## Resource

R&B, love, and community power sit at the center of this conversation with Jean-Pierre “JP” Brice, founder of CMP Radio in Chester, PA. Drawing from loss, hustle, and healing, JP talks with Queue Points about what it means to build a station, show up for your city, and raise Black boys with honesty and care through the language of music. This is a grounded, reflective episode for listeners who care about Black radio, R&B, and the everyday work of community building. ​In this episode, you’ll hear: How JP went from a 12-year-old dealing with his father’s passing to founding CMP Radio, and why Barack Obama’s election and therapy were key turning points in that journey. Why R&B, especially the Quiet Storm era, remains a toolkit for love, communication, and vulnerability for Black men, and how it helped JP process trauma and choose a different path. The story behind CMP Radio’s mission to “cultivate mature positivity,” including youth programs, Fusion Fridays, and creating spaces where people in Chester feel seen, heard, and supported. A candid father–son moment where JP breaks generational silence—teaching his son and his friends about sex, condoms, and respect, using H-Town’s “Knockin’ Da Boots” as a conversation starter. How memories tied to songs like Stevie Wonder’s “That Girl” and the work of artists like George Benson, Sade, Chaka Khan, and Phyllis Hyman keep JP anchored in joy, accountability, and a deeper sense of responsibility to his community.
