Pure Rap Alumni Ash The Author is back in the building for his 2nd time in the studio and 3rd appearance on the show 🔥
Coming off his debut album “More Water” (2024), Ash returns with his brand new project “Now U See Me” — out now on all platforms! You can also support directly by purchasing the album at AshTheAuthor.com and entering your own amount!
In this episode, we dive into the creation of Now U See Me, the process behind each of the 10 tracks, and how his live listening party came together. Ash opens up about growth, perspective, and the meaning behind his latest work.
Of course, we had to run back our Rapid Fire segment — from favorite Thanksgiving memories and top NBA players to time-travel-style questions like meeting your ancestors or your great-great-great grandchildren 👀🔥
Tap in for another dope, genuine conversation with one of the most introspective lyricists from Chicago, who now resides in San Diego.

We got two brothers, two dope emcees — The Boogie Boys, B-Rell & Dom Royal — tapping in with the Pure Rap Network!
These two have been on ten all 2025 — from dropping heat like B-Rell’s “Mission BLVD” 2-pack and Loyalty Over Everything (with Bari Bandz), to Dom Royal’s “Diamond Out the Rough” and a new project dropping this year, throwing their own event Backyard Boogie, they’ve been putting on heavy for San Diego.
In this interview, we chop it up about their upbringing as brothers, their journey in music, putting together community events, creating their On Ten Podcast, and even talk highlights like B-Rell’s MVP performance at the San Diego All-Star Celebrity Basketball Game.
Of course, we hit them with our Rapid Fire segment — everything from “If you were a ghost who would you haunt?” to “Should Russell Westbrook be on an NBA team right now?” (Recorded before signing with the Kings!) 👀🔥
Tap in, get inspired, and feel the energy from two artists, two brothers who show love to their people, strive for success and progress every day.
