Best Kept "Secret":
Nipsey Hussle - Perfect Timing

This past weekend, the hip-hop/business/tech./LA community loss a great man in Nipsey Hussle. This episode is all Hussle, I speak about what he meant for a community (or county) I was raised in while also reflecting on what he meant to me as someone who aspires to go back into the community in which I was raised and provide opportunities for everybody from kids to adults who lack the resources being residents of an underprivileged community. Nipsey Hussle, thank you for everything you embodied and more importantly for the blueprint you laid out.

Nipsey Hussle - Loaded Bases feat. Ceelo Green

As many hoped for in the beginning, the Big Baller Brand is starting to crumble what was the first domino to fall? Although Kaepernick and the NFL had a NDA on the amount of the settlement they came to turns with in their collusion case, but somehow we still know how much Kap settled for.. how? #45 and Jussie Smollet both were let loose in the investigations they were involved in but are either of them innocent?

Huge congrats to Tanitoluwa Adewunmi, 8 year-old NY State Chess Champ in his division, who has overcome the adversity he and his family met while fleeing Nigeria seeking refuge in America.

This episode is pretty straightforward, I ended last episode on a rant and tried to connect dots from a previous episode's topic; so I started this week's episode bringing that all together. Also, I shine the light on a young black kid refusing to conform to the norms or "code of the streets" while highlighting his bravery. Alladat and more. 


Best Kept Secret:
TOBi - City Blues

The world, America specifically, is already filled with racists/bigots; you don't have to go far too find them in any state or city. So, why the hell would Jussie Smollet feel the need to fabricate a story about being subjected to a hate crime!?! A courageous sixth-grader in Lakeland, FL was arrested for his disbelief in the American flag's values, Kaepernick and the NFL settled their collusion case; so does this make him a sellout? This episode covers alladat & some mo'...
