R&B, Black men & community radio sit at the heart of this conversation with Jean-Pierre "JP" Brice of CMP Radio in Chester, PA, as we dig into how music, love, and local media shape real lives and choices.
​
In this episode of Queue Points, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray sit down with JP to talk about co-founding and building CMP Radio from the ground up, staying rooted in R&B, and showing up for Black boys and Black communities with honesty, accountability, and care. From Quiet Storm memories with his parents to teaching his son and his friends about sex and responsibility, JP traces a line from personal loss and street life to therapy, healing, and community work.

You’ll hear JP share:
How his father’s passing, his mother’s love of WDAS and the Quiet Storm, and Barack Obama’s election pushed him toward starting CMP Radio after years of carrying the idea in his head.
​- Why R&B is more than a vibe for him—it’s a language for vulnerability, communication, and processing trauma that helped pull him out of some of his hardest moments.
​- What it takes to build and sustain an internet radio station in Chester, including youth media work, Fusion Fridays, and a commitment to “cultivating mature positivity” in a divided world.
​- A candid father–son car conversation sparked by H-Town’s “Knockin’ Da Boots,” and how JP uses music to break generational silence around sex, protection, and relationships.
​- How songs like Stevie Wonder’s “That Girl” and the catalogues of George Benson, Sade, Chaka Khan, and Phyllis Hyman keep him grounded in joy, memory, and responsibility to his community.
If you care about R&B, Black men’s emotional lives, and the power of community radio, this episode offers a thoughtful, lived-in look at why “love is the message” still matters.
