The brothers in Prince Be & DJ Minutemix that make up the duo P.M Dawn have been - in hindsight - a marketing casualty. They forever hold the record of being the first African American Hip-Hop act to get No.1 on Billboard. But whilst that track & their debut album traffic in a Hip-Hop fusion, their works after that lean much more into R&B, creating a discography built on fluidity, deep lyrics and unfortunately, an American audience that probably never understood them.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:48)Ben:Curren$y - 8/30Charlie:Yeza & Rorystonelove - Star Of The EastBraxton Cook - Not Everyone Can GoAmaarae - BLACK STARRich Brian - WHERE IS MY HEAD?Robert Glasper - Code Derivation Shing02 - 抒情詩歌/JOJOSHIKAD Smoke - Wake Up SupaRuby Francis - Pages of PhilosophyRakim - The RE-UP Nova Twins - Parasites & Butterflies Chip Wickham - The Eternal NowEl Michels Affair - 24 Hr SportsCurren$y - 8/30Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (14:37)Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience - (20:18)The Bliss Album...? - (31:39)Jesus Wept - (40:34)Dearest Christian, I'm So Very Sorry for Bringing You Here.
