"The Ballad of Omar," Rick James and the Times We Are In (Guest: Dapper Dan Midas)

Published on: 11th September, 2021

This week on Queue Points, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray invite prolific musician Dapper Dan Midas (DDm) to join in for a rich chat. In 2020 DDm released his album "The Ballad of Omar," and with the recent sudden passing of Michael K. Williams we explore how the character "Omar" from The Wire has shaped his work. We dive into the new Rick James documentary, and have some Queue Points chat about our current state of the world. You don't want to miss this show.
