I’m taking you back to my roots on the South Side of Chicago, and we’re tal...

We’ve all seen that car on the highway doing 75 mph with the front bumper held on by a few strips of silver tape. It gives the illusion of stability, but has zero structural integrity. If you're using a temporary patch to fix a massive structural problem... haha, that's a duck. I'm having a hard reality check with this during my current career transition. I've realized I haven'...

It made me think of that classic Commissioned track, I Am Here. I realized I was es...

He shares how his polished “representative” almost died a few years ago, but...

Do you remember Zack, the Black Power Ranger, and his "Hip-hop-kido"? It’s a hilarious, awkward example of what happens when outsiders try to package and sell a culture they don't actually live.

Fresh off a chaotic shift at the pharmacy, Anthony dives into the reality of modern overstimulation. The danger of a loud life isn't always that we collapse under the pressure—it's that we become high-functioning in the noise. We get so used to processing...
