0:00.0	What is up, everybody?
0:04.5	Welcome to another episode of conversations with Tom.
0:07.2	I am here with Coleman Hughes.
0:10.0	Coleman, thank you so much for joining me, man.
0:12.5	Glad to be here.
0:13.9	So I think I first found you on Sam Harris's podcast, and then you introduced me to Thomas Chatterton Williams, who I
0:22.9	recently had on the show, who was amazing. So thank you so much for that intro. He's super
0:28.0	fascinating dude. And then in researching you, I came across what you're doing as Coldman,

1:07.8	could go pretty hard on the music. Do you produce or do you
1:11.3	just rap? Produce, mix, rap, all of it. So for you, though, is there something big missing in that
1:20.8	you're not able to perform in front of a crowd? Well, yes and no. Definitely performing in front of a
1:27.0	crowd is the most exciting thing ever.
1:29.3	But 95% of the time that you're working as a musician, in my context, it's alone because I'm making beats by myself,
