Episode Details

What happens when Black boys grow up without consistent mentorship, guidance, and community support? Killer Mike, Bear, and Moetown Lee sit down with Gary Davis, founder of Next Level Boys Academy, for a powerful conversation about fatherhood, mentorship, education, and the future of young Black men. From the challenges facing today's youth to the impact of absent fathers, the crew explores how communities can create real change instead of simply reacting to the problems. Gary shares the incredible story behind Next Level Boys Academy, a program that has mentored thousands of young men across Metro Atlanta while helping divert countless years of prison sentences through mentorship, accountability, and opportunity. The conversation touches on parenting, mental health, trade education, community ownership, criminal justice reform, and why investing in young boys may be the most important work happening today. This is a candid discussion about responsibility, healing, and what it takes to build stronger families and stronger communities for the next generation.
