We did things a little different and decided to record live from the local corner store!

Time stamps provided below: 3:00- straight weeb talk. 14:45- Islam, "The Straight Path,” and empowering the hood. 23:00- Living overseas in Jordan and Germany. 33:00- New York, the Nation of Islam, and Free Palestine til it's backwards. 39:00- Reminiscing on All-Star Weekend 2020. 54:00- The shop as a creative space for local artists and working with Joe Freshgoods. 1:07:30- Not needing validation from the mainstream, and build with the homies organically. 1:19:00- Tapping into your inner child. 1:22:00- Nader Ihmoud of Palestine in America stops by to say hi.
