.WAVS OF THE BLACK UNIVERSAL

I got the chance to talk to a powerful artist and cultural worker, Abdu Ali, a self described ferociously soft visionary from Baldamore. Abdu gives us so many gems about making their last album, FIYAH!!!, paying homage to black radical literary ancestors and basically shares an instructional guide on how to work while de-centering the white gaze internationally. I hope you feel as powerful while listening as I did in conversation with them.

.WAVS of GODFORCE

The first episode is with the AMAZING Latasha. We talk about everything from helpful rituals to move through self doubt (hint, maybe it means imaging Prince in your brain to talk to), the importance of owning your story in a music industry that asks to assimilate us, Latasha's company, Lytework and how her vision of success grows and transforms just as she does. There is a transcript available, please feel free to email creatrxmusic@gmail.com for it! To keep up with all the magic Latasha's offering follow her on IG and Twitter at @callmelatasha. Get into Latasha's playlist here that includes her bops and all of her inspirations.
