This week, Troy had the privilege of interviewing members Kael Mboya (keyboard and vocals), Michael Lockett (vocals and percussion), Eric Johnson (drums), and Cutis Kincaid (guitar). The conversation took listeners on a journey through the band's over two-decade history, while also providing insights into each member’s personal life experiences within the music industry.

Filled with humorous anecdotes and enlightening revelations, this episode promises to keep listeners thoroughly entertained.
