ABOUT mb

I study culture the way some people study systems.

My work sits between disciplines: storytelling, journalism, hip hop history, and creative strategy.

I’m interested in how ideas form, how movements take shape, and how creative work becomes cultural memory.

I write publicly to think clearly.

Writing is not promotion for me — it’s the method.

Essays allow me to slow time down, examine patterns, and document moments that would otherwise pass without record.

Over time, certain lines of inquiry harden into artifacts: books, films, musical work, and archival projects.

These aren’t separate from the writing; they’re extensions of it.

This site exists to hold that process in one place — the thinking, the context, and the work it produces.
