Music of My Mind, from 'The Wonder of Stevie'

Sharing a preview of a podcast called The Wonder of Stevie. You might think you know Stevie Wonder. You might think you know his music. But you’ve never heard it like this. Host Wesley Morris is taking you on a deep-dive through Stevie's Classic Period: five legendary albums back-to-back in just four years. Hear about the record deal that started it all, the technology Stevie adopted to create never-before-heard sounds, and his influence on our culture. There will be appearances from legends like Barack and Michelle Obama, Questlove, Smokey Robinson, Dionne Warwick, Babyface, Janelle Monae and more. In this episode, Wesley details how, years after signing his first recording deal with Motown Records, Stevie decides to renegotiate his contract. One of the things on the table? Complete creative freedom. What follows is the beginning of one of the greatest streak of albums in American popular music: Music of My Mind.

Raekwon Talks Wu-Tang Dynamics, C.R.E.A.M. History, Ghostface Killah Collaborations, Favorite Gangsta Movies and More

Raekwon the Chef is in the building! You know what that means? No punches pulled, no questions dodged. It’s all kept 100, 100% of the time. When Rae sits down to talk with Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh, there’s no need for chit chat. The trio gets into the meaty convos right away -- from Wu family dynamics to the Supreme Alchemy of the 5% Nation to songwriting techniques to The Purple Tape. The convo is wide-ranging and avoids nothing. It’s not just about “what” is discussed, though -- it’s also “how.” Raekwon and Kweli respect one another as lyricists, road warriors, and rappers who have been in the game and are still thriving. That mutual respect leads to a level of honesty that’s rare in celebrity interviews. You love the Wu-Tang? Get your ears on this one -- it’s a classic.
