The year is 2001. Picture two young Black boys, discussing the future of Soul music in the middle of Drama class, when terms like ‘Neo-soul’ were less incendiary, and more genre-defining. 20 years later, my homie, Qualun Cooper, and I chronicle his musical journey, laugh about “the good ol’ days,” and discuss obstacles we share, while we shade niggas we don’t fuk wit. Were you #TeamErykah Or #TeamMusiq?
