Celebrate Black Music Month with James Mtume & Questlove
From Questlove: Back in 2017, Questlove Supreme (QLS) sat down with James Mtume for a special two-part conversation about life, music, and everything in between.
James, who remained a friend of the show, passed in early 2022. As we celebrate Black Music Month by highlighting an episode per day, this one is especially important. It’s a look back at a legend, a visionary, and a friend.
