Music and basketball go together like peanut butter and jelly. The world hasn’t been the same since Kurtis Blow’s infamously-titled hit, “Basketball.” Atlanta writer, podcaster and audiophile Bria Felicien sat down with Jasmine Baker in a two-part episode of “Players of the New School.” The up-and-coming journalist has a unique approach to sports, recently publishing an R&B album thread for NWSL teams.
