[Skit: Courtney "Sonni" Hughes & The World Famous Tony Williams] WKNG, Sonni, I'm still hangin' out with Tony Williams You guys, he has been...he's been a really, really good guest today I'm enjoying your company as well Yes, likewise, likewise So I noticed that your project is called King Or The Fool: An Opera, Volume 1 Volume 1, that's correct Yes, so, I guess, what made you choose that? Well, you know, my style as a writer first and foremost is that I'm a storyteller, in a classic sense, so I can't help myself But the album actually is an opera, it's like a rock opera We'll call it a soul opera Uh, and King Or The Fool, um, stars or centers around my alter ego, who is Tony King, right? Mm-hmm And it talks about his relationship with his, uh, his love interest That is played on the album by Erika Alexander, from the sitcom Living Single My girl Maxine, you know her Oh, okay, okay She's my leading lady, if you will And, uh, let's see, my homeboy in the opera is actually comedian Alex Thomas And I'm gonna also introduce, um, another character that actually kinda tries to upstage us all Uh-huh Umm, but yeah, and the opera...the story talks about our relationship, as my alter ego, Tony King Starts off as just a club performer in his rise in the entertainment industry Mm-hmm And how the, uh, the relationship takes its knocks along the way Mm-hmm And it's just kind of, uh You know, I like to say as a songwriter that, uh People ask me what inspires me when I write songs And I'm not necessarily always inspired, but I love to tell a story I think everybody wants to hear a story True But I don't necessarily think it has to be my story in particular So I'm just a storyteller, I just like to create stories, and I've been doin' that forever Well, you wanna get into somethin'? Um, well, since you twisted my arm I see you lookin' over there Yeah, let me see if we can pull out somethin' I'll tell you what, let me just explain a little more I think this song will explain a little bit more what the opera is all about It's called "Rainy Day", check it out Let's go, I hope you got your umbrellas Let's go
