What's up Mofos! I'm back with another Check the Rhymes interview!

MTV'S Wild N Out former cast member Darren "Big Baby" Brand is booked and busy! Darren has several digital shows such as MTV'S Basic To Bougie, and his own leading Facebook show Animal Style. As a comedian, writer, actor and entrepreneur he has had to change his entire business model after all of his shows have been cancelled through June due to the obvious current health concerns. In response, Darren has decided to take his health concerns and others health more seriously by partnering with Viacom and MTV to produce a new virtual show entitled "Fit Baby Get Fit With Darren Brand."

Darren Brand stopped by Check the Rhymes to chat about getting fit, quarantine life, crazy fan stories, and of course he brought the funny with him!

Charmaine Walker and Ryan Henry join Shameika of The Mofo Chronicles TV to talk about the upcoming sixth season of "Black Ink Crew: Chicago." Ryan and Charmaine talk with Shameika about the stigma of mental health and therapy in the Black community, and self care when on an emotional roller coaster.




Ryan Henry’s success and hustle with his tattoo business has broken down barriers and established 9MAG into one of the most sought-after tattoo shops in Chicago. This season, the stakes are high for Ryan as he enters therapy after realizing he’s been using his shop to avoid dealing with the death of his sister. With the help of his brothers Don and Phor, Ryan is determined to keep his circle tight, and continue to develop his relationship with his son while co-parenting with Rachel.

Charmaine Walker is celebrating entrepreneurship in a male-dominated industry by opening one of Chicago’s first female owned and operated tattoo shops. With the help of a renowned British tattoo artist, they plan to employ true Chicago natives, who have struggled through the system and know how to work a tattoo gun. This massive shake-up in the Windy City tattoo industry threatens to take 9MAG’s spot at the top.
