C'Mon Son! The Podcast

On this Martin Luther King Day, o'g Ed Lover breaks down "cool" with young g, emerging rap artist Nick Grant. As the buzz of Nick's newly released album "Return of the Cool" stays on the incline, Ed challenges Nick to define what separates him from "mumble rappers," when did cool leave and the value of hip-hop origins in today's rap (ex. - if it wasn't for Rakim, there's no Nas; without Nas, there's no Nick Grant, etc.).

MORE: Grant spits a sultry freestyle for the ladies, leaks to our listeners what his first rap name was and keeps it candid on what it's like being managed by hip-hop icons Chaka Zulu (founder, Disturbing Tha Peace) and Jason "JG" Geter (founder, Grand Hustle).

Associated as the head culprit of the crack-cocaine epidemic that spanned across the U.S., Richard Donnell "Freeway Rick" Ross at one point had a business worth well over over $500 million in the 80s, due to his strategic methods used to distribute kilos of cocaine across the country at a bargain price.

From buying out the bar to living behind bars, Ross' trademark, famously known as "ready rock," landed him in prison, but never the less, made him iconic as ready rock made drug dealer's distribution process easier; the stimulant was immediately ready to be used and there was no need for additional processing.

On this week's episode of "C'mon Son," the original Rick Ross takes our listeners on a personal and honest journey from "ready-rock" to rehabilitated.

What happened to 90's girl groups?

Girl groups and the 90s go together like LeBron James and a basketball court. But, why is it that 90s girl groups, or girl groups in general, don't stay together very long?

The group "702" gave us hits like 'Stee-Lo' and the early-Pharrell produced chart topper, 'I Still Love You...' but when Meelah Williams sat down with Ed Lover, she told him even though the group saw success, not everything that glitters is gold.

Check out our 5th episode of "C'Mon Son! The Podcast," our conversation with 90's R&B great, the lead singer of 702, Meelah Williams.

In light of the recent hospitalization of Kanye West, Ed Lover brings in mental health expert and psychologist, Dr. Alduan Tartt (known for his appearances on BET, CNN, HLN, Black Enterprise, Essence Magazine, etc.) to address why men, especially men of color, are afraid to talk about their feelings, solutions and the taboo topic of the "Kardashian Effect."

"Men! Owning up to your feelings is NOT a sign of insecurity nor weakness! We need to embrace how we feel and talk to someone instead of letting it build up and compartmentalize, or you're going to have a breakdown." - Ed Lover

In the debut episode of "C'Mon Son!" The Podcast, Ed Lover gives his reasons for even starting a podcast, enticing listeners to question "Does Ed Lover even really f*** with this podcast sh**?"

Ed also takes a dive into politics, from why he wishes he didn't vote in the 2016 election, to why Michelle Obama should be the next POTUS...mainly so he can get invited to the White House and sip Hennessy and eat chicken wings with bou-jee Black people.

Enjoy and share.
