This week on Beginning, Middle & End, Mo Gilligan sits down with K Trap for one of the most honest conversations about fame, music, and growth you’ll hear all year.

From the moment K Trap removed the balaclava that defined his early career, to scoring a global hit with “Warm,”he’s been navigating the pressure of evolving in a genre that often refuses to let artists change.

In this episode they talk about:

1. The real reason K Trap took off the mask — and why people said he was “finished”
2. How Drake bringing him out at Wireless changed everything
3. Why drill music gets blamed for everything
4. Being recognised in the Maldives playing tennis
5. The pressure on young rappers to flex chains and success
6. Building a business empire beyond music
7. Fatherhood and finding purpose outside the industry

Plus K Trap opens up about being an introvert, the anxiety behind fame, and why he’s determined to become a global artist — not just a drill rapper.

This is the Beginning, Middle & End of K Trap’s journey so far.

From child wizard to Shakespearean king.

This week on Beginning, Middle & End, Mo sits down with Alfred Enoch — the actor many first met as Dean Thomas inHarry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone — to talk about the wild journey from childhood fame to leading the Royal Shakespeare Company.

They dive into the reality of growing up inside one of the biggest film franchises in history, the surreal moment Alfred realised people saw themselves in his character, and how landing How to Get Away with Murder changed his life overnight.

It’s a funny, thoughtful conversation about identity, craft, and what it means to take your place on stage.

What does it take to discover a generational superstar?

In this episode, Mo Gilligan sits down with music industry legend Darcus Beese — the man behind artists like Amy Winehouse, Florence + The Machine, Mumford & Sons, Jessie J, and Sugababes.

From starting out making tea at Island Records to becoming the first Black president of a major record label, Darcus shares the real stories behind the music industry: the risks, the pressure, and the magical moments when you hear a classic record for the very first time.

He reveals what it was like hearing Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab” for the first time in the studio, why most artists fail before their first hit, and how the music industry has completely changed in the streaming era.

Darcus opens up about the cost of success, the regrets that come with chasing greatness, and the reality of balancing ambition, family, and mental health.

This is a rare look behind the curtain of the music industry—from someone who helped shape it.
