Ep. 03 | Part 2: "Eat What You Kill" | The Elliott Wilson Story
06/15/2026 | 21 mins.
The other half of the story, and the part that lingers. SaVon traces what happened after the work was done and the money never came — the silence, an offer that wasn't really an offer, and the question of who answers when the people at the top go quiet. Less about the $20,000 than what the whole thing revealed about Elliott Wilson, Roc Nation, and the business behind them.

Ep. 02 | Part 1: "The $20,000 Mistake" | The Elliott Wilson Story
06/14/2026 | 12 mins.
Full Story available early on Patreon. Join here: https://www.patreon.com/blankslatehq
SaVon breaks down the $20,000 he lost on a high-profile podcast season tied to Elliott Wilson and backed by Roc Nation. He left a stable job to bet on himself and carried the risk alone. He was warned before he ever signed — and went anyway. Part 1 is how it started, what made him say yes, and what it ended up costing him.

"Two Pimps, One Algorithm" — How Clip Culture Works | blankSLATE Radio
06/12/2026 | 27 mins.
The internet found a way to make humiliation pay rent.
Deen the Great and Adrien Broner. Adam22 and Lena the Plug. Two arrangements, one machine — and a clipping economy that pays the most for your lowest moment. We pull it apart: where the money actually goes, why you can't escape these people, and what the algorithm is quietly training all of us to become.

Ep. 01 | "Reality Is Optional" with YassyTV
06/08/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
For the first official episode of blankSLATE, SaVon and Yassy use Jay-Z's Roots Picnic freestyle, Dame Dash's ongoing criticism of his former business partner, Akademiks' interview with Daphne Joy, and the rapid rise of AI as entry points into a larger conversation about celebrity culture, internet narratives, parasocial relationships, and the growing gap between perception and reality.
The episode also includes firsthand insight from inside Roots Picnic and a discussion about why some stories refuse to die, why we speak about public figures as if we know them personally, and what happens when technology becomes good enough to make reality negotiable.

"The Saddest Beef in Hip-Hop History" — JAY-Z vs Dame Dash | blankSLATE Radio
06/03/2026 | 34 mins.
Two men built an empire together and haven't spoken business since 2004. Only one of them can't stop bringing it up.
Dame Dash and Jay-Z built Roc-A-Fella together. They haven't done business since 2004. Now one of them won't stop talking about the other. After Jay-Z's Roots Picnic freestyle, Dame responded the way he always does — a camera, a meme, a round of jokes. Everybody ran the same clip. But the response said more about Dame than it did about Jay.

About blankSLATE with SaVon

A reintroduction. blankSLATE is what comes next for SaVon, a clean canvas to reveal a voice he hasn't fully shown yet. A culture and music commentary podcast going past the headline and past the algorithm to find a different lens on media, music, and everything happening within the culture. A return to the kind of podcasting that built the format, before the clip economy reduced every show to a moment. Two shows. One name. The signature show drops weekly. Long-form episodes with rotating voices, slowing the headline down to read the fine print — bringing a lens the algorithm trains you to ignore. "blankSLATE Radio" is the real-time companion, SaVon solo, reacting to the moment with the kind of perspective the lane is missing, shaped by the audience through mailbag submissions. For people who want more than a hot take.
