Sorry for the audio quality and other glitches. Rather than sitting on this, I just wanted to put this out so that I can keep focused on what else is to come. Celebrating my nearly two decade long appreciation for MF DOOM

My new venture for 2021 (and the immediate future) is a monthly show where I break down my five favorite albums from rap legends. Episode 1 celebrates De La Soul

Two ways to support: Cash App: $fromoldharlem or simply spread word.

Consider this a sequel to The Abstract 50 in celebration of Busta's career and his new album ELE 2

Bonus: I was on a comedic podcast discussing ELE 2 here

Back from a two year hiatus we discuss:

- What we’ve been up to

- Male friends with limited emotional range

- My toxic near threesome from 2019

- The Plenty Of Fish app

- Quitting a new job recently

- Women not being on social media

- Men suffering in silence and burying their pain

- My divorce and a meltdown I had in the winter

- The biggest writing gig of my career to date

- People not understanding creative work vs. typical career paths

- Lupe Fiasco vs. Kendrick Lamar

- Me revealing my role in introducing Desus & Mero

Last year there was a brief moment where every tastemaker, pundit and rap fan listed their top 50. It seemed rushed and haphazard to me, so it took me a while to make sure this was not only fair but respectable. $fromoldharlem if you'd like to support
