Today, I talk with Lamont Jack Pearly an Applied Folklorist, African American Traditional Music Practitioner/Historian and the Executive Director at Jack Dappa Blues Heritage Preservation Foundation.

Lamont can tell stories. It is part of his craft..part of who he is. 

I interviewed Lamont about his life growing up in Brooklyn NY. We talk about music, life, early rap, and we even get into how the evolution of rap follows the crack epidemic in the 80s.
