“Who are the DJs?”“What music are you playing?”“What kind of crowd is coming?”

On paper, it sounds like normal event questions.But for Black promoters, those questions can decide whether the event happens at all.

In this episode of The Bread and Butter Podcast, Tayo and Eman sit down with Dami from This Can’t Come Out 2.0for a funny but honest conversation about events, podcasting, authenticity and the unseen challenges behind building something from the ground up.

Dami breaks down the realities Black promoters face — from venues labelling events “high risk” because of the music, DJs or crowd, to being quietly blacklisted after one incident.

He also speaks on building This Can’t Come Out, choosing authenticity over polish, and why real conversations will always connect.
