Poet and Rapper, Wonder Brown’s compelling and vulnerable story-telling about his journey of discovering himself and his love for words is full of so many fascinating ups and downs that will surely aid any creative person in their pursuit to grow and get better. We discuss his struggles of abuse in a young marriage, finding escape in rap music after an upbringing that left him feeling unsafe and struggling for connection, finding his connection through words and poetry… and all the ups and downs that came along even after that. Not to mention what should be obvious to everyone at this point: That Kendrick Lamar is a much better role model and more thoughtful artist than Ye. We all already knew that a long time ago I hope. Right?
Don’t be afraid or dissuaded by the runtime on this episode! We’re building the anti-Joe Rogan Experience over here on Get Better. We’re exploring the idea of men getting vulnerable and nuanced in long form recorded conversation in a way that reconstructs healthy masculinity instead of turning young men into uninformed, arrogant, self-righteous reactionaries. At least I hope thats what comes across. Anyway, share this with your brother, your boyfriend, your nephew, your dad, or whoever.
