United Negro Music Appreciation (feat. Steve Epting)

Rhythm & Blues. Gospel. Hip Hop. Rock & Roll. These genres are the soundtrack and backdrop to the black experience. They speak to us, and we speak through them literally and physically as instruments that help us say it loud, we’re black and we're proud. 

 

On this episode of the Jigsaw, Josh and Bryan close out United Negro Music Appreciation month by inviting the multi-talented and hyphenated Steve Epting to the Living Room to discuss his transition from the church choir stand, to arenas performing with icons and legends. Also, he answers the question of if Hip Hop & R&B are dead and if so, how can they be resurrected. 

 

Oh, and someone said that Beyoncé could never measure up to Ashanti. Find out who.
