Internets! We back at it with another dope episode. This time we have rock star Trinidad James to talk to us about his artistic direction and his worldview. What surprised us about Trinidad James was his commitment to excellence and the endeavor to achieve it. Hard work might be one of the biggest cliches you’ve ever heard but issa fact that you can’t be a success if you can’t put in the work. Black Lives Matter and Black Style Matters to Trinidad James. Salute this brother
Internets! It’s always a teachable moment when Royce Da 5-9 steps into the spaceship. The allegorical lyricist brings an elevated insight to any discussion. The pause in our society has allowed Royce to pivot his plans in the game. Touring artists have had to find new and different streams of income to supplant themselves. This is a life changing moment except for those who are committed to constant change in their lives. Shit gets deep. Fuxwit us

Talkitecture isnt just a podcast. Talkitecture is ballin’. Ball is life.
Can I bus? Yes you can. If you told us 20 years ago during the peak of America’s ‘War on Drugs’ that we’d end up legalizing the stuff we were incarcerating people for we’d have said no way. America spent trillions of dollars fighting this so called war. The police, the prosecutors, the judges, the jailers. All this money to concede that maybe marijuana wasn’t the problem our propaganda had made it out to be. Let High Times esteemed editor Danny Danko shed some light on the legalization movement. Danny also shares some trippy treats with the Talkitects. Someone come get your boy Dallas Penn. Also, the Talkitects talk the NBA for the bonus.

Kwame Holland is an infamous punchline from Notorious B.I.G. Kwame is also a multi-platinum producer for some of rap music’s greatest legends. If you ever wanted to know what the effect public perception holds over the pedestrian fan’s mindset Kwame is the perfect case study. Under the radar he travels the globes continuously living off production residuals and earning some margiela and louboutin sneaker money doing shows. Talk that talk Kwame
nternets, it’s impossible to define this guest with a word or even phrase. Jack of All Trades? Fixer? I’ll just use his term, patriarch. Curtis Scoon is one of the most polarizing cultural commentators on social media. He’s earned his opinions however and he continues to put the n the work that makes his words valid. Scoon’s latest project is a film titled ‘Black, White and Blue’ and it’s an unflinching look into the state of Black America. Just like Curtis Scoon’s visit to the Talkitecture spaceship there are no filters in effect. Prepare to be offended if you are a coward
