  • Eddie Pillz: Unfiltered — Music, Survival & South Carolina

    Eddie Pillz: Unfiltered — Music, Survival & South Carolina
    Jul 21 2026
    South Carolina artist Eddie Pillz sits down with Jermlife on the MDN Network Podcast for an unfiltered conversation about music, marketing, survival, relationships and rebuilding his life after serious setbacks. Eddie explains why he treats every piece of content like a commercial, calls McDonald’s “the biggest trapper in the world,” and reveals the strategy behind expanding his name from Columbia to a national audience. He also discusses creating music alone, performing in front of his dogs, sacrificing financially for his career and learning how to separate Eddie Pillz the artist from Rashad the man. The conversation gets even deeper as Eddie speaks about incarceration, leaving the streets behind, outgrowing dangerous environments, dating while becoming more recognizable and why some people want to see him succeed—just not before them. He also addresses the Diesel McDuffie situation, South Carolina’s music industry and why he remains committed to building his career from his home state. Presented by MDN Network Podcast and streaming on Buck TV+.

    May 30 2026
    Kevin “Lil Bo” Nelson, Founder & CEO of Head Hunter Records, sits down with @JermLife on MDN Network for a real conversation about Carolina music history, street lessons, the early 2000s music scene, and how Big Head Hunter Records helped shape a movement. In this episode, Lil Bo talks about his life before the music business, being around Atlanta during the Big Meech/BMF era, bringing game back down to the Carolinas, starting his record company, and working with artists who made noise across the region and beyond. This conversation touches on the history behind artists and records connected to the Carolina movement, including Lil Ru and “The Nasty Song,” “Don’t I Look Good,” Lil Brod “Do You Mind, Colard Greens, “Everybody Looking,” and the rise of regional hits that helped open doors for the new generation of Carolina artists. Before today’s spotlight on artists like Trap Dickey, the Carolinas had a real foundation being built by independent labels, street promoters, artists, DJs, and entrepreneurs who were moving records before social media made it easy. This is more than a podcast. This is Carolina music history. Presented by Buck TV+ and MDN Network.
