  • UGRR S3E3: The Far-Reaching Effects of "Damaged" Women in the Black Community
    Taji Aqib hosts a show for his Instagram Live audience to express his anger towards men due to his struggles as a bachelor trying to find a woman who isn't too damaged to know how to love properly. Causes and effects are discussed, including ideas such as the deterioration of the Black family, trauma in the Black community, and toxic feminism. As usual, the REALroad goes DEEPER.

  • UGRR S3E2: Jazmine Sullivan’s Heaux Tales: Empowering or Oppressive?
    Spinning off from the previous episode about whether our ideas of “fun” are counterproductive to progress in these times of so-called heightened awareness about social issues, particularly in the black community, the UGRR squad reviews Jazmine Sullivan’s sexually explicit new album in a similar fashion. While many women find it relatable and empowering, has our idea of “power” become convoluted and does the bad actually outweigh the good? Who is really controlling our messages? Taji, Chanté, Keazy, and Damon G dig into concerns such as trauma, depression, misogyny, sexual freedom, power manipulation, mind control, and more as the REALroad goes DEEPER.

  • UGRR S3E1: The #BustItChallenge: Who Really Controls Our Viral Trends?
    After Taji Aqib explains how his recent bout with COVID-19 put the podcast on hold, the UGRR panel refers to the latest challenge on social media, the #BustItChallenge and addresses whether in these times, we should be putting more effort towards more productive or revolutionary demonstrations and creativity, particularly in the Black community. Things get a little heated as Taji addresses accusations that he doesn’t like to have fun, by questioning what our idea of what fun is. The Underground REALroad goes DEEPER.

  • UGRR S2E17: Toxic Friends & Family Part 2: "Birthday Tricks"
    The Realroad reconvenes for round two of the toxicity convo from last show, but takes some interesting detours. What is the difference between friends and associates? Is it a violation to not remember the birthday of a potential partner whom you just met? Do men have problems bringing up serious conversations with their friends without being labeled "gay"? Do you block toxic people? Do you care about people who you've cut off lurking on your social media? All this and more. And we go DEEPER.
