Veteran DG the Mob Members Peezy Mercury and Aniekan Nelson join forces to deliver Peezy Mercury's long awaited solo-mixtape debut aptly titled, G¡u$$eppe.  It's a classic coming of age tale narrating the trials & tribulations a young houstonian faced doing what *felt* like it was necessary as he pursued every young Angolan-African-American man's ultimate dream, affording his first pair of designer sneakers...giuseppe zanotti's to be exact, all whilst having to find balance between a normal life and a life of...ambition, so to speak.

June is Black Music Month and as a special treat, "The Sidebar by NYABJ" is releasing not one, but two extended episodes featuring those who have made their impact on Black music. 

To start, The Sidebar's SONJA D. GRACY has an intensive interview with music management veteran MATTHEW KNOWLES (1:02). While many know him as the father of acclaimed singers Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Solange Knowles and his work managing Destiny's Child, Gracy goes in-depth with Knowles' other as impactful milestones, which include being the founder of Music World Entertainment amongst other music and entertainment business ventures and as a visiting professor teaching courses on the entertainment industry at a number of colleges and universities.

In addition, The Sidebar's LISA DURDEN hosts a candid conversation with the multi-talented, platinum-selling artist SYLEENA JOHNSON (50:20). In an interview that will no doubt leave you inspired, Johnson opens up about her evolution as a singer, songwriter, TV host, wellness advocate, and film producer, and provides insight about owning your artistry, navigating industry challenges, and staying grounded in your purpose. She also shares encouraging words for rising artists and gives insider tips on longevity in the business.
