In this episode of "Sober, Not Sober," Grant and Mekaylay dive deep into the wild, complicated legacy of the Godfather of Soul—James Brown. From his humble beginnings in Augusta, Georgia, to his rise as one of the most influential (and sampled) artists in music history, the crew unpacks the highs, the lows, and the downright bizarre moments that defined Brown’s life. Expect candid banter, hilarious personal stories, and a no-holds-barred look at separating the art from the artist. Plus, the hosts share behind-the-scenes podcast upgrades, shout out loyal listeners, and tease what’s coming next. Whether you’re a funk fan or just here for the riffs, this episode is packed with music history, hot takes, and the signature Sober, Not Sober energy.
