For our final cover, NUNAR Editor-in-Chief sat down with hometown hero, world-renowned percussionist-musician, and inventor, Malik DOPE, to discuss his work to help train a new generation of go-go artists across the world with the launch of his cultural diplomacy project, the United Nations of DC Go Go Music. ⁠
⁠
At just 32, he’s already launching go-go projects in Japan, Cuba, and Brazil. When he’s not cultivating fresh go-go talent overseas, he’s captivating millions, thanks to his electrifying America’s Got Talent clips that set the internet ablaze. He is also the inventor of 8+ Stick It, a fashionable mobile drumstick holder for musicians on the go.⁠
⁠
Our conversation explored Malik’s formative experiences on becoming a performer, the evolution from street to stage, and the profound impact of fatherhood.⁠

It’s not a drill 🚨 x Tiny Desk just dropped, delivering a closing to Black Music Month. Our Editorial Co-Director was in the mix with the Nasty Mob, DMV music scenesters, and lucky attendees to witness it. She reviews her experience:

“Being at a Tiny Desk Concert feels comfortingly familiar, almost as if you’ve been there before. The casual office setting, filled with folks across all walks of life, feels like a microcosm of our shared experiences as strangers who vibe to the same beat.

Rico radiated such a naturally positive and warm energy, welcoming the intimacy of the space and commanding the atmosphere. Her performance took the audience on a trip not only through her amazing discography, but through some of her heart.

Shifting from tough grunge vocals to soft melodies to anecdotes about motherhood and her child, the performance completely humanized her as an artist in the flesh.

Vulnerability and authenticity are such a beautiful offering in these times, and Rico gave us that gift of being real. It was incredible to witness and I had so much fun.”

Watch the full performance on ’s YouTube or website.
