In season 2 episode 11, the “Our Voice” podcast welcomes Beanie Sigel - Hip Hop recording artist, actor, community activist and returning citizen (formerly convicted person). Hosts Desmond Meade and Neil Volz take the audience on a journey through the life of the former Roc-A-Fella star. The conversation begins with Beanie opening up about his difficult childhood, surrounded by drug dealers and gang members on the South Side of Philadelphia. He then shares how that environment eventually led him to being locked up at 9 years old. We then get to hear about his meteoric rise to international fame, his eventual imprisonment and unlikely second act as a community activist working to end gun-violence.
