    If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 136) from this clip, search for the title: "Ep. 136: How to Start Healing when you come from the Streets with AJ McQueen” — it was released on: July 28, 2025.

    In XYBM 136, I sit down with AJ McQueen, the soulful entrepreneur and artist who has evolved his lyricism, consciousness, and personal experiences into his music. From his roots in St. Louis, battling hardships, witnessing violence, and experiencing tremendous personal losses, AJ has transformed these challenges into powerful narratives that resonate with many.

    We explore his journey of healing, the importance of self-love, the struggle for Black men in today’s society, and the critical role of vulnerability in personal growth. Tune in to the full episode on all podcast streaming platforms.

    AJ McQueen's sophomore album, “When We Evolve” is OUT NOW. This album IS NOT on streaming platforms. The only way to get this album is to “PAY WHAT YOU WANT” for it through EVEN. He’s also on tour starting in August. The 🔗 to his album and tour is in his bio. If you support our platform, go support him.
