Tyrese Gibson says he came to Turks and Caicos to change it — with its people as the primary beneficiaries. And he wants to be held to it.

Sitting down with native Turks and Caicos Islanders and hosts of Talkin’ Turks, Gabriel Saunders and Quinn Higgs, he opens up about owning four acres on the water, why the Turks and Caicos Islands became his safe haven, and why his love for this place goes beyond visiting. From connecting former Turks and Caicos Islands Deputy Premier Hon. E. Jay Saunders with two-term Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed to bringing Vin Diesel to the Turks and Caicos Islands, he shares the stories behind that love — including the albino horse behind his viral People Magazine shoot.

Then it gets bigger: Drake vs. Tyrese on who loves Turks and Caicos more, the Drake collab he wants to shoot here, a possible album after Beautiful Pain, and what he can and can't say about Transformers.

As Tyrese puts it, this is going to be "one of the most important podcasts to ever come out of the Caribbean islands."

Kenny Burns and SAINTPRANA join native Turks and Caicos Islanders and hosts of Talkin’ Turks, Gabriel Saunders and Quinn Higgs, for an unfiltered conversation about music, mindset, and legacy.

They open up about family, creativity, and how the Turks and Caicos Islands became their second home — from spiritual connections to Grace Bay, to family trips to Turks and Caicos with Ludacris. Kenny shares why he says it’s time to “kill the algorithm,” reflecting on culture, independence, and the importance of reclaiming authenticity in a world chasing clout.

The two discuss music’s power to heal, the meaning behind SAINTPRANA’s name and artistry, and how father and son are working together to reset the narrative — one generation teaching the next while learning from each other. There’s even talk of Prince, whom Kenny calls his “father,” and why his legacy continues to inspire him today.
