Guest: Ronald James

In this episode of Pelham Place, Jay Pelham revisits his 2020 conversation with friend and creative force Ron James for a deep conversation about expression, authenticity, and the raw passion behind the creative process.

Ron talks about forming the rap group Catch the Fade with his cousin and their success with the single "Myself," featuring Baltimore rapper King Los.

Ron reflects on the soul of creativity: the importance of caring deeply about every detail, from lyrics to drum sounds, and how even casual moments in art are often full of intention.

Ron describes himself as a "utility creative," someone who uses whatever medium is available to express emotion and meaning. Whether you’re an artist, a fan of independent music, or just someone trying to understand what makes creativity tick, this episode will give you a new appreciation for the passion and precision behind the work.
