The mics are hot, the drinks are poured, and the real talk starts now. In this premiere episode of AIP Open Talks with Tae, host Tae Jamelle links up with Christina, Draco, Symba, and Fetti for a night that blurs the line between fun and full-on therapy.

Games turn into confessions, jokes turn into truth, and what was supposed to be light turns real—fast. From studio life to personal shifts, they touch it all with no script, no filters, and no pressure to hold back. It’s the kind of conversation you don’t plan... it just happens when the right people are in the room.

This is the first spark in Tae’s brand-new series—raw, unpredictable, and full of energy you can’t fake. Welcome to the table.

For our 10th episode of AIP Unlocked, we link up with The Working Party—a powerhouse collective of former Marines turned music makers, proving that discipline, brotherhood, and creativity go hand in hand.

After serving, they regrouped in Texas, swapped missions for music, and started building something real. What started as a bond in uniform turned into a collective pushing boundaries in the underground scene—and they’re only just getting started.

We also dive into a wild backstory—Fatal (aka Bert), one of the crew, met our very own Rollin overseas through video games in Japan. That connection turned into real-life energy when they linked up in Osaka for Halloween, just before the world shut down. Now, years later, the vibes are still strong and the vision is even clearer.

With a showcase coming up June 21st, The Working Party is stepping into the spotlight and showing the city what real teamwork looks like off the battlefield and in the booth.

🎧 Tap in for a story about brotherhood, reinvention, and turning war stories into waveforms. This is AIP Unlocked—where the real ones come to talk.
