Welcome to The Black Wine Guy Experience! In this episode, a special guest joins MJ: the world-renowned hip-hop music producer, MC, and entrepreneur Will Tell. With an impressive roster of collaborations featuring artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan, and Daryl DMC McDaniels, Will has significantly impacted the music industry. But that's not all - he is also the CEO of the True Wine Connoisseurs Group and a board member of The Felix Organization.

In this conversation, MJ and Will delve into the multifaceted world of hip-hop, exploring the concept of respect and understanding in the music industry. They discuss the importance of not only one's lyrical prowess but also the business acumen needed to thrive in the industry. From Rakim's underappreciated legacy to Jay-Z's successful venture into entrepreneurship, they examine artists' different paths to earn respect and recognition.

But that's not all this episode has to offer. Will also shares his passion for wine and his journey to becoming a connoisseur. From discovering Amarone wine while working for Winebow to his love for big, bold, dry red wines, Will's insights into the wine world are not to be missed.

So join us as we dive into the fascinating world of hip-hop, wine, and the intersection of artistry and business with the one and only Will Tell. Get ready for an engaging and enlightening conversation on The Black Wine Guy Experience.
