Louisville-born, LA-based rapper and creative IVRY pulls up to the OddPod for a deep, wide-ranging conversation with Marcus and Pod Rashid about his journey from the South End to the West Coast — and everything he's built along the way.
IVRY opens up about growing up across different parts of Louisville, from South Louisville to the neighborhood right behind Algonquin Park, where a pivotal moment of being kicked out pushed him to finally take music seriously. As a kid, he was a homebody who channeled his creativity into editing Boondocks clips over Lil Wayne songs on Windows Movie Maker, writing raps for his little sister, and dancing at teen parties — all early signals of a creative who'd find his lane on his own terms.
A PRP alum, IVRY credits the school's wild diversity — country kids, hood kids, upper class, all in one building — for his ability to connect with just about anyone. That same versatility bleeds into his music, which he describes as melody-first and entertainment-focused, designed to hit a wide range of listeners rather than a niche pocket.
The conversation digs into his extensive catalog: seven projects and over 90 songs since 2018, including Grand Theft Audio, For My People, Feels, 2001, Ego, In Real Life, 4200, and his latest self-titled IVRY EP — which he calls his "musical résumé," a project that captures every dimension of who he is as an artist. He talks through the evolution behind each project, the hard resets, the SoundCloud era that changed his perspective on what music could be (shoutout Lil Yachty), and how a vacation-turned-revelation led to him quitting his post office job and moving to LA to bet on himself full time.
The crew also gets into the Drake vs. Kendrick beef and how history gets rewritten over time, the cultural power of Afro Man, IVRY's collab with Prodigy tha Kid, and his belief that creativity is something you're meant to steward — not sit on.
Looking ahead, IVRY is dialing in on his individuality through more V-logs, new music this summer, and a performance at Hip-Hop in the Park in Louisville on July 25th. Follow him at @twohundred_ on Instagram and YouTube.

Louisville rapper and self-proclaimed "Street Preacher" CashRick pulls up to the OddPod for an unfiltered conversation about music, growth, and staying true to yourself. Hosted by Marcus and Pod Rashid, this episode is the third installment in a series featuring members of the Cash Mob collective — following episodes with CashMonte and Southside Mike.

CashRick opens up about growing up on the East Side of Louisville, specifically Shepherd Square, where he admits he was a "green" kid getting into reckless situations before meeting his close collaborator CashMonte in high school at Atherton. He credits that friendship — and CashMonte's father showing him different parts of the city — with broadening his perspective and eventually steering him toward music.

The conversation gets real on the business side of the industry. CashRick talks about learning from independent artists like LaRussell (recently signed to Roc Nation) and emphasizes that being a great artist isn't enough — you have to understand the business to avoid getting taken advantage of. His philosophy? "I don't sell drugs, I slang music."

When describing his sound, CashRick breaks it down into three personas: El Ricky (the hard-edged street side), Ricky (the smooth R&B lover), and the Street Preacher — the version that talks real about the streets but always sends you home with a lesson. He's not a rapper who fits neatly into a box, and that's exactly the point.

The crew digs into his musical influences — Twista, Biggie, and Kendrick Lamar, who CashRick calls the greatest — along with a candid breakdown of Baby Keem's latest project and what made certain music hit different at different points in life.

CashRick also reflects on taking six years away from music, framing the hiatus not as a setback but as seasoning. He talks openly about anxiety, boundaries, and the importance of protecting your energy as you level up — touching on themes of faith, self-awareness, and knowing your worth.

The episode closes with a deep dive into Anakin Skywalker's arc in Star Wars (Revenge of the Sith takes the crown), granny's VHS collection, and why his new project Picture Perfect and his Valentine's single are the next steps in his journey.
