But it was in prison where she would meet her future wife, finally embrace her facial hair and find her voice. She tells Jo Fidgen about how a song she wrote and performed while serving time helped her find a way out of a life previously dominated by drugs, crime and violence.

So Hip-Hop and the LGBTQ community. Will we ever get along? Not if you ask Lil Boosie. We go IN on this story about a topic Hip Hop doesn't like to talk about. Gentrification. Legal or nah? A case in Detroit could change the game in favor of the displaced. Is the Corona virus media hype? Is there a hidden agenda? Hmmmmm. We chop it up with our special guests MELVIN MAXWELL and FURY YOUNG of DIE JIM CROW and LIFER'S GROUP. New prison music coming soon from incarcerated men and women who have a message!!!!
