Here’s my annual interview with Khaligraph Jones for 2021 😅. We discuss his responsibilities to the younger generation of artists, his forthcoming album and working with Canadian rapper Dax as well as his desire to go back to school and political aspirations for 2027. Enjoy!

I had the pleasure of hosting Njeri Mwangi and I have to say it has been one of the toughest ones so far. She talks about being diagnosed and living with Schizophreniform disorder, a psychotic disorder that affects how a patient perceives reality. She’s the very first underage guest I’ve hosted in my entire career and she really challenged me with how open she was to sharing her story boldly and her determination to embrace the journey she’s on. Help us get this message in front of as many people as possible by sharing this episode.

After knowing him for a couple of years I finally had the opportunity to vibe with Musau on the record, one of the characters behind the scenes as far as Shrap culture is concerned. We talked about the genesis of the movement, performing at Nyege Nyege fest in Uganda and landing that Sho Madjozi feature, Boutross' forthcoming EP Mtindo being inspired by the loss of their friend, Andre, and just what is happening with AD Family as a crew? Tune in and enjoy this history lesson!

I'm so thrilled to share this episode with you! I spoke to BananasOverdose, a Somali artist navigating the artistry world. She talks about the highs and lows she's experienced, facing racism in the Middle East which led her to adopting "Bananas Overdose" as her stage name, going through FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), as is common in Somali culture and embracing her sexuality.
