One thing I miss about my last job is how many black people I saw and worked with every day. The training classes here are small, but I’m the only black man in my class and there’s one other black person aside from my trainer in my class

I put Voodoo up there as one of the greatest R&B albums in the 21st Century.

It’s fabulous how well that album has aged. Then coming back with the Black Messiah almost 15 years later. We lost a timeless artist, man.
