Today we have part two of our conversation about the N-Word. We’ll examine the public spaces where the word is most commonly used: Hip Hop and Rap music, and the world of comedy — specifically stand up comedy.

We’ll learn one hip hop artist’s perspective about the word’s origins, and we’ll talk with prominent local comedians about how the word has seemingly taken over the circuit.

To land the show, we’ll hear from Ademola Ekulona, the father of host Khalil Ekulona.

Guests:

  • PE McCallum, aka Pow Shadowz, hip hop artist, author, organizer
  • Mike Floss, hip hop artist, activist
  • Brad Sativa, comedian
  • Elizabeth Burton, Multimedia Producer, This is Nashville
  • Ademola Ekulona, father, organizer, activist, scholar

Featuring:

  • Willie “Big Fella Sims
  • Elizabeth “Easy E” Burton
  • Magnolia “Dolly” McKay
  • Keri “Jr. Mint” Pagetta
