KEVIN SLOCUM “KONSCIOUS”
Like all of us, Kevin has been on quite the journey. The birth of “Konscious” hip-hop music arose out of a necessity to process his viewpoints and feelings, serving to heal himself and eventually inspire change in others through a positive, uplifting message of self realization. His hypnotic delivery helps to unravel the mind, creating a space to receive a transmission of light. His gift of explanation comes through in his lyrics, creating a unique style of hip hop designed to awaken the spirit.

Life Changes Show
Come and join the conversation about what's going on and what we can do together about it, with it, and for it. We have the choice, we have the power. We can do magic if we just believe!
A show about the changes going on in us, to us, around us, and because of us. Therefore, it's technically a show about "Everything," only with a how to make it better, see it better, be better.
In the show, there is talk about, and with, people who have either been through major changes, are helping others with major changes, or people who are changing the world for the better in a major way.
The show is a one-hour talk show format with a monologue by the host, a 30 minute interview with a guest of note, capped by a "Producer's Wrap" segment, in which Filippo and Co-Host Mark Laisure, and sometimes surprise guests, bring it all home for the listeners in a sometimes humorous and sometimes touching, but always entertaining conversation.
