The BWOMS Podcast

On this episode of The BWOMS Podcast we welcome a dream team collaboration of Farbeon, A. Billi Free, and Wise Weapon. We talk about Hip-Hop, beatmaking, the concept of "Sankofa," and their collaboration on a new track "L.B.M.F. (Looking Back Moving Forward)." We recorded live at The Black Orchid Lounge right before one of our open mic nights. Of course, we listen to L.B.M.F at the end of the episode. Give it a listen!
