A powerful community tribute to Malcolm‑Jamal Warner—anchored by Candace Kelley, Troy W. Harris Jr., and Layne Fontes—centers on the legacy Malcolm insisted we carry: that in 2025, new media lets us shape our own narrative. The conversation spans authenticity, code‑switching, cultural impact, and collective healing, with moving appearances from actor Lamman Rucker and Isaac Hayes III (Fanbase). Rucker recalls 40 years of brotherhood, stage work, and the discipline behind Malcolm’s artistry—from the National Black Theatre Festival to late‑night poetry sets. Isaac shares how Malcolm’s example—fitness, stretching, and integrity—quietly mentored him and why platforms like Not All Hood are vital for Black storytelling and ownership. The team revisits viral Buteco jam sessions where Malcolm lived on the bass, plus memories from press runs (Sway, Breakfast Club), and live callers reflect on why the Cosby era felt like home. This episode is part celebration, part blueprint: take the mic, build platforms, and program the algorithm with love, excellence, and truth. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this explosive episode Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley sit down with DJ Envy (Rashawn Casey) and his wife Gia Casey for one of their most vulnerable conversations yet. Together for over 30 years and married for 24, the Caseys talk about love, loss, parenting, rebuilding trust after infidelity, and surviving the dangers of fame.

DJ Envy opens up about how money and fame can corrupt people and how meeting Gia young helped him stay grounded. The couple discusses the importance of communication in marriage, evolving together through life's stages, and maintaining trust within a family unit. Gia drops powerful insights on raising confident, emotionally safe children with open dialogue—even when it gets uncomfortable.

They also tackle the challenges of raising Black children in white spaces, generational parenting differences, and why overprotectiveness isn’t paranoia—it's preparedness. With stories about sex education sparked by a bloody condom discovery, the dangers of judgmental parenting, and the weight of social media on Black culture, this episode is raw, real, and absolutely essential.

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just changing our work—it’s reshaping who we are. In this compelling Not All Hood conversation, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley dive into the unseen influence of AI on our creativity, our thinking, and our emotional lives.

As AI tools make it easier for anyone to sound brilliant, the question becomes: what makes us truly original? They discuss how tech like auto-tune and AI-generated writing have blurred the lines between human and machine-made, and why the real power lies with those who know how to use AI without losing themselves.

From students fiercely defending their AI-aided essays to professors requiring handwritten work just to ensure authenticity—this episode questions what ownership, authorship, and creativity really mean in a digital world. We also tackle the shifting landscape of DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) and how language and branding around it are being reimagined in real-time.

🎧 Tap in for a mind-bending discussion that mixes tech, ethics, education, and culture in only the way Not All Hood can. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The trio explore emotional intelligence, performative femininity, dating myths, and the shifting dynamics of love in modern Black relationships. With surgical precision, Mason unpacks why many women are struggling in relationships—not because of a lack of options, but a lack of identity. From girlfriend traps to the misunderstood power of energy and presence, this episode is a wake-up call for both men and women on how to lead with self-love, intention, and wholeness. April even assigns some relationship homework… if you're brave enough to do the work.

In this enlightening episode of Not All Hood, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Candace Kelley, and guest Jamila Norman—urban farmer, food activist, and host of HBO Max’s Homegrown—dive deep into the hidden costs of eating clean, the systemic erasure of Black farmers, and how corporate agriculture manipulates our food choices. Jamila shares her journey from growing up Caribbean to building Patchwork City Farms in Atlanta, fostering fresh food access and sustainable agriculture. The conversation unpacks how engineered foods, misleading plant-based options, and privatized food systems impact communities of color. The hosts and Jamila also discuss the importance of reconnecting with farming traditions, the challenges of urban gardening, why American grocery culture is broken, and how creating generational health through conscious eating is as critical as wealth-building. Whether you're a parent wanting healthier choices, an aspiring urban farmer, or someone rethinking their food habits, this episode will challenge what you think you know about food—and the systems controlling it. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
