On today’s episode of ‘Creative Space,’ we have the pleasure of chatting with The Bul Bey aka Amir “The Bul Bey” Richardson.
By day, he’s the community conversation curator for Philadelphia's PBS and NPR affiliate newsroom at WHYY as well as the music careers coordinator at The Digilogue. But by night, he’s a beloved hip hop wordsmith whose bouncy bars elevate the bright side of working class life.
Since emerging in 2015 with his LP, ‘Shaking Hands and Kissing Babies,’ he’s worked with Grammy-winning producer Illmind and even shared the stage with celebrated rap veterans like Lupe Fiasco.
He currently co-hosts a podcast with the Franklin Institute called “So Curious” and recently got a song placed in the hit television show, ‘Abbott Elementary.’
In our conversation, we talk about how he got his music on the show, his creative process as a hip hop artist, balancing his music career with a day job, and much much more.
