#5 - Boldy James' Manger on McNichols ALBUM REVIEW / Noname vs. J. Cole

(Go to 1:52 to skip the intro) This episode first focuses on the exceptional new project from Boldy James and Sterling Toles, titled Manger on McNichols, which is easily Boldy's most creative and emotionally potent artistic statement to-date.  Lastly, we will discuss the Noname and J. Cole twitter turned rap beef that broke the internet, which occurred in the heat of the Black Lives Matter protests in the United States. This beef led to interesting discussions on how best to bring people into your political movement, and the idea of policing tone or "tactics" in the first place. It's all an incredibly complex subject, and I do my best to see this issue from Cole's, Noname's, and finally my perspective as someone who is a guest in this conversation surrounding black empowerment. Let's stay connected! Find me here: https://ofbd.co/zY
