The Wakanda Social Club presents — Black Guys in a Box.

Episode 2 has slowly rolled round but, at last, it’s here and ready for your ears!

*DISCLAIMER* We did this one over Skype and we have some audio issues in places but none the less, this one is still a riveting listen.

Nate can’t be with us this time but we still manage to digest the reaction to Dom’s reality slapping and honest essay ‘Grandma’s Rules’ which tells us of a sweet night out gone sour (07:30).

The untimely passing of Nipsey Hussle opens up a dialogue around digital detox (37:01), Dr Sebi (48:54) and the relationship between black communities and conspiracy theories (50:00) before discussing the harsh realities of having to cut friends who refuse to wake up and address their racially insensitive bullshit (01:04:30).

And as per usual, we close with our regular feature — “What song would you _____ to?” (01:20:57) — this time it’s “What song would you glide passed a bouncer to after they initially denied you entry but then you get let in!”
