Raphael Saadiq Blackademics Interview

This month's interview is with artistic genius Raphael Saadiq, who was in Durham performing alongside John Legend this week. I joined him after the show for a night of drinks, club hopping and salsa dancing in the Bull City. This interview takes place at about 2:30 am in my car, so please excuse the poor lighting. We talk about his music, Grammy nominations and Motown role models.

Mmmm Raphael Raphael Raphael...it's not even his fineness alone, it's his work ethic, his history, his take on music (how deep he digs), the fact that he plays the sexiest instrument ever (ELECTRIC BASS!) that drives me crazy about him.

Raphael, please come back to the Twin Cities...we need good music again!!
