In this exclusive interview, The Mox and Mike from The Barn Media chat with legendary comedian, actor, businessman, and podcast host T.K. Kirkland ahead of his highly anticipated run at Helium Comedy Club in St. Louis from July 3–5.

Known as the “Gangsta of Comedy,” TK Kirkland has built a legendary career spanning over 40 years. Born in Jersey City and raised in Compton, TK first gained major exposure touring with N.W.A and has since shared stages with icons like Eminem, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Keyshia Cole. He’s appeared in classic music videos including Express Yourself, It’s Funky Enough, and Window Shopper, while also dominating comedy with projects like Are There Any Questions, Who Raised You?, and Gangsta Conversation.

In this conversation, TK opens up about:

🔥 His upcoming St. Louis shows at Helium Comedy Club, with tickets nearly sold out
🔥 His brand-new TV series Lot Patrol and the buzz surrounding its release
🔥 His upcoming Netflix comedy special planned for February
🔥 His deep roots in hip-hop culture, including relationships with Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., LL Cool J, and the Ruff Ryders
🔥 Why he believes every comedian needs stronger “Comedy IQ”
🔥 His unique freestyle performance style — no notes, no set list, pure instinct

TK also breaks down how the discipline of street hustle translated into a powerful business mindset, much like the philosophy popularized by Jay-Z. He explains why consistency beats viral fame and why true longevity in comedy comes from constant growth and reinvention.

One of the biggest revelations from this interview: no two TK Kirkland shows are ever the same. Every performance is completely organic, meaning fans attending multiple nights in St. Louis could see entirely different sets each night.

If you’re a fan of stand-up comedy, hip-hop culture, podcast interviews, or comedy legends sharing game about success, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

On this episode of Vulgar Display of Podcast, The Mox talks with Zach Moore, drummer of St. Louis deathcore band This Is Me Breathing, on the very day of their massive album release show at FUBAR in St. Louis.
The band celebrates the release of their debut full-length album Serenity and Suffering, released June 27, 2026, with a stacked hometown show featuring Cult Noise, Naysayers, and Sentence to Ruin. Even better, every $15 ticket included a free physical copy of the album, making this one of the biggest nights in the band’s career.
Track-by-track highlight discussion includes:
Return to None
Zach explains the eerie synth elements heard early in the song and how those layered textures were created in the studio and recreated live.
Black Heavens Above
One of the heaviest songs on the record, featuring crushing bass and a devastating pre-breakdown section that was largely developed in the studio during the recording process.
A Hill to Die Upon
A standout track with strong Korn and Limp Bizkit inspired nu-metal influence. Zach discusses how guitarist intentionally brought that groove-heavy vibe into the writing process.
Serenity and Suffering
The title track stands apart with a darker, more atmospheric black metal feel that fans of Lorna Shore will appreciate. Zach reveals this song was written entirely in the studio and pushed the band into new creative territory.
The episode also highlights the strength of the St. Louis metal and hardcore scene, with Zach shouting out local favorites including Summoning the Lich, Polterguts, Sawed Off, CultNoise, and Naysayers.
Be sure to check out This Is Me Breathing and stream Serenity and Suffering now.
