Jason Reyes is making history from the Bronx to the WORLD.

Born and raised in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents, Jason is the founder and principal of the Bronx School of Hip Hop, the first hip hop high school in the world, opening in New York City in September 2026.

Before launching this groundbreaking school, Jason served as principal of MS 129 Academy and built his career around helping young people discover their identity, their voice, their brilliance, and their power. His journey was not easy. Jason grew up in foster care, experienced family loss and adversity, and still chose to dedicate his life to education and service.

His story is rooted in resilience, culture, strength, and a refusal to let obstacles determine what is possible. In this conversation, we talk about how the Bronx School of Hip Hop came to be, why hip hop belongs in education, what it means to build a school around culture and identity, and how Jason is handling criticism from people who are not happy about his role as principal. We also get into books, fatherhood, leadership, his love of hip hop, and of course, his top five hip hop artists of all time. 

Jason Reyes is not just opening a school, he is building a legacy. This fall, the Bronx School of Hip Hop will make history in New York City and around the world, and we are proud to celebrate the man behind the mission.

Freestyle legend K7 of TKA sits down for an intimate, no-holds-barred conversation about the music, memories, heartbreak and hustle behind a career spanning four decades. K7 opens up about his childhood and the life-changing move from Ponce, PR to Spanish Harlem, New York, where he reunited with his mother and eventually found his path to music.

He takes us back to the beginning of TKA, from performing at neighborhood parties to landing a record deal with Tommy Boy Records, becoming one of freestyle music’s most influential groups, and ultimately reveals why the original TKA broke up. K7 also takes us inside the stories behind the music, including the FULL backstory of the TKA classic 'Maria' revealing that the song was actually inspired by two women he dated. He explains how writing became his way of expressing emotions he couldn’t always say out loud and how that pen helped establish him as one of freestyle music’s GOATs.

We also get into K7’s transition from freestyle into hip-hop, his massive solo success with records like 'Come Baby Come' and how he managed to evolve while building a career that has lasted nearly 40 years. K7 shares stories about his relationships with fellow Latino music icons La India, Marc Anthony and Ivy Queen, giving us a rare look at who La India and Ivy Queen really are when the cameras are off. He also revisits the early days of Lisa Lisa and Full Force, and his role in connecting the pieces that helped launch one of the most important careers of the freestyle era.

But this conversation goes far beyond music. K7 gets deeply personal about his wife’s battle with cancer, what it means to stand beside your spouse through sickness, and delivers a powerful message to men about showing up, becoming a true caretaker and honoring the commitment you made to your partner. He also reflects on his unexpected chapter in radio, why he ultimately walked away from it, the price of longevity, and what four decades in the entertainment business have taught him about friendship, family, love, loyalty and survival.

From Ponce to Spanish Harlem, TKA to K7, freestyle to hip-hop, this is the story behind the hits and the man who wrote them.

In this episode of Gracias, Come Again, Honey sits down with Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, the son of Dominican immigrants who was born and raised in Los Sures, Brooklyn.

Reynoso opens up about growing up in a Section 8 apartment while his family relied on food stamps, and how education, a scholarship and a clear plan changed the direction of his life. His journey eventually led him into public service, first as a New York City Council member and later as the youngest borough president in New York City history. Elected to a four-year term, he also became the first Dominican to serve as a borough president in the city.

During this deeply personal conversation, Reynoso shares how his upbringing shaped his approach to leadership, why he entered politics and what it means to still live just three blocks from his childhood home, even as the neighborhood around him has transformed through gentrification.

He also reflects on the lasting influence of his mentor, Thomas, who taught him a lesson that continues to guide his life and career: “we don’t have the luxury of not having a plan”

This is a powerful conversation about Dominican identity, education, community, representation and the journey from Los Sures to Brooklyn Borough Hall.

Rising artist Lenexx joins Gracias, Come Again for an inspiring conversation about culture, identity, family, and the musical movement she's creating. Born in Santiago, Dominican Republic, and raised in Jackson Heights, Queens, Lenexx opens up about her journey from living with her abuela while her mother worked tirelessly in New York to build a better life for the family, to arriving in the U.S. at just eight years old with dreams, questions, and endless possibilities.

In this episode, Lenexx reflects on her Dominican upbringing, her mother's sacrifices, and how growing up in one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the world shaped her as both a person and an artist. Surrounded by Dominican, Mexican, Colombian, Indian, and countless other communities, Jackson Heights became the foundation for her global perspective. 

She also shares the story behind her deep connection to Brazilian culture, explaining how her best friend introduced her to Brazilian music and traditions, inspiring her to learn Portuguese and eventually record music in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. Most importantly, Lenexx introduces listeners to Funketon, the genre she created by fusing Dominican rhythms, Brazilian funk, and New York energy into a sound that's entirely her own. As one of the pioneers of this emerging style, she's breaking musical boundaries while building a global fanbase.

We also talk about her special relationship with Brazil, where she spent time immersing herself in the culture that has inspired so much of her music. During her stay, Brazilian fans embraced her wholeheartedly, showing immense love for both her artistry and her vision. That experience further cemented her connection to the country and reinforced her belief that music truly has no borders.
