Bonus Episode 2

We couldn't help it!  Ice Cube's Contract with Black America made us do it!

This week is another break from the normal CPT conversation as Ken and Dee discuss the various nuances embedded in the global response to Ice Cube's 13-point contract. This emotional conversation also reflects what happens when the record button stays on and the fellas just lay it all out.

When we drop bonus episodes, we also like to highlight musical artists from the Soundstripe platform. In the spotlight for this episode is grammy award winner, Sam Barsh.  As a songwriter, producer, and keyboardist whose work has been awarded 3 GRAMMY awards and 11 Gold and Platinum certifications, Sam has written and/or produced over 175 commercially released songs and appeared on over 100 recordings to date, including 3 #1 albums on the Billboard 200.

His work as a songwriter and keyboardist on Kendrick Lamar’s Platinum-certified album “To Pimp A Butterfly” has won 3 GRAMMY Awards and a nomination for Album of the Year. Barsh’s work on Anderson .Paak’s groundbreaking album “Malibu,” BJ the Chicago Kid’s “In My Mind” and Ledisi’s “Let Love Rule” has garnered an additional 3 Grammy Nominations.
