The OTG Podcast | EP51 Feat Lexaay! | Give Them Folks They Flowers!
🎙️ OTG Podcast – Episode 51
In this unfiltered episode, Dallas singer‑songwriter and dancer Lexaay! joins the crew to share her journey from ballet‑trained dancer at Booker T. Washington High School to genre‑bending R&B artist. Lexaay! opens up about finishing her upcoming EP “Next,” the pressure to release music, and how classical training influences her style. She also reflects on grief, mental health, and the importance of hobbies and self‑care while navigating relationships and the music industry.
The hosts dive into all things culture—from Kanye West, Chris Brown, and the state of R&B to dating expectations, splitting bills, and the “soft girl era.” They discuss the value of community, giving artists their flowers, and how growing up in Dallas shaped their hustle. The conversation turns serious with a segment on environmental racism: the NAACP is suing Elon Musk’s xAI over air pollution from its Memphis data center after the company operated gas turbines without permits, endangering predominantly Black neighborhoods.
Later, the panel touches on the influence of social media, the challenges of living in Los Angeles, and why so many artists are moving to cities like Chicago. They wrap up with shout‑outs, music recommendations (Scutino, KWN, Justin Bieber’s new album), and a candid discussion about the realities of being a creative in 2025.
