ii-150 For the Greater Good... I forgive You Ft Genie

In this milestone Episode 150 of Introspective Insight: The Black Wall Street Podcast, King Dev and Magic Gretzky sit down with Rochester artist Genie for a deep, layered conversation about music, history, identity, grief, faith, creativity, and the power of intentional art. Genie opens up about growing up around jazz, gospel, and hip-hop influences, learning trumpet from his father, performing from a young age, and why he’s finally taking music seriously now. The conversation dives into artistic authenticity, conceptual albums, timeless music, and how great artists create for the audience without losing themselves in the process. But this episode goes far beyond music. The crew also explores: - The legacy of Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation - Racism, capitalism, and historical systems of power - Black leadership, unity, and the fragmentation of community - Individualism vs. collective progress - Faith, purpose, and honoring loved ones through your work - What it really means to create art that shapes culture instead of just reflecting it This is one of those episodes where the conversation flows naturally between music theory, personal philosophy, Black history, and real-life perspective. Featured Guest: Genie - Rochester-based artist blending R&B, rap, jazz, and soulful storytelling - Founder/member of Darkside Collectives - Influenced by D’Angelo, Busta Rhymes, Pharrell, Timbaland, and classic neo-soul - Known for genre versatility and emotionally intentional music Episode Highlights - How Genie developed his sound from jazz trumpet to R&B and rap - Why hooks and crowd connection still matter in modern music - The difference between personal music and audience-centered artistry - Favorite albums, producers, and vocalists of all time - A powerful discussion on Black unity, leadership, and historical narratives Word of the Show Luminary — a person who inspires or influences others, especially in a particular field. Quote of the Show “Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.” #JoinTheConversation Drop your thoughts in the comments: Do you think music should be personal, universal, or both? What’s your favorite conceptual album of all time? Can art genuinely shape society, or does it mostly reflect it?

ii-042 The Black Who Cried Wolf... Tot Tot Tottie

Peace, Love, and all that good stuff! WoS – Moxie – Courage; nerve; determination QoS – For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind. Off-Topic – Movin on up, to the eastside | Florida about to change the game | NBA Youngboy hittin his girl Topic – The Progressive Oppressive Mindset ~The Progressive Oppressive Mindset is the type of mindset who looks to break barriers (race, gender, inequality, etc.) and influence change but does by trying to band together and force the hands of the oppressor through the use of boycotts. ~The more knowledgeable we become in this world the more we look for equality. This means what ever our white brothers and sisters get we have to either meet that or surpass that. And if we are lowballed we are quick to pull the race card, gender card, and any other card that can start a ongoing conversation. ~ This happens across the board but more specifically I’m speaking exclusively on the African community. The most current happening of this is the whole Monique Vs. Netflix situation. ~When Monique didn’t get what she wanted money wise she decided to call out Netflix claiming gender and race bias as well as calling for a boycott. ~Gender/race bias are present today but every time we don’t get exactly what we want we cant just pull those political cards thinking that these white corporations are going to jump. The only thing that makes them move is money and competition. ~ Looking to change what they are doing that you see is wrong is the progressive side working for the better of all that comes behind you BUT doing that by calling for boycotting in hopes that white corporate America will even budge is the oppressive side at work thus you have the progressive oppressive mindset. Break | WYD x Nowell Major Topic – Motherly Duty vs. Parental knowledge ~Does a mother have right to ask her child’s father how he knows his child’s social? ~I think asking a father how he knows something about his child is blatant disrespect ~I can see if he is a dead beat and wants nothing to do with his child but if he isn’t and you still feel the need to ask that, I think it is a clear slap in the face. ~People are shady and use their child’s social for bills and cable and such but whose to say the mom wont do the same thing ~The only time I think that question should be asked is if a parent is asking for the social security number out of the blue so now you need to question as to why he/she is asking for it, what they need it for, and so on. ~But to just ask how you got your child’s social is disrespectful to a responsible father doing what he needs to do in order to take care of his child. ~Motherly duty is to protect and provide and so is the fathers and I think it is common parental knowledge to have access to your child’s important information, period.

Peace, love, and all that good stuff! WoS – Utopia – any visionary system of political or social perfection QoS – “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” Off-Topic – Why so Emotional? Talking points: Utopian Bubble -There are still people in this world who detach themselves and all around them from reality, living within a personal utopian bubble. Completely eliminating reality. Giving off the perception that their world is perfect. -A bubble is a perfect way to describe their utopian perception because a bubble is very fragile yet transparent. It is not sturdy so it can easily be disturbed, which is why they have to be “careful” and extremely cautious as to whom they choose to let in. -From the inside out their perception on outsiders is very skewed because of the unclear transparency of the bubble. It leads them to believe that imperfection is a trait of only the outsiders. Your Identity -Identity is an endless timeless struggle we face as a people. Not only do we struggle with it, it dictates who we become. Throughout life we embark on a journey that challenges us to discover who we are. Along the journey we often get lost and it’s hard to find our way back to our path. The show will take you through the processes of the team as they each grew up and found who they are up until this point. - Authenticity Thank you for checking out this episode of Introspective Insight: The Black Wallstreet Podcast and we hope you come back next week with a new set of ears.
