Hey, everybody! Hope you had a great week. Welcome to another edition of Craig’s Pop Life, a Black gay excursion into pop culture. It’s giving content, hunny!

CRAIG VAULT

Me talking to my smart, warm, and funny friends, the R&B Representers, about Labelle’s Nightbirds.

If you don’t plan to or have time to watch, please just go to their page and subscribe to help with their business. Can’t say you want more independent Black voices if you don’t support ‘em, now. Thanks!
