“Everyday Struggle”
Nadeska came into the spotlight mostly thanks to the “Everyday Struggle” online series, created originally by Complex Media. While you mostly get to see DJ Akademiks and Joe Budden discussing events in hip hop, you also get to see Nadeska who is there to not let them lose their focus, and some guests which they often have – usually rappers who are fighting their way up in the hip hop industry.
Akademiks and Budden are a perfect team, as Budden has more experience and knowledge when it comes to older and more traditional rappers, while Akademiks is keeping up with today’s hip hop scene. The show became a lot more popular after they had Lil Yachty as their guest. Budden did not seem to have liked the rapper and this was very obvious to everyone who was watching the show – he was frustrated and combative, and at one point even said ‘bullshit’ to one of Yachty’s statements. Yachty was actually only invited onto the show because Budden didn’t like his rap style or his actions, and saw his rapping as an offense to hip hop. The two main things discussed during the interview with Lil Yachty were him not knowing whether or not he was signed to a 360 deal, and him saying that Budden is always happy.
