After venting a little about for his want to help change the world and make mediation trendy, he went on to discuss global warming.
The conversation then spanned into discussing the “N-Word,” which he revealed YG, Kendrick Lamar, and Macklemore among others are some of the artists he’s currently listening to. Charlamagne asked Russell if he was still following Def Jam, and cited he’s currently listening to YG’s street-anthem “My Nigga,” and plans to launch a new series on his All Def Digital imprint with Steve Rifkind and Brian Robbins. Along with revealing future plans for a new fashion line to coincide with his YouTube project, the concept of “New Slaves” was brought up.
