"Negrow Disco was more of an ode to people, the queer Black and brown folks that started disco. Soul Bounce was kind of more of me coming and establishing my sound / genre. And BANBA is just people getting to know me more." South Side rapper Ric Wilson joined SSW's Olivia Obineme and Chris Good in studio to talk about everything from the new EP BANBA to modeling to prison abolition.
