The Corner
The Corner is one person’s journey as a father, husband, poet, hip hop head, jazz head, music and word nerd, and seeker of all the beauty in this whole life. It’s about the friends he’s met along the way. Every episode will be discussions about music, poetry, and so much more! All that makes life so dynamic and so human! All Intro & End Music by M.

Episodes
This episode continues the series (part 2) I started last time about the history that went on to inform and inspire laws and policies related to equality, civil rights, and ultimately what is now known as D.E.I. On this episode, I discuss the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments of The Constitution, the Chinese Exclusionary Act, and the many treaties the United States government broke with the indigenous people of this land.
As promised...
On this episode, I start the multi-part series of what in American history led to D.E.I. related laws and policies. It's a dark and horrid history, one that I don't think many people rallying against equality truly let themselves understand.

This episode is all about how to SUPPORT THE ARTISTS and why. Simply put, the royalties SUCK. In the days of streaming music, it's much harder to see any real revenue from the work it takes to get the art out there. As promised, here's a list of how to support the artists (all of them), that have come on The Corner, writers included.

The Corner keeps coming and this time I sit down with my dude Stef aka P.O.S! What you’ll hear on this one is a little catching up between two friends, a little humor, and even a little talking about crying at rap shows and a short list of songs that make us cry. Which is kinda funny at the same time! A little about Stef: under the moniker P.O.S he is 1/7 of Doomtree, 1/4 of Shredders, 1/3 of Relay, 1/? of a handful of other tracks...
