SZN 9, Ep 17: Is It Really My Last Show? | J. Cole’s Replacement, Shawn G & Waeko’s Wild Energy

Whew… this one hit different. 💔
In Season 9, Episode 16 of The Real Life of Jo, I found myself asking, “Is this really my last show?” It’s wild to think how far we’ve come, and if this is truly the end (or maybe just a new beginning?), I’m glad I got to share this moment with Shawn G and Waeko.

🎤 Special Guest: Shawn G – J. Cole’s “Replacement”?!Yup, you read that right. Shawn G, aka J. Cole’s replacement, joined me for this special episode. If you’ve been rocking with The Real Life of Jo for a minute, you might remember our first interview together. Back then, it was clear--this man had talent.
But now? Shawn G is on a whole new level. He’s been grinding, building, and showing the world why he deserves a seat at the table.

🎶 Music Review: Waeko – Cincinnati’s Rising StarWe didn’t just sit around reminiscing—we got into the music, too. Waeko, a Cincinnati artist with energy that’s off the charts, was the highlight of this episode.
From the first beat, you could tell Waeko’s sound is different. It’s raw, authentic, and filled with personality. But what really stood out? The story behind how I met him.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I love doing this show.

💔 Is This Really the End?Y’all, I won’t lie--ending this season feels surreal. I’ve met incredible artists, had unforgettable conversations, and discovered so much about myself along the way.
But is this truly the last show? Or is it just the end of one chapter and the beginning of another?
