My Interview with Shambhala Sun…

I’m currently teaching a retreat at IMS in Barre, Massachusetts. Thought this would be worth reposting…


Shambhala Sun Audio interview: Rapper and musician Born I Music
Washington DC-based rapper and musician Born I Music (aka Born Infinite) is notable not just for his talent but for the way he smartly mixed rap and spirituality during his tenure in the rap duo known as Shambhala.

Now Born has gone solo and is trying new things musically — but his study and practice of Buddhist meditation still informs his work, both in his songs and in his life outside the studio and stage.

Born talked to me about it all, and his new album, Tomorrow is Today, in this new Shambhala Sun Audio clip. Click here to listen.
