This year marks the 20th Anniversary of The Fugees classic album, “The Score” and our beloved homegirl, Ms. Amira Fair who is the host of “The Spill” on Non-fiction Radio recently had the pleasure of interviewing the legendary Grammy Award winning music producer, Jerry Wonda. They sat down and made time to discuss his musical inspirations (KRS-One, Dr. Dre, and Quincy Jones), his love for being a chef of music, and how it feels to win 3 Grammys. His impression of his cousin Wyclef is pretty on point also!

Some of our favorite records from Jerry include Miguel’s “Do You”, Lupe’s “Out of My Head”, Whitney’s “My Love is Your Love” (RIP), and Santana’s “Maria Maria” just to name a few!

Enjoy the interview!

Adidas #SongsFromScratch

As I was organizing my desk and sorting through some papers I came across an old note with an asterisk that read, *All In – Mr. Carmack & Kehlani. I remember writing this down this past summer after hearing the song on a Soulection mix via Beats 1 radio. I decided to revisit the song today and I happened to come across this #SongsFromScratch video presented by Adidas Originals and Yours Truly Creative.

I’m always a fan of dope branded content! Here’s an inspiring glimpse of the creative process behind what it took to create Kehlani & Mr. Carmack’s “All In.”

Enjoy!
