Open Conversation with Malik is back with EPISODE 7: Straight Outta Brooklyn Feat. Stephen Benjamin. 

On episode 7 I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Author Stephen Benjamin, a guy I met during my time in the military. In the beginning on this episode we discussed our time in the military and how live was during those times as young soldiers. This led into us talking about hip-hop music and who our Top 5 rappers, this would then lead into Stephen bringing up my career as a rapper as he began reciting some of my old lyrics. 

From there we move into what Stephen was here for and that is his book series titled “Urban Tales” a self published adult non-fiction novel series based on life events.  This novel series is edgy and filled with drama, chaos, heartbreak, love, lust, desires, hope and happiness....A must read piece of genius.
