Room 213: Apocalyptic, Rowdy, & Manic Garage Rock

I took out my phone to check the clock at least seven times. I triple-checked my notes and questions and waited patiently in a Music & Arts music store, where I typically work throughout the day.

Baby Keem: Bars in the Bloodline

When Kendrick Lamar told us, “I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA,” most of us assumed he was talking about Black people having rich African roots.  It served as an anthem for quite some time, and  a part of his Pulitzer Prize winning album - garnering high praise from the masses.
