Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I'm your host Tim Landes. My guest on this episode is one of the busiest people in the Tulsa music scene. Rapper Steph Simon didn't even let the COVID-19 pandemic slow him down. In the last two months he's been involved in two album releases. First there's Fire In Little Africa, which features 60 artists on 21 tracks, most the artists are from Tulsa, and it's mostly the artists way of talking about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The project was picked up by Motown Records and Steph was in New York City promoting the new album when we talked over Zoom on July 13.  The album debuted to critical acclaim, and it's lead singles “Shining” and “Elevator” quickly climbed the streaming charts. Listening to Steph talk about making the album gave me chills. From the recording process at Greenwood Cultural Center to inside the mansion of the late Tate Brady, who helped orchestrate the race massacre, to wrapping up the recording sessions the day the world stopped, it's an incredible story. Then there's Steph's sixth studio album, Diamonds from the Tisdale, which dropped June 14. It's another personal effort from the Tulsa-born and raised rapper, with many of the songs helping form his biography. The album is released under his and former NFL player Felix Jones label “Skyline Star Records.” Steph talks about how he's balanced the two worlds when it comes to releasing on a major label versus his own.One of my favorite tracks on the new album is “Skate Town,” and I was excited to hear the back story. I asked Steph if we could share it as the playout song, and he agreed, so after hearing us talk about it, make sure you give it a listen. There's also a great video that is linked in the show notes. I've watched Steph perform numerous times over the years and have always admired his style of rapping, so I was excited to get the opportunity to finally learn more about him, including the artists that inspired and motivated him. I could definitely hear the Biggie Smalls sound, but his main inspiration surprised me until he described it and now every time I listen to his music, I can't help but hear the influence.  This fall, he'll get the chance to be a hip-hop educator at McLain. We shared an article about the program last August, but the pandemic forced a delayed start to in-person classes till this fall. As you'll hear, Steph is super excited about being a teacher and helping create creative pathways for the students.  When he's not rapping or teaching, he's helping book and promote shows like the recent World Culture Music Festival and the upcoming Curren$y show at Cain's Ballroom on Aug. 20. You can catch Steph and the rest of Fire In Little Africa when they open for Lil Baby at the BOK Center on Aug. 6. I could have talked to Steph for hours, but like I said he's a busy man. I had a great time getting to know him and it only made me respect and admire him even more. We're lucky to have him making music here in Tulsa.  OK, let's get this going. This is Tulsa Talks with Steph Simon. Alright, lace up those skates and get ready to roll. From Steph's new album “Diamonds from the Tisdale,” here is “Skate Town.”

During segregation, North Tulsa and Greenwood was primarily Black and was called Little Africa. But it was home to one of the most prosperous Black communities in history, Black Wall Street. On May 31 and June 1, 1921, a white mob with the support of local law enforcement attacked, burning dozens of homes and buildings and killing an estimated 300 people. Now 100 years later, a collective of Oklahoma hip-hop artists have released a commemorative project via Motown Records and Black Forum titled Fire in Little Africa. Combining the talents of more than 40 different artists, rappers, poets, and singers, Fire in Little Africa hopes to shine on not just the Tulsa hip-hop scene, but also a part of history that for many of the artists was never really taught to them in school. In this episode, hear more about how the album was recorded, the growing Tulsa and Oklahoma hip-hop community that it represents, and what it means to them. Support this podcast

The Tulsa massacre of 1921 was a coördinated assault on and destruction of the thriving Black community known as Greenwood, Black Wall Street, or Little Africa. Even today, the death toll remains unknown. In fact, for generations, most people—including many Tulsans—did not know about the massacre at all. This year marks its hundredth anniversary, and it is being commemorated with documentaries, official events in Tulsa, and one very unusual rap album: “Fire in Little Africa,” which comes out in May on Motown Records. It features about forty rappers, and thirty other singers, musicians, and producers who tell the story of Greenwood at its height—and of their dreams of a revitalized Black Tulsa. The freelance producer Taylor Hosking explains the creation of the album to The New Yorker’s Vinson Cunningham.
