On Fresh is the Word, we like to deliver wisdom through great stories from the minds of bright creatives of pop culture. Through those stories, we like to dissect the journey of our guests and present actionable lessons and advice for our listeners no matter what career or avenue of artistry they pursue. This episode marks the third anniversary of Fresh is the Word and to celebrate this landmark this week’s guest is one of the first people I ever became friends with in the Michigan hip-hop scene, One Be Lo. Recently One Be Lo released a pair of Binary Star albums titled Lighty and Ears Apart. During our extended conversation, we talked about how we met and those early years of using the Internet to spread the word about Detroit and Michigan hip-hop, the hip-hop culture, how and why we identify race-wise, the new albums, and so much more. The discussions on this episode is so deep that its hard to describe it into words, just listen!
