Guest (Seneca) :

Seneca Cayson, known professionally as Seneca Da Product, is an Award winning American music producer / recording artist / Activist 5’9”. Dreaded braids. Totally healthy cuz he’s vegan (probably never tasted duck blood soup). Goes nowhere without the Portland Justice T-shirt and his megaphone, generator, mic and speaker (Black power in a nutshell.) A black backpack never goes anywhere without Seneca. “What’s in your backpack?” Probably the book of love, a bag of peace, a few tears, a water bottle, throat lozenges after all those nights of speaking to thousands for Lord’s sake…and maybe a few oxygen masks for good measure. Portland, you know him. Oregon knows him. Nike knows him. New York Times, you know him too. NBC, you don’t know him, because he turned down your interview.
