We're kicking off the first episode of our Playback series! This one was so exciting and fun to record, and I had to get a guest who knew their music. Who better than someone I met in the YCEO Program for Business in the Streets and who hosts a YouTube channel? I'm so thrilled to have Darryl Simon, a.k.a. The Recovering Elitist, on The Safe Room. His knowledge in music runs deep to him growing up to Motown music and 50s/60s music, something I wasn't expecting at all. For this first Playback episode, I had to pull out all the good topics, which is why this conversation was everything I was hoping for. Entertaining, real, and informative. We talk about Kanye West's recent actions of the "White Lives Matter" t-shirt, and where his actions define his legacy in music? Also, we have a conversation around R&B and whether it has died, well, according to Diddy of course. Darryl and I clearly know that Diddy's take was ridiculous, and I couldn't say it better than Darryl himself, but to PACK IT UP!
