MESSIAH!: Transceding Time
Welcome to the first episode of the Silk Magazine podcast! In this series, we will be sitting down with Black artists for long-form, intimate interviews that explore the relationships between artists’ lives, their art, and the world at large. We hope these conversations will give listeners an authentic look into who these musicians are as people, which we feel is important in a journalistic landscape that often misrepresents and dehumanizes Black artists. For this first episode, staff writer Tyler Burston sat down with Charlotte rapper MESSIAH!, fresh off the release of his latest single “Bout Mine” and the project “ALL4LOVE” with producer Por Vida, out on Soundcloud now and coming to streaming soon. Our conversation explored a range of topics, including the way Black music transcends time, the pleasures and anxieties of travel, and the transformative effect rap can have on our lives. We were honored to sit down with MESSIAH! for our inaugural episode and hope you enjoy the first of many conversations we’ll be having on this platform.
