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.

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

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.

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

What About-ism
This week I give my takes on the strange phenomenon of black people, black men especially having this para-social relationship with wealthy black men who are brought up on various allegations, I speak to how we should react to these occurrences and speaking to the quiet part being said out loud, Diddy, Bill Cosby, R.Kelly, Russell Simmons, etc. do not need the protection of the black community because they weren't thinking about the black community when they caused harm.

Customer Reviews
This is a vibe
Rodneys voice is like smooth whiskey after a long day. I walk away with lightbulbs and insight after his episodes! Fantastic interviewer too
Increasing knowledge and discussions
This is one of the best podcasts that covers a range of topics, identities and experiences. Thank you for having me as a 2021 guest to discuss Black childfree and as a February 2023 guest to discuss community actions.
