Audio version is amazing! Love the idea that fiction can act as a sort of veil through which the author can give you an intimate view of how they see the world.

Mmm. Love the exploration of the confession and its larger role in society. Also can’t wait to listen to BEEF!!

Thought provoking! Rappers stepping into recording booth confessionals and dropping tracks as acts of penance. Arenas full arenas of fans reciting lyrics granting absolution... wild

Thanks for sharing this. Fascinating to think of confessions in art as a way of not only moving through an emotion but making audiences complicit.

Powerful commentary on the connection between literature and hip hop in relation to self-reflection. Love the reference to Joe Budden. Before he was a podcaster, his best reflection was always about himself.
