In the creative industry, many champion the hustle over rest. Some millionaires have said "I'll rest when I die. There's too much work to do and so much money to be made." The truth is rest is needed and there's nothing wrong with getting it -- as a matter of fact, its healthy. A long year of hard work in 2019 inspired Pat Junior to write this record and this episode details how it came about with his friend/producer Byron August.

Being yourself in an industry where others thrive off of having painful or dangerous stories can make you feel like an outcast when your story isn't that. In this episode we discuss the track "Cool With You?" with Pat's co-producer on the record & long time friend, J. Pelham. We pose and discuss the thought of - Is there found greater success in living out authenticity in the music industry?

My 2nd guess is a Creative Blerd (Black Nerd) just like myself and I've known her since the day she was born. Although we weren't born on the same day, she's still my Wonder Twin in that her creative ability and imagination in my opinion is my equal. She's a young digital painter, sketch artist and animator who is influenced by colorful nostalgia and vibrant modern tones. In this episode she discusses her influences, growing up as my sister, Comic Con vs Animazement, being a Black woman in the animation space and more.

Last week, I wasn't able to properly celebrate the anniversary of my 2019 album release, ITIK due to the news and tension of the elections. However, it gave me some time to properly plan HOW to celebrate and showcase the version of the album that was only open to those who came to the listening at CAM in Raleigh, NC. Now, I'm making it available to public to celebrate my best public body of work to date.
