![Joe Kay of Soulection on The Questlove Show
Questlove sits down with Soulection [https://www.soulection.com/] founder Joe Kay live backstage at the 2026 Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. The conversation traces the origins of a global movement that grew from zip files and SoundCloud posts into a worldwide community. Joe reflects on his earliest musical memories—from family deep cuts and white-label promos to discovering J Dilla—and how those influences helped shape the unmistakable Soulection sound.
He and Questlove dig into the craft of DJing, from set architecture and “go-to” records to reading the room and balancing nostalgia with discovery. Joe also explains why he left Los Angeles for Miami in search of a new international energy. Along the way, they explore the role of curators as culture-shapers, the artists Soulection helped amplify—from Brent Faiyaz to Kaytranada—and what it takes to build a movement that still feels fresh 15 years in.

![How De La Soul Came Together w Maseo | Questlove Show
De La Soul’s Maseo sits down with Questlove for an unfiltered deep dive into his Hip-Hop journey, his approach to deejaying, and the making of a true original. From volatile days in Brooklyn and Long Island to early block parties and the creation of classics like “Me Myself and I,” “Afro Connections,” and the epic “Cool Breeze on the Rocks” splice session, Mase breaks down the art, risk, and innovation behind De La’s catalog. He explains how a skipping record sparked a 20-minute freestyle, how an eight-second guitar pedal became his first sampler, and how the same laugh he was once teased about eventually became a defining element of Gorillaz’ “Feel Good Inc.” Plug 3 also opens up about the Nitro Tour, navigating music-industry politics, pioneering De La’s Kickstarter era, and processing the loss of Dave while keeping the group’s legacy alive. De La Souls Cabin In The Sky album [https://linktr.ee/wearedelasoul?utm_s...] is available now.

![Angela Nissel on Grief, Regret & the Questions We Never Ask | The Questlove Show
Author and screenwriter Angela Nissel joins Questlove—her friend of 35 years—to discuss her memoir, Good Grief, Pass the Bread, Mom Is Dead [https://www.harpercollins.com/products/good-grief-pass-the-bread-mom-is-dead-angela-nissel?variant=43993025413154]. Reflecting on her experience as a caregiver, Angela shares what no one told her: to slow down and ask her mother the questions that mattered while there was still time. She opens up about losing her gratitude practice, the matching pajamas she still keeps, the one Luther Vandross song that makes her cry because it was the only time she ever saw her mother break down, and the nursing ID badge that has become a personal shrine. Together, Angela and Ahmir explore memory, grief, and the small objects and moments that continue to connect us to the people weve lost.
