Blackliq discussion & drawing with ArtByTai on DOD45 (S2 Ep19)

On this episode of DOD45 Tai & Adrienne chat with rhymer, rapper, writer, radio dj, teacher, TEDTalks presenter & all around knowledgeable & inspiring cat Blackliq. They discuss Blackliq's album "Time is the Price", his signing with Strange Famous Records, living in Richmond, VA, growing up living out of a hotel, Nicolas Cage, Method Man & Redman, Slug, Aesop Rock, taking stock during near-death experiences, his inspirations & how some of those inspirations led to his #FionaApple & his #DevilsAdvocate inspired albums, my Russian “auxiliary insight”, a handful of my #SophiesChoice questions & so so so much more. Blackliq speaks from the heart & with the mind. There're two hours to devour, so be sure you can digest. We hope you’ll experience it in one sitting, but if it’s too much knowledge for your head all at once, take it in chunks. Whichever route you choose, just don’t skip it.   Sophie's Choice questions from this episode include: Prolyphic or Mopes? Busdriver or Busta Rhymes? Bone Thugs or Young Thug? Raekwon or Ray Charles?
