In Episode 17 of Digital Detox, Buying Back the Block, Matt Violinist is joined by DJ Stallion and special guest DJ Spynfo for a powerful, thought provoking conversation that goes far beyond music.
This episode dives into the origins of Sankofa House, how the idea was born, the purpose behind it, and the responsibility that comes with building spaces rooted in culture, healing, and community. DJ Spynfo breaks down the journey from concept to reality, shedding light on the intention, resistance, and faith required to bring Sankofa House to life.
The conversation explores the role of psychedelics as medicine, their historical and spiritual significance, and how they’ve played a part in personal growth, healing, and the foundation of Sankofa House. From mental health to self reflection, the discussion is honest, nuanced, and grounded in lived experience without sensationalism.
Beyond that, the episode confronts bigger questions around Black identity, collective trauma, ownership, and the work that still needs to be done. What does it truly mean to buy back the block? How do we correct our path? And what practical steps must be taken to build something sustainable for future generations?
As always, this isn’t surface level talk. Expect deep insight, moments of humor, uncomfortable truths, and reflections that challenge how we think about culture, healing, and progress.
If you’re interested in community building, wellness, Black ownership, or simply real conversations that aren’t afraid to go there, this episode is for you.
