Just won a match on chess.com as my playlist went from Who Run It by Three 6 to Diamond in the Back by Luda. As I type this, How Ya Do Dat by Young Bleed (RIP🕊️) is playing...

Had to hit you with the pm #WednesMayes this week. Here's part of "Confessions Unuttered" Enjoy! #spokenword #poet #blackcreative #joemayes

Here's "Affinity for Infinity" #WednesMayes #spokenword #poet #blackcreative #joemayes

Let's conquer the week! #GoTexans #spokenword #poet #blackcreative #MayesMonday

We made it to #FreestyleFriday 🙌🏽 where I just let the spirit drive the post. Today I talked about #ThePitt and our world #spokenword #poet #blackcreative

I'm so glad The Pitt is back! The first episode did not disappoint. It's been one of the best shows I've seen in a while, and that's saying a lot with the absolute ridiculous amount of television greatness we've been getting from various genres

Back to work for 2026. What's your water-cooler discussion? 🤔 #newyear#spokenword #poet #blackcreative #joemayes

These past three weeks have been my longest stretch not listening to Let God Sort Em Out since it dropped. Today's initial-snare-hit nailing of E.B.I.T.D.A. right after M.T.B.T.T.F. 's denouement?

It's been a couple years since I've really been on this chess stuff. The person I was playing resigned (third in a row). Holla at BobbyFishSammich @ chess.com for that work 🧠💪🏽

My ridiculously dope girlfriend Casey caught me off guard celebrating the homie David this weekend

Kendrick. SZA. And I just thought about Doechii doing Skipp in Houston... Might have to get those tix 🤔

I know a Cramblin Duvet ad when I see one

Kept a pen on me back then. Along with effervescent convo which flowed like manna from the heavens for those to whom I approached.

Easy. Bridge on Bilal’s “When Will You Call.”

Ain’t no way his heart wasn’t broken singing that entire song. But that moment? You feel every word. Like, how could you leave him?!

But, why didn't Thanos just concentrate all fire on the portals as they opened? That was quite mad, Titan.

Made it to Endgame. When Cap and Mjölnir finally get 'shipped and he starts taxing Thanos + Portals >>>>>>

Doechii, Tyler and Kendrick to me these past few days
