Summary
The ‘Jenkins and Jonez’ crew are joined by author and poet Hanif Abdurraqib to discuss the parallels music can make with life including how regional music like ‘Black and Yellow’ becomes national music and how Kendrick Lamar was able to tell a coming of age story through his album ‘Good Kid, M.A.A.D.
