    Send it On: Tribute to the Life of D'Angelo

    After a 17-month hiatus, I come back to pay tribute to someone that I didn't realize until this news of his transition was like my spiritually creative  "father figure", gotta listen to get the context of that. I present an audio experience that expresses the genuine love and adoration I have for the life and artistry of Michael "D'Angelo" Archer. I get biographical, I talk about the music, and I do a "Send it On" segment that's ripe for the times we are living in. I hope you enjoy, and I won't make y'all wait too long before I return. Peace and Long Live D'Angelo    Follow the podcast on Instagram: @simplykingpod   Follow on Tiktok: @kings_memoirs Follow me everywhere @kings_memoirs    Small business owner or considering starting a business, allow me to assist with your digital marketing needs.

    How to Be Wrong

    This week I speak to something that I believe will spark thought, and that is How to be wrong because I perceive there is a natural aversion to being wrong and I believe that we shouldn't run from it but lean into it, so that we can grow.  I also gave my overall take on the Kendrick Lamar Vs Drake rap beef, a lot of people still wrong about that but let me know what you think about my take on the matter    Follow the podcast on IG @simplykingpod Follow on Tiktok @kings_memoirs Follow me everywhere @kings_memoirs  Follow my business page @lifeasking Sign up for my email list so that you never miss content  https://www.lifeasking.com/links

    Lost Confessions ft. Koko

    This week is the last part of my 4 part lyrical breakdown series Toxic Tracks, featuring the lovely and multitalented artist and content creative Koko. We wrapped up the compilation with breaking down two classics from two R&B icons Usher's "Confessions Pt. 2" and Jazmine Sullivan's "Lost Ones". These songs had us deep in our bag of poor choices in relationships, how we can be selfish, and the ever so necessary need to tap into your intuition.    Keep up with Koko here https://beacons.ai/keepingupwkoko    Follow the podcast on IG @simplykingpod Follow on Tiktok @kings_memoirs Follow me everywhere @kings_memoirs  Follow my business page @lifeasking Sign up for my email list so that you never miss content  https://www.lifeasking.com/links      (I do not own the music used in this production)

    As We Lay, Lonely ft. Koko

    This week we continue with the third installment of the lyrical breakdown series that I call Toxic Tracks. I have back as a guest the multitalented artist and content creator Koko to help me analyze these songs. The songs featured are what some people would call "oldies or dusties" Shirley Murdock's As we Lay & Bobby Womack's If You Think You're Lonely Now  These tracks make us touch on the previous generations' perception of infidelity, those post break up woes and so much more  Keep up with Koko here; https://beacons.ai/keepingupwkoko    Follow the podcast on IG @simplykingpod Follow on Tiktok @kings_memoirs Follow me everywhere @kings_memoirs  Follow my business page @lifeasking Sign up for my email list so that you never miss content  https://www.lifeasking.com/links

    Emo +Toxic ft. Koko

    This week Koko and I continue on this journey to point out the level of toxicity within music.  The songs analyzed for this episode are; The Weeknd's 2011 hit from his House Balloons EP "The Knowing" and Rihanna's 2006 track " Unfaithful" from her album titled A Girl Like Me  These songs created so many rants about relationships, infidelity, and a 90s film of the same name of one of the tracks.    Keep up with Koko here : https://beacons.ai/keepingupwkoko    Follow the podcast on IG @simplykingpod Follow on Tiktok @kings_memoirs Follow me everywhere @kings_memoirs  Follow my business page @lifeasking Sign up for my email list so that you never miss content  https://www.lifeasking.com/links    (I do not own the music used in this production)

    Adults Can't Complain

    This is my first attempt at a mini-pod, I have been long-winded my whole lifetime to practice the virtue of conciseness, I give my opinions on the idea of Adults complaining, I think that we should be constructive with things that are unpleasant to us, I say adults can't complain we have Adult Grievances, listen now and enjoy    Send it On (call to action) : Reply to this Braid prompt : What is your Adult Grievance? https://link.braidit.com/N5venILcEIb    Braid - Long form to short-form content sourcing application   Follow the podcast on IG @simplykingpod Follow on Tiktok @kings_memoirs Follow me everywhere @kings_memoirs  Follow my business page @lifeasking Sign up for my email list so that you never miss content  https://www.lifeasking.com/links
