New SUNDAY REVIEW 📝
Read my deep dive into Guy's classic debut album from 1988 and the birth of new jack swing ➡️ pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
Congratulations to Jeff and Eric on the launch of @theblogera!
I just listened to the first two episodes, and it really took me back. Such an important story, and I’m so happy that it’s finally being told.
Please listen…you might even hear my voice pop up in episode 2 🤓
We spent the last three years researching, reporting and recording our biggest project to date, @theblogera
We spoke with 150 people and accumulated 500 hours of original audio.
Episodes 1 & 2 of this ten-part series are available now!

This question just came back to light bc of Rock The Bells asking about what artists have recorded with Pac, Biggie, and Eazy, outside of Bone. (They said Treach is the answer).
I didn’t realize it was Stevie J, but I def never ever thought it was actually Roger on it.

My dad’s memoir is out today! My sister and I wrote something about the experience of helping him sift through his life and finish this story.

This was a good essay, with a lot of laying the land and just enough judgment and opinion. Two things I wanna note about Guythat are related but singular in a way that would be too trivial to isolate in this essay BUT I LOVE ANYWAY...first, Piece of My Love...

Another crucial piece from my research was Teddy Riley’s interview with @chairmanmaonyc for RBMA. Lots of great info about Teddy’s creative process and history: youtu.be/u_ZoJ6lkKAE
