SHAFIQ HUSAYN IS A BRILLIANT ALCHEMIST MUSICIAN. HE HAS SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF THE INDIGENOUS FAMILY- US- SOM E CALL US BLACK FOLKS, HIS MUSICAL INFLUENCES AND THE STORIES BEHIND SOME OF OUR MOST CLASSIC SONGS WITH BILAL OLIVER, ERYKAH BADU, KANYE AND ANDRE 3000, AND OTHER ARTISTS THAT MAKE THE UNDERGROUND SOUL SOUND. HIS PRODUCTION PARTNERS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN HIS HEART, AND HIS SOLO MUSIC IS AN EXTENSION OF HIS STRONG SPIRITUAL BELIEFS AND COSMIC SENSIBILITIES.

no music, just commentary on whats going on with my mentor and friend, COOLIO, feat. Raze

ST. Louis Gibbor has a current project with producer and DJ Jah Bluez, out of Arizona- Arizona hip hop is bubbling hot! Check his song that Volume 10 and Tomeicko feature on called, " THIS THAT', off his amazing album, The Supernatural Progression of the Boom Bap, and his other catalog choppas: 'homesick", " I Told You So", "Homesick", Music to Live to", " Nat Turner", and plenty of others with features from Myka 9, Medusa, and other Heavyweight members. It was a pleasure to have a convo with this talented man! The full interview with his performances - I edited them out of this interview- copyright- can be seen/heard on youtube, twitch and facebook.

RAKAA TAYLOR aka RAKAA IRISCIENCE IS A LYRICAL LEGEND. HIS VOICE AINT TOO SHABBY EITHER. EVIDENCE, HIS PARTNER IN CRIME, AND HE HAVE BEEN A GROUP SINCE 1992. RAKAA HAS BEEN BRINGING OUT HIS SOLO ALBUMS SINCE THE EARLY 2000'S. IN 2023 I WANTED TO SEE WHERE HE IS AND WHAT HE HAS BEEN UP TO . HE IS SUCH A PLEASURE TO CHITCHAT WITH, AND WE HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF CONVERSATION IN THIS PODCAST. HE IS ALSO AN ADVERTISING CONSULTANT AND SUPER BRILLIANT, ASIDE FROM GIFTED/TALENTED. SO HE USES HIS LEFT AND RIGHT BRAIN ALL THE TIME!- HENCE WHY HIS PEOPLES IS DILATED...! HA! ENJOY!

This is the intimate, yet very open interview my husband, legendary Rap Artist, and supreme West Coast innovator from the Heavyweights Crew- which includes, Freestyle Fellowship ( Aceylone, Peace, Myka 9, Jupiter) , Medusa, Ganjah k ( RIP), Abstract Rude, D.K. Toon, DJ Kiilu, DJinji Brown, etc. He has high level content: from his first classic album, "Hip Hopera," to" Psycho", and "Pawnshop", to the present album, (" VOLUME 10 is Dean Hawkins", which is not actually a "rap" album, he's singing on 90% of it- and only has one feature- ME-his wife, TOMEICKO), nor the album he brought out in 2021-22 during the pandemic called, "AKHENATEN 2110", (which is ridiculously dope!) THIS interview is about BRAIN DAMAGE, the album that came out right before the most current classics. he explains and describes all of the thought processes that develops the songs on this album. it is a real interview, not a pretty one...
