A ROLE BEN VEREEN WAS BORN TO PLAY
Fetch Clay, Make Man has been up and running now for two weeks, and I’m just now starting to reflect-although the full vibe of what’s happened and what’s to come for the piece won’t be known until after we close.

South Africa
The trip to South Africa was one of the most incredible experiences of my professional and personal life to be sure. I was on a U.S. State Department sponsored, barnstorming 12 day/4 city tour-first to Johannesburg, then Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban.

OLD SCHOOL RAPPER: You Can’t FOOL!
This is the third episode of the series being released by 24/7townhall.org. We filmed the first two episodes in L.A., and this one was shot in my place of origin-The Fillmore District in San Francisco. The producer of the series, my ace boon Mohammad Bilal, wanted to film these in the old neighborhood, to give [...]
