Our guest is a hip hop producer who was appointed by the US Embassy as a music ambassador to Nigeria and now serves as the project manager of the Future Music Project at Carnegie Hall.

We discuss his journey of inspiring and mentoring the next generation of artists, and how his experience in Nigeria transformed his views on community and music. We also dive into the concept of "musical lineage" and the importance of understanding the cultural context of music.

Join us for a compelling conversation about the power of music and its role in fostering creativity and growth.
