  • Grand Ambition - Washington
    In the final episode of the season, we hear from the man himself.  In Grand Ambition, AJ (a.p.chmstry) samples himself from a 4.22.20 interview where he discusses what lies ahead for him and his wife as they embark on their next adventure.  This time, instead of a year-long whirlwind tour around the globe, they're going home.  In this extended episode, AJ tells you why.

  • Poetry - Scott-Heron

    Gil Scott-Heron is another in a long line of Chicago-born artists and activists.  Some would claim that he could be considered the world's first rapper.  An explosive poet, Gil Scott left an indelible mark on music and in the world.  We could only think to pair him with an arrangement that lifts you to help you reassess what's possible.

  • Believe - King

    Dr. King's quotes were sampled from a recording of his sermon titled "But If Not" delivered at Ebenezer Baptist Church on November 5th, 1967. Set against samples from Nina Simone's "To Be Young, Gifted, and Black",  a song that was also pivotal to the Civil Rights Movement.  The combination delivers a powerful message that’s still timely 50+ years later.
