St Clair Du-Berry (Saint Dub): From Church Choir to Sermons and “I Live Forever”
St Clair Du-Berry — better known as Saint Dub — has one of those stories you can feel in the records.
Raised in Morrow, Georgia, he found his voice as “the loudest kid in the choir,” moved into musical theatre (The Wiz at 12), then into the TV grind: auditions in LA, stand-in and photo-double work on Earth to Echo, Disney XD’s TRY-athlon and more. Along the way he lost both parents, relocated again, and turned all of it into deeply personal rap records.
In this episode we cover:

On this episode of the BeatsToRapOn Podcast, Lance Romance tells the never-before-told story of how Andy Gibb changed his life – from skating rink crush music to a real-life encounter in LA, and a promise he’s still determined to keep.
We cover Lance’s journey from New York to Texas and back, how Motown, Bee Gees, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson all shaped his ear, and why he became “the Bee Gees of rap” – a pop-leaning, musically trained rapper inside a rougher, sample-driven hip-hop world.

Matt B: Southern Soul, Trail-Ride Anthems & the Story Behind “Stepping Boots”
From grandma Beatrice to radio spins—finding a unique voice, stage confidence, kids’ books, and a new film role.
Southern soul/country-soul artist Matt B sits down with BeatsToRapOn to trace the roots of his sound: living-room sing-alongs with grandma Beatrice (the “B” in his name), choir and church training, and that first studio session at 21. He breaks down the grind of staying consistent, turning nerves into performance energy, and crafting records that move dance floors and trail rides alike.
We dive into song stories for “Stepping Boots,” “Step My Way,” “Friday...
Be Holy, Be Legendary — Tramaine Long on Finding Your Sound, Faith & AI
Atlanta-raised and church-shaped, Tramaine Long is a minister, rapper, producer, mixing engineer—and a testament to sticking with the craft.
He started with FL Studio and a $20 mic, spent years sounding like everyone else, and then did the hard work to sound like himself.
We talk about the DJ Drama-era lesson (influence ≠ imitation), vocal coaching and production reps, and how he treats AI (Suno) as a workflow accelerator—not a replacement for skill.
Tramaine opens up about the dream that sparked his album “Legendary” (“It’s time for you to be leg...

We talk the 90s NYC DNA (Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, Nas), Southern takeover energy (Wayne, T.I., Jeezy), building a brand from lunch-table ciphers to league nights, and why his music hits like a hustler’s soundtrack. He drops the story behind first singles, a live verse from “Bright as a Star,” and teases the upcoming GHNS project. If you love competitive lyricism, independent strategy, and motivational rap built for the gym and...
