You also get early access to episodes, an invite to our Discord server, access to the Reel Talk movie night archives, and more! My guest this week is California-via-Massachusetts rapper, singer-songwriter, drummer, and DJ, Lyric Jones. We spoke about They Cloned Tyrone, Charlie Brown and Peanuts, The Temptations miniseries, the Ray Charles biopic Ray, working her way from Boston to Georgia to California, chasing her rap dreams, transitioning to DJing and dance music, using Even.Biz in the next stage of her career, and the creative process behind her latest singles “In Due Time” and “Better Now.” Come fuck with us. "In Due Time" is available wherever music is sold, streamed, or stolen. Considering purchasing it directly via Lyric on Even.Biz. Be on the lookout for a new Lyric Jones album, coming soon.  My first book, Reel Notes: Culture Writing on the Margins of Music and Movies, is available now, via 4 PM Publishing.
