Guest Speaker Ep. 107: Najee Janey

On Episode 107 of the Guest Speaker Series, we welcome one of Boston’s most prolific artists: rapper, singer, songwriter, poet, & performer, Najee Janey. With his upbringing consisting of influences from his musically gifted Dad, and Grandmother who is a published poet, Najee seemed destined to be the kind of artist he has become. Najee talks in-depth about his latest EP ‘Break Free’, a body of work that instills a refined version of the poetically jazzy sound he’s coined for himself over the years, combined with a few new genres he dabbles in. He also discusses his reasoning as to why the project is exclusively available on Even.Biz instead of streaming platforms in an effort to take back full ownership of his art as an independent artist, while putting the power of its worth in the hands of his fans & supporters. Mike & Najee also discuss a variety of topics, ranging from his appearance on the CBS Morning Show in Boston, to performing on the biggest of stages like Boston Calling & GLD Fest, to how sports and music are more alike than you’d think. He also shares a number of historical facts that will blow your mind, including how old the oldest mummy in the world REALLY is, his Mount Rushmore of most impactful individuals in human history, which ancient civilizations need more attention, and the oldest forest in the world is actually located somewhere in the United States (in a state you’d least expect it).
