A word of caution I’ve learned over many years that you cannot provide someone the skillset of being able to drive once they have fallen in love with being chauffeured.
Your “gift” of independence and empowerment will be received as additional “labour” and “responsibility”

I’ve never been to Congo.
My French isn’t the best. I understand Lingala far better than I speak it.
So listening to Tiakola’s WpointM felt weirdly personal.
Two Congolese kids from the diaspora, him raised in France, me raised in London, both carrying a country in ways that don’t always look traditional.
Then add my cousin Gaetan executive producing the album and my friend Zaza at Sony being part of the project too. Yeah, this one is close to home.
Not really an album review.
More of a love letter to Congo, diaspora, language, family and the strange feeling of knowing exactly where you’re from, even when you’ve never been there.
New Substack.

Undiagnosed ADHD symptom nobody talks about: Reading an entire page of a book or article, getting to the very bottom, and realizing you didn't process a single word because your internal voice was busy running a completely unrelated, full length monologue in the background the entire time.

“Superstar” by the old definition? On the level of a JAY-Z or Eminem?
No one, ever again. That era is over.
How we consume music and media today makes that achievement impossible, not to mention the lack of investment necessary to fuel that rise and maintain that standing.

Loooool I think I actually really dislike the “pseudo Middle Class” that do things like this.
Upper Class people don’t even behave like this because the one thing they’re not gonna be is insecure about their spending habits.

Really sad but I’ve known this for years and been saying it for years that the creative industries and my DIY career has unfortunately had more of an impact on my ability to earn than my uni degree.
I predict that entrepreneurial spirit will become a mega trend in the next gen
A degree was once seen as a passport to a better future, but one in six students now view it as a "visa" that gets them to the application process but no further.
