Wake yo ass up! ⏰ In this highly anticipated episode, we sit down with the incredibly talented rapper, singer, and actress straight out of Oakland, California—Seminary Tiff!

Tiff gets real with us about her journey navigating the music industry as an independent powerhouse. We dive deep into what it takes to stay true to yourself, breaking barriers as an openly gay female artist in Hip-Hop, and the raw dedication it takes to build a name from the ground up. From her early days being inspired by legends like Da Brat to the emotional process of channeling the loss of her father into her music, Tiff holds nothing back.
