What happens when we come face to face with death?

My truck was blown up by a 20-pound anti-taint mine.

My parachute did not deploy.

I was kidnapped by a drug cartel.

When we stepped beyond the edge of what we know,

clinically died, the heart stopped beating.

Which I was dead for 11.5 minutes.

In return.

It's a miracle I was brought back.

Alive Again.

A podcast about the strength of the human spirit.

I think everything that might have dropped in 95 has been labeled the golden years of hip hop.

It's Black Music Month and We Need to Talk is tapping in.

I'm Naila Simone, breaking down lyrics, amplifying voices and digging into the culture that's shaped the soundtrack of our lives.

Like that's what's really important and that's what stands out is that our music changes people's lives for the better.

Let's talk about the music that moves us.
