We catch up on some of Zach's other projects, like the music video "Descendants" for Fire in Little Africa, and discuss proper etiquette for requesting commission work (there really isn't any, just be cool.)

To learn more about Tony and his music, visithttps://www.tfjbrand.comhttps://www.instagram.com/tonyfosterjrhttps://www.facebook.com/iamtfjTony Foster Jr. is more than a vibe.Though his virtuosic voice is certainly suited to effervescent serenades, it is the purpose in his poetry that elevates the experience. Aiming to inspire, he presents passages of positivity and power within sugar-sweet songs of solace for the soul.With over 20 years in the music industry, the Oklahoma City-based R&B/Hip-Hop singer-songwriter is a pro among pros. From behind-the-scenes songwriting credits to spotlight appearances on the international stage, he has channeled his wealth of experience into a strong and keen artistic methodology. Richly layered vocal harmonies and robust music production characterize his attention to detail. His music is not merely smooth. It's polished.Incredibly, TFJ has kept his spark ignited all the while. His deep-rooted spirituality comes through in charismatic performances that gracefully rise against oppression, whether in terms of sociopolitical strife or internal trials within the self--or both. With an audience, he transforms positivity into action by creating a space for sincere, cathartic entertainment. As OkSessions put it, "When you see Tony Foster Jr. live, it is both an opportunity to be moved by beautiful soulful music and a guaranteed dance party."This spark can be felt in TFJ's 2018 live album, Long Story Short, but one can also sense it in his studio recordings. During the tumultuous year of 2020, he delivered a one-two punch with projects Kaleidoscope and Right on Time, the latter of which was a joint release with frequent collaborator Sid Carter. While the world was going through a major transformation, Foster was, too. In the aftermath of personal life changes, he held tight to music to pull himself into the next stage of his career with an introspective solo record (Kaleidoscope), then doubled down with a confident step forward into a new wave of R&B/Hip-Hop bliss (Right on Time). Both projects prominently find strength in faith.Over the years, TFJ has seen plenty of big opportunities, but few have proven as dear to him as the ability to engage with his local scene. Of late, he has come into his own as a prominent Oklahoma artivist, using his platform to stir conversation and bolster cultural movements in marginalized communities. Whether he's having a one-on-one dialogue or participating in big projects like Tulsa's enormous Black Wall Street hip-hop collaboration, Fire in Little Africa, TFJ uses his studied ear to listen and his gifted voice to uplift. Tony Foster Jr. is more than a vibe, but that's not to discount the vibe itself. When modern discourse is intense and polarized, there is a desperate need for sensitivity, and Foster provides that. His music is comfort food with a purpose, inviting all to break bread at the dinner table for a feel-good today and a more equitable tomorrow.

"Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon I first analyze a sermon titled, “Tulsa's Race Riot and the Teachings of Jesus,” by Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, preached on the Sunday after the massacre. Rephrasing my key question for this analysis, How did Mouzon respond to the massacre? How did Mouzon, a White Christian preacher, appeal to theology and scripture to justify racist actions or uphold white supremacy? Appealing directly to theology without specific biblical reference, Mouzon downplays White racial prejudice in Tulsa. Mouzon condemns the KKK, but he clearly states racial equality will never be realized. Quoting Bishop E.E. Hoss, Mouzon says, “God Almighty has drawn the color line in indelible ink.”[7] He then insists on separate (but not equal) dwellings, hotels, schools, and churches in Tulsa and points to the social failures of race mixing in Brazil. Scripturally, Mouzon loosely uses Jesus' language about “a city set on a hill” as exposing lawlessness. “‘Little Africa' was almost without law. No effort had been made to enforce the rule of law,” Mouzon says, separating the “fine citizens” of Tulsa from the lawless Blacks who incited the riot and lawless Whites who burned “Little Africa.”[8] How does Mouzon call the church to account for racist ideas, policies, and actions? Mouzon calls White Christians to take responsibility only for the disgrace of permitting lawless men to make our city immoral and unsafe. “Let us repent of our sins and resolve to make this fair city safe for men and women to live in.”[9] Though Mouzon speaks of Black people being saved in eternity, his overall rhetoric betrays any interpretation of “men and women” to include Black people. Dripping with ethos, the sermon includes no compassionate pathos for Black people. On the Sunday after ten thousand Black people became homeless because of White mob actions, one of Mouzon's suggestions for a better future was that White preachers and godly White women must teach Black “creatures” better behavior."

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

This is part 2 of a conversation on Coronavirus related rants we've been engaging in lately. This part is mostly involving a report online (who knows how much if any is accurate, but we pretty much believe it) that said Africans in southern China's largest city say they have become targets of suspicion and subjected to forced evictions, arbitrary quarantines and mass COVID-19 testing as the country steps up its fight against imported infections. That was pretty much all we knew and decided to record our first impressions and thoughts.
