Today I’m breaking down the Kanye song, “All of the Lights” – the metaphor and warning behind it, talking to one of the musicians involved, and seeing how this song and album was Kanye’s “backhanded apology”

Thanks to Ken Lewis for chatting about his work on this song. Catch more clips from our conversation on Digging the Talks, or our full conversation on the Digging The Greats Podcast.
