showcases. They also speak frankly about monetization, platform pay, balancing follower counts with engagement, and the pressure to post to stay visible. This episode doesn't shy away from the messy or controversial: Jay discusses pushing boundaries in skits, dealing with negative comments, fans sliding into DMs, and candid takes on sex work, OnlyFans, and dating in the public eye. Between laugh-out-loud moments and serious takes, Jay keeps it humble and honest about family, fatherhood, and staying focused on the grind. Expect real talk, behind-the-scenes stories, and practical insight for creators and comedians trying to make it from a smaller market. Follow Jay on Instagram (@jaymckinney_), TikTok (@jaymckinney_), Facebook (J McKinney Skits), and YouTube (Jay McKinney) — and tune in for a raw, funny look at life as a modern content creator.

<p>On this episode of That Ain't My Business host Nesto Da Dunn sits down with Baton Rouge rapper Scotty Cain for a candid, no-holds-barred conversation about his life before and after prison. Scotty recounts growing up in Sherwood/Fort Boulevard, coming up in a single-parent household, the early street life that pushed him into hustling at 14, and how he found music at 17. He talks through the songs that put him on the map and explains how his street reputation and raw delivery translated into a regional movement.</p> <p>The discussion covers Scotty's years behind bars and the ways incarceration paused — but didn’t end — his momentum: how he used the time to educate himself, write music, and plan his return. He addresses internet rumors and clickbait about re-arrests, explains a detainer situation that caused confusion, and describes his strategy for moving carefully and rebuilding his career now that he’s home.</p> <p>Scotty and the hosts dig into the Baton Rouge scene, naming people he grew up with and collaborated with (from Sherwood standouts to newer artists), and comparing eras and influences. He reflects on relationships with peers like Webbie, Green Eyes, Uncle Bang, JaydaYoungan and others, comments on YoungBoy’s rise, and explains what he looks for in collaborators and producers — including his longtime work with Vine on beats and the loss of a close producer, Austin.</p> <p>The episode also gets personal: Scotty discusses fatherhood, the complicated landscape of relationships after prison, nightlife and OnlyFans culture, women in the scene, and the rough realities that come with visibility. He talks about security, legal exposure tied to boasting online, and why he’s focused on building an organized comeback rather than entertaining online drama.</p> <p>Scotty teases new music — two projects in the works, an EP and singles including a forthcoming video for “Belt the Ass” — and talks about touring, building revenue, and the value of mentorship for younger artists. He offers blunt advice to up-and-coming rappers about using their time wisely, protecting themselves legally, and turning street credibility into a sustainable business.</p> <p>Expect an energetic, often raw interview that mixes gritty storytelling, local music history, industry talk about producers and features, and clear plans for a comeback. If you want an unfiltered look at life after prison for a rising southern rapper and what it takes to re-enter the game on his own terms, this episode delivers.</p>

<p>On this Wake Up, Ratchet City special, hosts Nestor the Dunn and Chance Best react to SCOTTY CAIN release from federal prison and debate whether the self-proclaimed GOAT can mount a true comeback. The episode mixes hot takes, local perspective, and real talk as the hosts unpack how time, reputation and social media will shape Scottie’s return.</p> <p>The conversation covers Scotty Kane’s legacy — his breakout era, leaked moments that affected public perception, and the expectations for his “first day out” drop. The hosts discuss the influence of online clout, feature and interview pricing, and whether collaborations (including the possibility of linking up with big names like NBA YoungBoy) could relaunch Scotty’s career.</p> <p>Beyond Scottie, the episode digs into bigger industry issues: the evolving role of producers, pay-to-play platforms, the impact of visuals and performance on a song’s success, and how artists can rebrand. The hosts call out both the pitfalls and opportunities in today’s rap economy and urge creators to be strategic about promotion and partnerships.</p> <p>Listeners also get shout-outs and updates on regional talent — Zolife, Pluto, Lil’ Calla, Ray Vicks, Mool-A-Pool, J1 and others — with local anecdotes, predictions about who’s next out of Shreveport/B.R., and a lively chatroom of fans weighing in. The episode blends humor, neighborhood gossip, and industry insight to capture the pulse of Louisiana’s rap scene right now.</p> <p>Key takeaways: Scotty Kane has a chance to rebrand and reconnect with his audience, but success will depend on strategy, the right features, and staying out of old drama. The hosts close by urging listeners to support local artists, subscribe to the podcast across platforms, and stay tuned for the anticipated first-day-out music and exclusive interviews.</p>
