k-os shares a Prince story worthy of a Dave Chappelle sketch
Rapper k-os joins Shad to tell him about the time he was "summoned" by Prince for an unforgettable conversation.
Canadian rapper k-os joins Shad to share a special meeting he had with Prince at a Toronto nightclub.
As the story goes, k-os was "summoned" by Prince to attend a concert and the subsequent after-party. The rapper fondly remembers his first encounter with Prince, "he's wearing a red jump suit and he's sucking on a lollipop."
The conversation that followed has stuck with k-os.
"He quizzed me for about 15 minutes. What label am I on? Do I know my royalty rate? ... He was getting really upset with me, kind of like, 'You need to know this stuff, you can't be on the plantation forever man.'"
k-os says it felt like an older brother giving him advice.
