So You Grew Up in Alief? ft. Tobe Nwigwe & Bassam Tariq Joking Not Joking

Mo and AZ are joined by Grammy-nominated rapper, singer, and actor Tobe Nwigwe and filmmaker, producer, and screenwriter Bassam Tariq to discuss Alief: what it was like growing up in a suburb of Houston, and its lasting impact on who they are today.
