Yesterday evening, Tibs, Monster, and I checked out the Kristol Blake Salon & Spa in downtown Chicago, which was the venue for our latest interview with none other than the lovely Chrisette Michele. This will be a busy November for Chrisette M. as she just dropped a free mixtape (brought back above) with her brother Lem Payne called Love Thy Brother and she has her upcoming album, Let Freedom Reign, on the way November 30th. Tibs first found out her intentions with the mixtape (that has both literal and metaphorical meanings) and then asked about what will be different in the upcoming album. Chrisette hinted at the themes of the album as a whole, which if you are familiar with Michele’s work, will be positive and thought-provoking.

I really appreciated how Chrisette answered the next two questions about where the title Let Freedom Reign came from and what sort of message we can expect on the title track, featuring Talib Kweli & Black Thought! She dropped some dope stories, deep thoughts, and new information for us to hear only inspiring my further interest in the song and the upcoming album Let Freedom Reign. Shout out to the good people at Kristol Blake, NuFace Entertainment, and World Wide Waddie for a good time. Enjoy!
