Manage episode 312717116 series 3242973
Felix Jones II is a former Dallas Cowboys first round draft pick running back, and current owner of the Skyline Mansion and co-owner of Skyline Star records with #FireInLittleAfrica co-executive producer Steph Simon. Felix graduated from Booker T. Washington High School before playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks and then entering the NFL. The Skyline Mansion is the former Brady Mansion — in 1921 it was the home of Tate Brady who was once viewed as a founding father of Tulsa before being outed as a KKK leader who helped orchestrate the Tulsa Race Massacre.
In this episode, Ali and Doc catch up with Felix and Steph to learn how they went from being childhood friends to business partners on a record label. They discuss their monthly Skyline Market featuring local entrepreneurs and creators which returns this Saturday March 27 11am-4pm. Finally they get Felix’s thoughts on #FireInLittleAfrica and the fact that much of the album was recorded in the Skyline Mansion.
