In a candid interview on VladTV, Tony Yayo dives into the origins and success of VladTV, the influential hip-hop media platform. DJ Vlad, originally from Kiev, Ukraine, launched VladTV in 2008 after spotting YouTube’s potential as the next big video platform. Transitioning from illegal mixtapes and side hustles, Vlad chose to go with a fully legal, digital route, embracing early YouTube partnerships. Tony recalls how Vlad personally shot interviews and footage during the early days, showing relentless dedication from behind the camera to editing and uploading content himself.

Tony emphasizes Vlad’s forward-thinking mindset, highlighting his decade-long vision and commitment to consistency. “I was in my mid-thirties, thinking ten years ahead,” he says, admiring Vlad’s pivot away from uncertain hustles toward sustainable media success. Today, VladTV stands among top hip-hop outlets like WorldStar and Forbes, showcasing the power of foresight, hard work, and adaptability in entertainment.
