Ep. 7: Quarter Water TV

When my cousin Terrell and his rap group Consequence strutted onto the local music scene in the late '90s, they didn't just drop beats—they spun narratives that captivated our block and beyond. Join me and the effervescent Miss Cola as we sit down with Terrell and peel back the layers of those heady days, uncovering the raw emotions behind their rise and the sobering realities that eventually led to their disbandment. Through laughter and nostalgia, we paint a vivid picture of a time when music videos were cultural milestones and dreams of hip-hop glory were as tangible as the mics they dropped.
Stepping offstage, we turn to the less glamorous, more harrowing tales from the streets that many call home. The stark evolution of street codes, the heavy toll of a life entwined with drug dealing, and the complex web of community and gang relationships in the Bronx come under our scrutiny, as we reflect on the dark allure and the potential for redemption. Then, lightening the mood, we dive into the quirky world of Quarter Water TV and spar over 'Would You Rather' scenarios that will have you questioning just how far you'd go for a laugh—or to avoid a cringe. It's an episode that stitches together the profound with the profoundly absurd, keeping you hooked from the heartfelt to the hilarious.
