In this episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Mühlethaler interviews André Anderson, an author, educator, and the founder of Freedom and Balance art college. Anne first encountered Andre during his impactful TEDx talk at Hackney Empire in London and was immediately drawn to his innovative approach to storytelling.André tells Anne about his journey from a creative child who loved making imagery, writing stories and dreaming of his own media empire to becoming a self-published author and community storyteller. He explains how his first book "Ultra" — written in just 12 days on his Blackberry — opened unexpected doors and taught him the principle that "the more you create, the freer you become."Their conversation also explores André's groundbreaking project "Authors of the Estate," for which he transformed his Northwest London council estate into a publishing house. Andre explains how this initiative challenged negative narratives about his community by empowering residents to author their own stories. He likens this work to the tradition of oral historians in West Africa (called griot), highlighting how storytelling serves as both cultural preservation and a political act. André also mentions "Chalk Hill," the second book that followed "Authors of the Estate" in his publishing journey.Anne and André discuss the etymology of words like "author" and "education," as André explains how understanding their roots has shaped his approach to creativity and teaching. André also explains how his art college, Freedom and Balance, creates environments for people to discover their unique creative language through play. He shares his realization that facilitation is about asking powerful questions rather than providing all the answers, describing his role memorably: "I am Gandalf, and all of my tools, or all of my magic, is tools of play."Anne and André delve into the importance of aspirational play for adults in an increasingly AI-driven world, with André suggesting that play might be the most distinctly human activity that cannot be replaced by technology. They examine how imperfection, vulnerability and the willingness to make mistakes can become powerful educational tools and discuss André's project "Love Letters for My Peoples," which uses love as a framework for creativity and connection.Throughout the conversation, André shares his philosophy of "heart work" — creative work that incorporates strands of one's authentic self — and reflects on the importance of process over product. André even makes a compelling comparison between his "Authors of the Estate" project and Nas's seminal album "Illmatic," referring to it as his defining work that fans always want to hear again. The episode concludes with André's thoughtful responses to Anne's closing lightning round questions, revealing his deep connection to creativity, his appreciation for his mother's early support of his creative pursuits and his belief that happiness comes from knowing the world has heard you.A profound conversation about reclaiming narratives, finding freedom through creativity and the transformative power of play. Happy listening!About André AndersonFreedom & Balance is an Art College for the artist in everyone. They create programs that help organizations shape their future through play and help communities playfully grow into the type of leaders their world looks for.

What up Fellas! Nach dem Erfolg von "Illmatic" und "It Was Written" wollte Nas wieder liefern. Das Supergroup-Projekt "The Firm" floppte, obwohl man auf seinem vergangenen Solo-Album einen vielversprechenden Teaser für das Potenzial erhielt. Zudem folgte Kritik vom Label, die Nas dazu drängen wollten, ähnlich wie andere New Yorker Größen, kommerziellere Sounds mit einfließen zu lassen. Ab Ende 1998 arbeitete er an einem vielschichtigen Doppel-Album, welches durch strukturelle Problematiken so nie erschien, welche heute nicht mehr wegzudenken sind. Dennoch releaste Nas wie geplant im April 1999 sein drittes Solo-Album, welches nun den Titel "I Am..." trug. Heute sprechen wir über die erste Hälfte des Albums; über einen Ableger, welcher trotz seiner Qualität dem Original nicht das Wasser reichen kann; über die unverwechselbare Eigenschaft von Nas, Respekt, Harmonie und Trauer mit Credibility im Rap-Game zu kombinieren; und über Features, die in verschiedener Weise interessant zu diskutieren sind. Also checkt gerne die neue Folge ab! Checkt gerne die neue Folge „Rap gehört zum guten Ton“ aus! Habt ein schönes Wochenende! Stay strapped und seid lieb zueinander!

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam listen to Jamie's next pick, Green Day's "Dookie". Released in 1994, it is way up there on the list of the best selling albums of all time. Their major label debut, it came out of the gate strong and was amplified by an absolutely unhinged appearance at Woodstock '94. Critics have said this album marks a turning point in the 90's, moving music away from the grunge sound from the early part, to a more pop-punk sound in the later half. We've already covered four albums that came out in 1994, Live's "Throwing Copper", Weezer's "Blue Album", The Offspring's "Smash" and Nas' "Illmatic", but what will the boys think of this one? Will they be "Having a Blast"? Come along and find out!

Welcome back to another episode of Nattering With E. Today, Neil Jordan of @TheFalse9 returns to the Nattering Studios to discuss arguably the greatest Rap album in history, Illmatic by Nas. Released in 1994, Illmatic was the first album to have an All-Star production team ranging from Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest, Large Professor, DJ Premier, and more heavyweights in the Rap community of the time. While breaking down the podcast, we also go on a few tangents about sports, some other albums fans should know about, and how the lyrics within each song on the album still apply to life today. Some say this is Nas's best album ever and he's been chasing that high ever since.

Rap vagabond is about the only way to describe Rav. The USSR-born, London-based, East Coast-terrorizing rapper is a man out of time and without a land. A founder of the internet only EXO label, Rav and his cohort met through the fertile grounds of Newgrounds, looking for fellow hip-hop heads who held Akira and Illmatic in equal reverence. Rav burst out in 2012 with the Hyperkinesis EP, a rambunctious, bratty collection of songs that only held a veneer of joy before diving into an ocean's worth of sorrow. In the three years after, Rav grew up. His own struggles with addiction and depression had reached their climaxes, and in the burnout, he found the spirit that moved Beneath the Toxic Jungle. “Solanine,” the first single from the album, was a grand representation of the lo-fi, sigh filled, improbably catchy rap that he rode throughout the album. So read our thoughts on “Solanine,” listen to our interview with Rav and see why we think it's one of the best of the 10s. “That perfect ideal version of me being in a better place, just in that moment in time, felt like it was further than ever before. ” — Rav

From the initial freestyling phase to incorporating pre-existing hooks, we share the magic that goes into bringing a music project to life.We also break down the essence of timeless classics like Illmatic and how revisiting these albums fuels our creativity. Shoutouts to Sauce Walka's LA Leakers appearance, and the rise of Jay Worthy with Westside and Larry June, highlight our musical influences. Plus, hear all about our collaborative project development and the memorable moments shared with artists like Markas and K Hella during recording sessions and video shoots.Balancing parenthood with music creation is no small feat, and we lay it all out – from the challenges of having a child in the NICU to the joyous chaos of raising a curious toddler. We also touch on the thriving local music scene, long-term industry relationships, and the ever-evolving sneaker culture. The episode wraps up with a look at the resale market trends, streetwear dynamics, and a special shoutout to sponsored fingerboarder Chaz.
