Send us a text do you create and release? i'm trying to be better with that. i once read: "if the plane goes down, i want my hard drives with me, no one will be putting out a lame posthumous album." do you agree? i do but not sure, i'd want the right person to interpret my work but therein lies the dilemma. to the ones who earnestly inquired about new episodes, i appreciate you. i'm always creatin...

Send us a text [Dedicated to King Qudus Kafo] Our parents will never hear who we truly are when we’re with our friends. They’d shutter and scoff at the posture. Feel fright of the monster. They forget they were us one day. And we’ll do the same someday. Who will keep our stories alive? The nights we look unrecognizable to our responsible future selves? They shake their heads but we act like black...

Send us a text Many of us grew up thinking that certain moments needed to be respected in a very strict way. They can’t be tarnished with “insensitivities” that show a lack of respect. The epitome of this surrounded death and the processes that proceeds it. The older I get, the more I realize how archaic and unfounded much of these things are. My maternal grandmother passed away on November 27 and...

Send us a text no fear. no fear. ‘it’s frustrating when you just can’t express yourself / and it’s hard to trust enough to undress yourself / stand exposed and naked / in a world full of hatred’  [Better In Tune With the Infinite, Jay Electronica]  i think about these lyrics as i release this episode. i release this just as i see myself, the way i let my mind wander and it says exactly what i want...

Send us a text London, 1971 “The artist is not free to do what he wants to do, the artist is free to do what he has to do” – JB Jimmy Baldwin & Nikki Giovanni in conversation has always been one of my favorite things. As the great Donny Hathaway put it before covering Superwoman by Stevie Wonder: “from the black pool of genius.” And that’s exactly how I feel about these two. Like I talk about in t...

Send us a text When someone completed the task of archiving all of Kanye’s interviews last year, I had the outlandish idea to listen (or re-listen to most) and extract what I felt was essential. I almost didn’t go through with it but as I I’ve often found out in my life, things like this that I consider part of my work while here, even if not understood by others, is not something I have control o...

Send us a text I wasn’t sure I was going to put this one out but it’s all part of the story. I told my friend earlier that I have a living, breathing, talking journal of my life & times. Pretty crazy to compare what was and what comes to be. Tomi Okunfolami is back for another one. Get on your spin bike and have a listen.  [Please rate if you haven't and share with one person, see you soon!] TOPIC...

Send us a text A change of pace for something I had to do, I’ve been carrying it for too long. It wasn’t the easiest to record, as you’ll find out. I’m not able to move on and do certain things unless I’m able to discard baggage I’m carrying. I believe almost every family has a loss similar to mine/ours. We lost our beloved family member, my uncle, 22 years ago and it was the turning point for so...

Send us a text The second half of the first episode's covered topics: who's allowed me to be my most free self, are we the same people online and off, why I tried Tinder, something we want but afraid we won't get, what's a movie I wish I made, my biggest fear, and what I hope to contribute to this world. Enjoy!

Send us a text The first half of the first episode is a behind the scenes look at the creative process of the podcast and a look into my background. My guest co-host, Tomi Okunfolami, and I discuss things such as: who this podcast is for, how I'll be different after the pandemic, what I lost in 2020, what we appreciate about our friendship, and my worst travel experience. Enjoy!
