Michael Seger joins the Kid L Podcast for a conversation filled with wild celebrity stories, lessons from the music industry and the journey that put him in the room with some of the biggest names in entertainment.

Michael shares the story of Jelly Roll’s unforgettable arrival in Detroit, recalling an escort of around 20 police vehicles and several blocks being shut down as Jelly Roll made his way to a recording session. After the session had been canceled multiple times, Michael says he only had about 20 minutes notice that Jelly Roll was actually coming.

He also reflects on working with Boosie, explaining how BandGang bringing Boosie in for a session became an important moment in his career and helped attract attention from across Detroit’s music scene.

Michael talks about recording with Jaden Smith, including working on multiple songs, some of which were never released, and shares stories about Katt Williams, who Michael says recorded a large amount of music during multiple visits.

The conversation also explores the less glamorous side of building a career in music.

Before establishing himself professionally, Michael was recording artists from his home. He recalls an attempted robbery following one of those sessions that completely changed how he viewed bringing strangers into his personal space. The experience ultimately pushed him to stop doing house sessions.

Michael also remembers investing approximately $45,000 of his own money into an early studio location, only for the roof to collapse when construction was nearly finished. He says he lost everything he had invested and had to figure out how to keep moving forward.

Beyond the celebrity stories, Michael breaks down what he has learned from years of working directly with artists. He discusses seeing questionable record contracts, why talent alone rarely creates a successful career, and the importance of work ethic, relationships, marketing, branding and content.

He explains the difference between simply knowing how to operate recording software and actually being a great engineer. For Michael, engineering also means earning an artist’s trust, creating an environment where they feel comfortable and knowing when to challenge someone to give a better performance.

Michael also reflects on his own relationship with alcohol and sobriety, his evolution as a musician, and the next chapter of his career performing, writing and touring with the Ethan Marc Band.

From Jelly Roll, Boosie, Jaden Smith and Katt Williams to attempted robbery, losing a major investment and learning the realities of the music business, Michael Seger shares the stories and experiences that shaped his journey.

She discusses founding Moore Black Press, independently selling thousands of books and building her career before artists had social media and modern digital platforms to reach audiences.

Jessica also tells the story of working with Nas on his Nastradamus album. She remembers Nas wanting her poetry to be the first and last thing listeners heard on the project and discusses the lessons she learned about publishing, ownership and the business of being an artist.

The conversation also touches on George Clinton, India.Arie, Black Women Rock, Betty Davis, the influence of Black women in rock music and Jessica’s commitment to preserving cultural history.

From Detroit’s Hip Hop Shop era to New York’s poetry scene, the Apollo stage, independent publishing and collaborations with legendary artists, Jessica Care Moore has spent decades participating in and documenting important moments in hip hop, poetry and Black culture.
