"Minivan Musician" was originally created to document the life and tribulations of a 40 year-old hip hop artist and the juggling of all that comes with being that age. Over time, Don Verb & Danielle began speaking about more important topics, having very interesting & entertaining guests on for interviews, sharing their "vancation" travels and more! Now, "Minivan Musician" is more of a lifestyle brand that promotes personal freedoms, intellectualism, common sense, health (Don Verb is currently making bodybuilding videos), travel, musical expression and the preservation of hip hop culture.
MM81-Co-Hosted Podcast w/"Nothing Sacred" With BONE THUGS SCAM! and Janky Promoters, Shady Managers and Flaky Artists
"The One with the Forrrrttyyy"
It was a joy to once again have "Nothing Sacred" (Maxwell Silverhammer & Crews Control) join our podcast and share their experiences as radio hosts and artists. There are all kinds of artists, promoters, managers and so on out there who aren't on the up-and-up and between Nothing Sacred, Don Verb and Danielle, we've seen them all!
Don Verb finally (ten years later) breaks his silence regarding his experience as a part of Mo Thugs - a scam record label that more resembled MLM-meets-cult. Maxwell and Crews both keep everyone laughing with their run-in's with wanna-be managers and also with flaky artists. Danielle lets us in on what an electronic music promoter really is - and isn't. Several people get called out and fun ensues. Join us for episode 81!

Minivan Musician 75 - Done With Facebook - Why Facebook Is Toxic - Best New Podcast 2021
With Don Verb all but quitting Facebook entirely (after a recent, silly "ban") we decided to use Episode #75 to readdress why we find ourselves under that redundant app's spell - STILL, in 2021! The reasons for which we're (mostly) done with Facebook are numerous but what's more important is pointing out why Facebook is toxic and how we find ourselves mindlessly using it to no benefit - and plenty of stress and brainwashing.
We think that it's time that we all step away from Facebook and seek a different platform from which to keep in contact with family, learn of current events, share our works of art and altogether provide our content. We ARE the only thing that Facebook (and other outlets) have to offer and we can step away at any time. We feel that the novelty of Facebook has run its course and that we need to free ourselves from its clutches, in order to preserve some dignity and to look toward a future in which there is a social media platform that is for US and not just for ADVERTISERS. We are sure that we are not alone.
If you type "alternatives to..." into a Google search, you will get "alternatives to Facebook" ... this means that MANY are searching for a change.

MM68 - Our BANNED VIDEO! - Mr Hyde Rapper Interview, Psycho Logical Records - Bonnie and Hyde Album
In Episode 68, Don Verb & Danielle have to address their second-to-last "Minivan Musician" episode being removed.

Of course, we have the continuation (and final part) of the interview with Psycho Logical Records' Mr. Hyde!
Rather than breaking the video up into two more pieces, we've got a nice, long and informative interview here that is pretty damned entertaining and that includes some seriously useful information for up-and-coming artists! We also go in-depth into what the Bonnie and Hyde album is about and share who our "Hip Hop Mt. Rushmores" are.
