Queue Points is the podcast that drops the needle on Black music history and celebrates Black culture. In this special year-end episode, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray take listeners on a reflective journey through 2024—a year that moved fast, shook things up, and left us with plenty to unpack.
From personal milestones and hard-earned victories to jaw-dropping social media moments and cultural shifts, our hosts highlight the Good, the Gag, and the Ugly of the year. Jay Ray shares his pride in completing the AIR New Voices AMPLIFY program, while DJ Sir Daniel opens up about navigating career changes and discovering new creative opportunities.
The conversation gets candid as they discuss the rise of unlikely internet stars, the challenges of preserving Black cultural legacy in the digital age, and the losses that rocked the music and DJ community.
