Naa Sheka on Building One Love — plus Spy vs Spy in Three Months

Naa Sheka of One Love Retail & Fashion takes the first half. Ghanaian fabrics and Adinkra symbols, launching the brand at 25, two Vancouver Canucks jersey collaborations, and She Got Shea. She explains what her name means, what the racist comments under the Canucks post were actually about, and gives the most direct advice on this show so far for young entrepreneurs: ignore the critics, and start. The second half is K-Ski and Kavawon on their own material. Trusting your engineer and catching lightning in a bottle, music as a team sport versus an ego-driven track meet, the complementary duos that lasted and the groups that split. Kavawon explains Spy vs Spy — eighteen songs in three months, made largely out of spite — and the Pudfluff battle track he gave away every copy of. It closes somewhere heavier: passing out at reflexology, diabetes, pharma money, Dr. Sebi, and cures that never seem to arrive.
