Maiya The Don pulls up to Mornings with Mero for a raw, hilarious, and inspiring conversation about her new album Precious Cargo (out now, 15 tracks). She breaks down how therapy and self-care transformed her creative process, why she wrote half the project on a treadmill, and how mentor Mickey Factz completely changed the way she listens to and makes music.
We also get into:
The stories behind singles “Mr. Responsible” and “Let’s Be Clear”
Writing the deeply personal track “Annie” about family wounds
Her gym journey, discipline, and the natural high of endorphins
Her book club “The Fine Print” and mission to uplift Black women writers
The Dr. Pepper debate (don’t come for her drink)
College graduation, sunflower seeds, and five-minute wall sits
Why she cares about hip-hop beyond hits and money
Hosted by Kid Mero with Miabelle and Kazeem!
