The Good Read for this episode is Shook One: Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me by Charlamagne Tha God Being “shook” is more than a rap lyric for Charlamagne, it’s his mission to overcome.

In the national bestseller Shook One, Charlamagne chronicles his journey to beat those fears and shows a path that you too can take to overcome the anxieties that may be holding you back.

Here, in Shook One, he is working through these problems—many of which he traces back to cultural PTSD—with help from mentors, friends, and therapy. Being anxious doesn’t serve the same purpose anymore. Through therapy, he’s figuring out how to get over the irrational fears that won’t take him anywhere positive What's Popping in Vell's World consists of Gunna and Young Thug albums dropping, joining the Forbes Blk community, and the OceanQuest submarine implosion.
