In Utah’s fast-growing creative scene, few names are buzzing louder than AlexEz Comedy, the YouTuber and creator of the “Primo Talks Podcast” known off-camera as Alejandro Espinoza. What started as a page filled with quick-witted sketches and relatable humor has evolved into something much bigger, a platform that’s now shaping the conversation around local music and culture.
Alex has been on a roll as of late, interviewing Atlantic Records’ very own & Pharell’s mentee, Kap G & some of Salt Lake City’s most buzzing acts like Pinky MothaF Redd, Taylo & Santos Jaguar, but his latest interview with rising Utah rapper Enzo Dennet,better known as just Enzo, has been the tipping point, catapulting AlexEz from funny guy to full-fledged cultural commentator and, perhaps, the new face of Utah’s rap media.
The interview wasn’t your typical sit-down. Instead of a couch or studio backdrop, Alex and Enzo took to Fashion Place Mall in Murray, Utah, walking around the mall, trading jokes, and casually diving into real conversation about Salt Lake City & Sommer Ray. It felt unscripted, raw, and refreshingly human, the kind of energy that’s often missing in traditional interviews.
That same energy, however, got them kicked out mid-interview by a Paul Blart-esque mall security, a moment now etched into Utah internet lore. But what could’ve been a disruption turned into the highlight of the episode. The sudden chaos only amplified the chemistry between Alex and Enzo, turning the clip into a viral moment and giving the video an authenticity that perfectly mirrors the rebellious, unpredictable nature of rap culture itself.
During the interview, Enzo himself dubbed Alex “the Nardwuar of Utah”, a reference to the eccentric Canadian journalist famous for his deep-cut questions and playful demeanor. The comparison wasn’t made lightly. Like Nardwuar, Alex approaches interviews with a mix of humor, curiosity, and genuine connection that puts artists at ease and brings out their most honest moments.
For Utah’s fast-emerging rap scene, one often overlooked on the national radar, that’s no small thing. Having a homegrown creator who can spotlight local talent with charisma and professionalism could be the missing piece that not only could help elevate Utah’s underground artists into mainstream view but also serve as a platform for national touring artists to look forward to visiting when performing in Salt Lake City.
Behind the jokes and viral moments, Alejandro Espinoza’s recent journey has been deeply personal. In the past year, he’s welcomed a new child and lost his brother, a tragedy that reshaped his outlook on life and content. Those experiences have subtly seeped into his creative direction, adding emotional depth and purpose to the laughs.
“Comedy’s always been my way to connect,” he said in a recent post. “Now, it’s also my way to heal.”
That sense of authenticity is part of what makes Alex stand out. Viewers aren’t just tuning in for laughs; they’re watching someone navigate real life while building something bigger than himself.
The Enzo Dennet interview didn’t just boost views; it cemented Alex as the go-to creator for rappers in Utah. Artists are taking notice. From underground MCs to touring acts stopping in Salt Lake, creators are starting to view AlexEz Comedy as a legitimate platform, one where they can show personality, tell stories, and reach real fans.
In a state where entertainment and hip-hop often exist on the fringes, Alejandro Espinoza is carving out a new lane, one that blends humor, culture, and human connection.
As Utah’s creative ecosystem continues to evolve, AlexEz Comedy isn’t just chasing clout; he’s building culture. And if Enzo Dennet’s prediction proves right, Utah’s very own “Nardwuar” might soon become one of the Mountain West’s most recognizable media personalities.
