Episode 142 - Born I

from Love Is The Author Hosted by Jaymee Carpenter

Born I (Ofosu Jones-Quartey) is a DC-based rapper, Buddhist practitioner, meditation teacher, and householder. He brings his signature blend of insight, humor, and lived experience in conversation with Jaymee as the two explore the realm beyond individuality, how OCD helped him hone his craft as a lyricist, how Wu-Tang Clan was an aspirational sangha, the mix tape that changed his life, suffering as a sacred doorway of liberation, and how music can act as both mirror and medicine. LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, and recorded by Jaymee Carpenter. SOUND MIXED: Chris Faller OPENING SONG: “Ganstaleen” by JJ RAM (Jaymee) CLOSING SONG: Tripura Sundari by Earthtones Music.
