About this listen

Before they were fathers, they were men with dreams, flaws, stories—and soundtracks.

In this powerful and personal episode, host Ashley Autumn sits down with Otis Carter IV (co-founder of 200 Man Stand) and Malcolm Carthledge (filmmaker & Greenwood Studios co-founder) to talk about fatherhood, legacy, music, and the lessons that shaped them along the way.

From Ice Cube and Get Rich or Die Tryin’ to Dom Kennedy, Boosie, College Dropout, and jazz greats like Ellis Marsalis, they unpack what music taught them about manhood, identity, and showing up for their sons.

They discuss:

🎶 The songs that shaped their younger selves

👨🏾‍👦 How fatherhood changed the way they hear music

🧠 Generational healing & the pressure to be “the big dog”

💬 The myth of the absent Black father

✨ Why raising a son is hard—but fun as hell

Whether you’re a dad, a son, or just someone trying to break cycles and build legacy, this episode will make you laugh, reflect, and turn up your speakers.
