Chris is on a solo mission this week and links up with Chicago's own Philmore Greene! The conversation is rich, and you'd think Chris and Philmore have known each other for years. Philmore deep dives into the making of his new album, The Grand Design, working with Bruiser Wolf, his bond with Rashid Hadee and working with Apollo Brown and why King Von is a great storyteller. The convo gets really real when Chris and Philmore talk about generational trauma and why all Black men should consider accessing therapy. It's deeper than rap, as usual.Connect with Breaking AtomsInstagramFacebookTwitterFollow SumitInstagramTwitterFollow ChrisInstagramTwitter
