Episode 1: "The Listening Party" | Real T@lk presents..."Memoirs Of A Modern-Day Griot"

Inspiration/Meaning :  A  griot  (pronounced  gree-oh or gree-ot ) is a   West African  travelling historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet and/or musician. The griot is a keeper of  oral tradition . Real T@lk identifies as a griot; not only is he an artist, but he's African-American. Most African-Americans are descendants of slaves that were originally taken from West Africa, hence... " Memoirs Of A Modern-Day Griot ". This is the first episode of an ongoing documentary that gives a glimpse of a modern-day griot's journey and the individuals that he or she may encounter along the way. Enjoy! #DontSleep

The Tale of Two Smiths By Vocalo Senior Hip Hop Correspondent Gabriel Mendoza (@weekendgabe) A new year brings new change and as the latest NFL Black Monday came and went, a total of 12 Coaches and General Managers found themselves standing when the music stopped. Necessary change, some might say, as all the teams including my Chicago Bears underachieved and failed to live up to lofty sized expectations.  Something had to give.
