Session 62: Canvas (with Mamadou Y.)

Mamadaou Y. talks to Eric and Aazim about his journey as a multifaceted creative and the development of his recent album, To Stitch A Rose. Mamadou also speaks candidly about being the son of Malian immigrants, growing up in Harlem, and embracing his Islamic faith.

TL; DL: Mother Tongue → Survival Tactics vs. Superpowers → A Poet First → Meet Mamadou. → Letting It Breathe → Persistent x Patient → Words Can Only Do So Much → Inshallah → Right Hook → The Middle ?!
