Summary

You want a complicated man? A seeker and thinker and brilliant multi-hyphenate? You gotta check our episode with Krondon. The actor-rapper-author-speaker brings it in this episode--giving us plenty of laughs and revealing his inspiring thought processes. From plumbing the depths of his character Tobias Whale on CW’s Black Lightning to breaking down the “5 Ps” of trauma that need to be undone to live happily (you’ve got to hear it to fully get it), Krondon drops so many gems that it’s hard to track them all. But as much as big ideas and his acting work are on the table, there’s also plenty of rap chat, including lots of talk about the artist’s legendary LA group, Strong Arm Steady. This episode is riveting in all the best ways, and is sure to captivate new and longtime Krondon fans.
