Live on WQTN my first day arriving in Bali, Indonesia (11.5.2021)--I take a live listening audience on a quest down what I am calling "The Voisey Era". A period during the 2020 Pandemic where I used the app 'voisey' to evolve myself as a musician and utilize social media to push social messages surrounding the time, ultimately being the first person to create 'the voisey mixtape' and 'social media album' (an album made completely from social media).
In this episode we listen to the 3 mixtape, I share a few songs on the first social media album "When I Get There" and the process that went into it. I lastly share some of my post "When I Get There" voisey's created in Ghana, Egypt and Indonesia as a means to archive these historical moments in Internet history.
This Episode was recorded live on WQTN June 19th, 2020 during the peak of the COVID-Pandemic in the U.S.. It features Bay Area Film Maker Maria Judice (@mariajudice) and South Side Chicago Soul Healing Yogi Stacy Patrice (@soulyoginisp). In this episdoe discuss REAL Hip Hop from a Black Women perspective as two women who were there in the early 80's as Hip Hop Culture was still an Amerikan "sub-culture" that radicalized their respective communities and consciousness of the streets. We read parts of KRS ONE's "Gospel of Hip Hop" and discuss Hip Hop as it was and as it lives today, seeking to find the preservation of what was once a spiritual Culture for inner-city Youth.
