Above A Ball Ft. Akeem Ali

This week on Pour Minds, Lex P and Drea Nicole are sitting down with rapper, singer, andsongwriter Akeem Ali, and from the second he steps into the room, the energy instantly turnsinto pure, top-tier comedy. Akeem keeps it 100 on the harsh realities of independent touring,why slow ticket sales will make an artist rethink their whole strategy, and the very specific (andhilarious) target audience he relies on to keep his shows packed.

Things get nostalgic as Akeem takes the ladies on a hilarious trip down memory lane, openingup about his alter ego, his high school days, and the unexpected setbacks that shaped hishustle. The crew doesn't hesitate to press him on toxic relationship dynamics, either—debatingwhether men ever truly regret losing a good woman. Akeem stands on business with his "factsover feelings" philosophy, insisting nobody is irreplaceable, while Lex and Drea call out the wilddelusion men fall back on when they miss out on a real one.And, of course, things get completely out of hand when they tackle an "expert" claim that menshould bring a woman to climax twice before penetration. Between whole-house inspectionanalogies, "carpet rug burn" arguments, and hilarious audience advice, the room devolves intopure chaos.

Pour up and get ready, because before you start inspecting the "back of the house," youdefinitely need a drink in your hand for this one!
