On this high-energy episode of Vinally High, Drew Beats and BJ Buds vibe out with Charlotte’s own rising star—DJ Skips. From humble beginnings with a basic Newmark controller to spinning some of the Queen City's hottest sets, DJ Skips opens up about the grind, the inspiration, and the community that fueled his climb. We dive into the evolution of his sound, the impact of local venues like Hoppin' and the Music Yard, and how he's using his platform to blend house, Afrobeat, and electronic vibes into something uniquely his.

We also get into the art of "just trying"—a real convo about perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and how taking that leap of faith can lead to big breakthroughs. Plus, in true Vinally High fashion, the crew shares what they’ve been spinning (and smoking), including a review of some CBD favorites like Naked Nectar, Calmezzi, Loyal Oils, and a dangerously good peanut butter edible from The Joint.

Don't miss this blend of vinyl talk, plant medicine, and music industry insights—all with a hit of humor.
