This segment from the Questlove Show was so powerful, we had to share it on its own.

Georgia Anne Muldrow breaks down the deeply personal origins of her “Stay Woke” lyric from Erykah Badu’s “Master Teacher Medley" over 18 years ago, and reflects on how its meaning has evolved—and been distorted—over time.

Questlove and special guest Open Mike Eagle share their reactions to her story. Please make sure you've heard the nearly two hour conversation between Georgia and Ahmir that published earlier this week.

Georgia Anne Muldrow has been making incredible music for over 20 years. The Grammy-nominated artist is kaleidoscopic in genre and style, telling Questlove that she experiences music through synesthesia. In this expansive two-hour conversation, Georgia reflects on the Jazz legends who shaped her upbringing, the influence of voices like X-Clan and Assata Shakur in guiding her toward a path of liberation, and the joy of life itself. She also shares how a night in Brooklyn nearly 20 years ago ultimately led to her latest album, Electrical Field of Love, created alongside the band Harriet Tubman. The longest conversation Georgia and Quest have ever had unfolds into a beautiful, free-form exploration of life, music, and the true courage behind artistry.

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.
