Target Talk: bdifferent On Come On!!, Grief, and Finding Purpose in Music

bdifferent joins Target Talk for a conversation about what happens when music stops being just something you do and starts becoming something you need. He talks about growing up in Atlanta, being shaped by family, loss, and competition, and how everything changed after losing his mom and grandmother.

We also get into Come On!! as a project that reflects where he is now, more confident, more versatile, and more locked in on what he wants to say. He speaks on music as therapy, the discipline behind getting better every day, and the kind of belief that comes from seeing what is possible up close, including through his brother Anthony Edwards’ rise. More than anything, this one is about turning grief into fuel and building something that feels honest. Follow him: @1bdifferent

Target Talk: Spaceboifresh Is More Than a Radio Personality

We sat down with Spaceboifresh, 97.9 The Beat personality, artist, DJ, engineer, videographer, and self-described entertainer, for a conversation that really shows how much ground he’s covered. He talks about growing up in Oak Cliff, being raised by his grandparents, discovering music through the CDs and tapes his dad left behind, and how all of that shaped the way he creates now. From there, the episode opens up into everything that came with building a career across so many lanes. He gets into moving to Los Angeles, learning patience the hard way, doing live streaming and filmed content before it became the norm, and how all that work eventually led to opportunities with 97.9 and beyond. It ends up feeling less like a résumé and more like hearing somebody explain how all the pieces actually connected. Follow him: @spaceboifresh
