Notable Quotes On closing gaps:“People are too comfortable wasting the time of Black entrepreneurs with misaligned resources and low vibrational mentorship.” On persistence:“If it doesn’t work on you in that moment, it works for you in that moment. Either way, it works.” On Pharrell’s vision:“Talent is not equally distributed by zip code, but opportunity can be.” On entrepreneurship mindset:“We have to start enjoying the process that molds us, not just say, ‘I didn’t make it, I’m upset.’” On Black women entrepreneurs:“They’re the fastest growing, but largely solopreneurs. We need them to think about building teams.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Clipse was formed in 1994 by two brothers: Gene Thornton Jr, aka Malice, and his younger brother Terrence Thornton, aka Pusha T. From the beginning, they've worked with producer Pharrell Williams, originally as part of the acclaimed production duo, The Neptunes. But then, there was a 16 year gap between the third Clipse album, which came out in 2009, and their most recent album, Let God Sort Em Out, which came out in July 2025. This November, they were nominated for 5 Grammys, including Album of the Year. They were also nominated for Best Rap Song, for “The Birds Don't Sing.” It's a song that they made after the death of both of their parents in the span of just a few months. For this episode, I asked Pusha T, Malice, and Pharrell about the making of that song, which also features contributions from John Legend and Stevie Wonder.

Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks,” the podcast that turns melodies into medicine for the soul.In today's episode host James Cox sits down with Jastin Artis—a gold‑and‑platinum‑streamed indie producer, songwriter, A&R mentor, and relentless “chronic‑health warrior.” From the origins of his unusual middle name—Jastin, a blend of his parents' names, and Artist, a tribute to a grandfather he never met—to his journey from a class‑room clarinet player to a guitar‑driven “hip‑hop Renaissance” creator, Justin shares the stories that have shaped his sound.We'll dive deep into his creative process, exploring how a simple keyboard chord evolves into the layered instrumentals of Love in Darkness and the genre‑bending anthem “Tag This.” Jastin reveals the challenges of living with fibromyalgia, insomnia and low testosterone, and how music, meditation, video games, and even Netflix binge‑watching become his lifelines when depression looms.The conversation also touches on:The power of naming and identity in an artis' career.The mastermind collaborations he'd love to see—Pharrell, Jimi Hendrix, and a female legend like Queen Latifah or Alanis Morissette.The songs that move him to the brink of tears—Lauryn Hill's MTV Unplugged performance and John Mayer's “Gravity.”A glimpse of his future merch empire (stickers, throw‑pillows, beach towels) and his relentless drive to turn streams into tangible support for creators.If you've ever felt the weight of chronic illness, the sting of creative doubt, or simply crave a soundtrack for resilience, this episode is your reminder that when words stumble, music never does. Grab your headphones, press play, and let Jastin's story inspire the next stanza of your own journey.As always.....when words fail...music speaks!
