When a legend reaches out to you, you take it seriously. I share a story about the time Grandmaster Caz of the Cold Crush Brothers sent me an email, and it wasn't because he loved what I was doing.

The Arsonists were an underground hip-hop super group in the late 90s that had a huge influence on me as an emcee and artist. I share a story from my adolescence that has had an impact on me ever since.

 Juvenile blew up in the late 1990s with the release of "Ha," but purists like myself held their nose. Years later, I understand and appreciate the song. In this episode, I delve into the connection between the track, Juvenile's hip-hop and the soul of blues music.

 George W. Bush left the office of the presidency in January of 2009 with a very low approval rating. Thanks to the mainstream media, he's gone on a rehab tour to recover from his low favorability wounds.
