    For Music's Sake - Jon Batiste "We Are" Deluxe Album Review
    Apr 12 2026
    "We Are" reviewing (see what we did there lol) the talented and favorable music artist Jon Batiste, or Baptista according to FMS host Sy McClure lol. His "We Are" Deluxe Album has been known to be a some what poppy, soulful, and political moving album according to others, but in true For Music's Sake fashion, will the music, topics and sound stand the test of time? From making a few previous albums before this one, and being in several bands including the a band on TV Series "The Colbert Show", we take a deep dive into this multifaceted musician's views of lyrics and musicianship! Come with us FMS fam!

    Jul 26 2025

    PART 2!

    Soooooooo..... Kyron here. It's been a while! Life be lifin'! God laughs at our plans, don't He :) Oh, but chile, won't He will? Won't HE WILL??? We back in this thang!!! So, low-key this IS an OLD episode, meaning, it was recorded a couple of years ago when we first started the pod. But, it's probably a three-parter. Back in 2023, I sneak-attacked Sy and demanded that he let me interview him. He didn't know we were doing it until a few minutes before recording. :) So, what ended up happening was what always happens, we have a good time and talk Fo'ever!!! Please enjoy Part 2 of me interviewing my Boy!

    For Music's Sake - "School of Roses" by Christon Gray review
    Apr 3 2024

    Ladies and Gentlemen, we liked to introduce our very first guest reviewer Michael "MACB" Bender! It's an exciting time as we move in our purpose to feature guest that give all new perspective on the Timeless album search. Today we look into the triple threat (singer, rapper, producer) Christon Gray's "School of Roses" album to see if early 2014 album of his has the Timeless factor.

    What's good, fam? St. Louis hip-hop is criminally underrated, and the style is hard to nail down. We get into Chingy, Nelly & the St. Lunatics, St. Louis production styles, and more. We pray you listen to this episode while "goin' down, down baby, YO' street in a Range Rover." Or, your Subaru, your Hooptie, or your Honda Accord... Whatever you got, enjoy the episode! :)EPISODE CREDITS Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Kyron Walker and Sy McClure Artwork Design by Sy McClure Original Theme Song and Background Music  by Kyron Walker & Sy McClure (Interpolation of G.K.C.'s Single - Here We Go)  Other Music licensed through Fair Use for critique.
