This episode of sipping slow with Joe is a reaction to the Red table talk that hit the internet on Friday about Will and Jada Pinkett Smith and the truth around some of the drama stirred up by music artist August Alsina.  The Kid gives his personal take on the situation and also delivers a very honest moment where he admits he couldn't have sat through what Will Smith did during that talk in front of millions of people.  The last 10 minutes of this episode is run by my brother Benjamin Billz, who gives his very very candid take on the whole situation.  You don't want to miss this one.......ENJOY!!!!

Sipping slow with Joe welcomes Tierney U.  She grew up the daughter of a father in the service attending 10 schools in a 6 year period in her elementary education.  Listen closely as we talk about her ability to make friends in a space where she was rarely in the same space for too long.  We really go deep and talk about her decision to give "Pleasure" in her adulthood. TUNE IN and ENJOY!!!!

In this cast from the past,  I sit down with trained singer, accomplished writer and all dynamic human being Cheshy.  She talks about our history as well as gives us an over view of life on the west coast. This one has special insight on me from grade school to grown man because of how long Cheshy and I have known each other.  The truth shall be told and the perspective on both sides is shared....ENJOY!!!!

In this episode where we wait forever for Pivy to join the call we go into "The danger Room" for a look into everyone's perspective at the time. I aim to start my own drama bringing up "The Kid" and his 1980's flow.  We share our thoughts on support and egos as well as discuss what we thought of Wale in that time period.  I also tease my plans of making a "BARZ" podcast where we do some of our most memorable verses with no music and see if anyone missed our creativity.  This is a fun podcast......ENJOY!!

In this podcast we revisit the latest in the George Floyd case as well as address the leadership in this country. I share my thoughts on the military and their brand of leadership.  We learn more about "The Kid" and his thoughts on the commander and Chief.

In this Cast we get all the way real.  It was recored the night of May 28th after seeing the destruction of a city in response to an injustice that continues to happen in our country.  The kid and I break down our thoughts from everything including watching the video of a man being killed by the police in George Floyd, to the looting and protests that would be in the aftermath.  

In this episode  I slip slowly with some real-life family supermen. Join me as we talk with Gary E and "The Kid" and run through everything from home school to whether we feel there will be a football season in 2020. This one really felt good to have examples of black men with their focus so heavily on their children and sense of family. Join me to learn just how much these young men care about family and moving our culture forward. IT IS AMAZING!!!

In this episode,  I sip slowly with Mister Derrick Rone. He is at his core, an artist of so many talents.  Listen in as he takes me through a history about being on a billboard in the city of Baltimore to his PRIDE campaign with Under Armor. He truly is THE MOST interesting man of Baltimore. Tune in!! He is amazing and authentic.

In the last episode of the "1985's" podcast, I sip slowly with the one and only Crank Lucas.  We talk all about our 22-year history, how we met, and his work ethic.  He also talks about his first industry placement with Joyner Lucas leading to Will smith rapping over the very same beat.  Tune in for the ride through a young man's history, that is far from an overnight success, but rather a lesson in determination, drive, and (no pun intended) WILL!

In part 2 of my journey into talking with MY PEOPLE born in 1985,  I sip slow with Tai Hall.  We talk about how we met....VERY UNIQUELY....... in 1998 and how that would eventually lead me meeting my wife.  We discuss some dark history and some bright moments..... including how she would eventually use a degree in what i called "Advanced Carpet Flying" from UMD College park to become an internationally known body sculpting goddess.
