Live DJ's

*This is a repeat of an older review done by my brother and I from 2016*This episodes starts the series on Live DJ's that move crowds and not play music.  We talk to DJ Ant Live of Harlem and how he still does DJing with the classic 1200's and how true DJ's are still moving the crowds.  We do a round table with Ant Live and get his views on the art today.

Nipsey Hussle & Cozz

We stay on the West Coast and grab hold of two new releases.  Both from L.A the area with styles that may seem similar but unique in a way to see how quality trumps style. Cozz being a Dreamville alum and Nipsey with Atlantic records.  Pretty interesting when you hear the features and production quality.  

Black Panther The Album

We listen all weekend to the recently released Black Panther Soundtrack and give credit where credit is due. With the mixture of R&B, West coast rap, amazing production.  This is a great addition to the upcoming theatrical release of the Black Panther Movie

She's gotta Have It (2017) Netflix

Growing up New York's thus making us Spike Lee fans.  We were interested at seeing Spike's remake of his own iconic "She's gotta Have it".  We've seen a couple of Spike's last few movies so you can understand why we came to this Netflix series with questionable expectations.  

Iconic filmmaker Spike Lee revisits his first feature film with this Netflix original series of the same name. Brooklyn-based artist Nola Darling struggles to stay true to herself and her dreams while dividing her time between her friends, her job and her lovers -- all three of them

Russell Kirkman (Maybe its me)

This week I sit down with Russell Kirkman, entrepreneur, musician, author, life coach and motivational speaker.  This episode Russell walks us through his journey to self awareness through a near death experience and how everyone should seek and embrace their individual calling.  This episode I have a very spiritual and enlightening conversation with a very talented individual. I hope you enjoy.

Russell Kirkman is the author of 2 books on reducing STRESS, “Maybe It’s Me” and “Maybe It’s Me Too.” He’s an expert at helping people identify areas of STRESS, anything from unemployment, marriage or a personal relationship, to parenting or the loss of a loved one. Russell says it’s all about rejuvenating and strengthen an individual’s positive attitude. Russell’s genuine belief in people, his compelling stories, and his amusing reflections of how he stayed positive in an unpredictable corporate and entrepreneurial arena keep readers and audiences on the edge of their seat

insecure season 2 HBO review

Alicia and I return with our review of the critically acclaimed series insecure by Issa Rae.  We took a minute to get to look at this amazing series because of the many new and interesting shows coming out this year but we really missed another great season Issa Rae has created.  Check out our thoughts of this outstanding AfricanAmerican HBO series.

Migos Culture II & Dave East Paranoia 2

As the Migos take over the music industry, we break down their new release and we take a stab at the new Dave East P2.  For a 24 track release for this new Migos release, its sort of expected to have some eye brow raised cuts on here so we were prepared.  Also the much anticipated Dave East return was something we really needed to hear based on his last performance.
