We’re taking it to the extreme this week on The Message! I never realized until recently that I am an extreme sports junkie!

I’ve done ATV off-roading, white water rafting and skydiving and guess what? I’m going to share three artists who have done the exact same thing. But before all that I’ve got your Messenger of the Evening who is not only and extremely successful businessmen, but a huge figure in sports business and I didn’t even know it!

Plus we’ll dive into how this extreme sport was a part of hip-hop for at least 30 years and nobody ever says anything about it. I’ll also share some hilarious but personal extreme sports stories of my own!

If you’re a thrill seeker and you love hip-hop and R&B, I promise you this is episode is for you! Pull up this week and find out how extreme sports collides with hip-hop and R&B.
