Part Two: Convergence
from Poet's Return - The Poetry Podcast Hosted by Melissa Booey
In Part Two of the Season One Finale, Philasifer raps the other seven of the ten Milkcrate Monologues. His poetic influences combined with the message he's determined to share with the world make RJ Wayne's book turned stage play a piece of writing that needs to be seen, heard, and performed as an integral part of Hiphop culture. Here we listen to Ron discuss more about his roots, inspiration, struggles, and how he has overcome those struggles in order to create something that's bigger than all of us. Don't be fooled my friends, let yourself jump into the cypher and discover the truth within the system, while cultivating the power of collaboration, and most importantly, reiterating the necessity of storytelling now more than ever. ****** The Milkcrate Monologues by Ron Johnson (RJ WAYNE) AKA Philasifer ****** Pieces shared on this episode: ****** 1) INFINITE 2) 80 Life 3) Untitled 4) Somebody's Gonna Die Today 5) They Be Illin' 6) Poor Man's Front Door 7) Robots for Breakfast ******** Here we explore the heartbreak of growing up, the nostalgia of our childhoods, and the hand we're dealt before we're even born. The themes are potent and the realtability is palpable. As with the greatest rappers and Hiphop artists of all time, you have to speak the truth. Even if your voice shakes. But no worries about that, because Philasifer? He's definitely not shaky when it comes to spitting those truths.
