The Perfect song Episode 1: “Telegraph Ave”
I started this podcast because I love music and there are so many songs out there that show the artist at the peak of their abilities. “Telegraph Ave” is one such song that shows Childish Gambino at the height of his musical powers. Listen to the episode and hear why I say what I say!
MIDNIGHT MUSIC: Episode 3 “When they can’t relate, they hate (maybe??)”
The discussion continues regarding Kendrick Lamar’s historic year and another contemporary who is equal parts hater and congratulator in Lupe Fiasco.
Following up from Episode 2, this episode covers the odd behaviors of the great Lupe Fiasco as it pertains to the Kendrick and Drake saga. Check out the video for my thoughts on the matter!
Sometimes It’s That DEEP
There was a time when it came to me making music, that my first inclination would be towards emceeing. I really tried to make something of it for a while. But over time I began leaning on my more natural singing talents as well as production. Nowadays, it is rare that I get the urge to rap. However, when that urge hits me, to it I shall heed. This song “DEEP” is a result of said urge. Hope you enjoy!

Revisiting this album brings an amalgam of emotions for me. First of which is elation as this was the first project I was able to actually translate the feelings I had that bothered me, into music form that proved to be therapeutic for the first time. The other emotion was a deep, cutting, and profound sadness, as this project captured merely a portion of the deep dark pain and depression I was feeling in relation to my children both being on the spectrum, and our family being in the thick of its ills. That sadness was also compounded with rage and resentment at people who I thought would be there for me, but have failed me. When I listen back to the album, I am proud of my progression as an artist, and I still feel the dull ache of the pain of that time period.
