Raheem DeVaughn joins Questlove to trace his journey from a Washington DC Go-Go kid to internationally known “Love King,” radio host, and independent R&B force. He breaks down the spiritual meaning of love, the art of the perfect slow-jam mixtape, and how Go-Go culture shaped his sound and hustle (including his current band). Raheem also tells stories about his father touring with Stevie Wonder, remaking a full, soon to release Marvin Gaye album with Kenny Dope, and building his career from Black Lily open mics to a Jive Records deal and beyond. He also explains how he inherited The Quiet Storm radio show, why direct-to-consumer is changing the game, and what it really takes to survive as an indie artist in today’s music industry.

Questlove welcomes bestselling author Brianna Wiest (The Mountain Is You, 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think) for a vulnerable, funny, and wide‑ranging conversation about self‑sabotage, creativity, and learning to “just show up.” Brianna explains how she writes from her center, why nature and long drives unlock her best ideas, and how she separates the heart’s “what” from the mind’s “how.” Questlove shares how her work helped him see himself (and his obstacles) differently. Along the way, Brianna opens up about her childhood, her taste in music, and even making wedding cakes. This episode is a warm, insightful exploration of growth, bravery, and redefining success in the second act of life.
