SZN 9, Ep 25: Maryland Melodies | Manup x Da Old Head’s “Amor” Music Review

We’re keeping it homegrown this week, y’all! 🦀🎶
In Season 9, Episode 25 of The Real Life of Jo, I linked up with the one and only Manup, straight outta Maryland, for an episode packed with laughs, vibes, and unfiltered opinions.
We didn’t just chop it up about Manup’s music journey (which, btw, is next level)—we also tackled a music review challenge, breaking down Da Old Head’s latest track, “Amor.” Did it make us groove or cringe? You already know we kept it 100.

🎤 Manup’s Musical Journey: Hustle, Heart & HilarityFirst off, Manup’s energy? Unmatched.
We got into:
🔥 How he got started in music (spoiler alert: the grind is REAL)
🎶 The inspiration behind his sound—raw, real, and Maryland to the core
🤣 Hilarious moments from his career that had me crying laughing

🎶 Music Review: “Amor” by Da Old Head 💘Then it was time for the main event: Da Old Head’s track, “Amor.”
💥 The Beat? Smooth, with a laid-back vibe that had us bobbing our heads.
🎤 The Lyrics? Definitely old-school storytelling, but with a modern twist.
💃 The Vibe? Think summertime cookout with a soulful soundtrack.
🔥 Favorite line? “Love ain't armor, but it keeps you standing tall.” (Whew, facts. 🙌🏽)
We had opinions (obviously), but you’ll have to watch the episode to see if we were feeling the love or hitting skip. 😂
