I’m so excited to welcome one of my favorite people to the podcast! She’s my mini-me and she’s a beautiful thinker. I hope you enjoy my niece, @Jalla.K and I as she reflects on her first visit to our homeland, Sierra Leone, West Africa. Growing up in the US, Jalla K’s first trip to her homeland was filled with a variety of emotions, and for sure, expanded her perspective on life as a Diasporan of Sierra Leone. Tap in for the conversation.

AT-alien. 1/2 of one of the greatest rap duos in history… Outkast. André Three Staks. Beautiful Black Renaissance Man.

Lekan, a first-generation Nigerian-American R&B singer/songwriter/musician from Columbus, Ohio, brings something new. While his towering presence dominates the stage, his silken baritone sings a message—one full of feeling and love. His soothing, inviting music is rooted in Classic R&B, while also dipping into other eras and genres—weaving soul, pop, and trap together to create his unique, timeless sound. Lekan, who names Frank Ocean, D’Angelo, and Brandy as influences, takes listeners on an exploration of love, infatuation, sex, heartache, and inspiration that is inherently healing in its vulnerability. His raw, infectious lyrics are designed to invoke a range of emotions—utterly relatable in feeling but refreshingly original in delivery.
