Questlove Supreme celebrates Black History year round. Travel back to 2022, when singer Millie Jackson was joined by her daughter and fellow songstress Keisha Jackson for an Atlanta taping of QLS. In Part One, Millie Jackson spoke about writing and producing provocative and popular songs that were decades ahead of their time. Millie recalled checking Aretha Franklin, performing her Grammy-nominated hit, and making a profound song that confused and upset Gospel audiences. She sang too. Just like Millie Jackson, this QLS is bold, raw, and honest.

Flea joins Questlove in-studio to discuss his debut trumpet album Honora, the long road back to his first musical love, and the rituals that ground his creativity and daily life. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee unpacks the evolution of his artistry—from a Jazz-obsessed kid in upstate New York to a genre-curious fixture in the L.A. scene to a cornerstone of the Red Hot Chili Peppers—and how prayer, reading, stretching, and strict boundaries with technology shape his days.

Flea also opens up about assembling the Honora band with Josh Johnson and Jeff Parker, his collaborations with Thom Yorke, his relationship with his wife Mel, and why intention and personal integrity matter more to him than chops or genre. This episode of the Questlove Show flows with deep musical nerdery and raw honesty about what it really takes to keep growing as an artist and a human being.
