Lesser Known Characters is a weekly podcast hosted by Shapel Lacey and Joel Jimenez as they go on a journey with each guest, learning about their lives through their musical choices. They ask everything from songs guests play in their car to the songs they play at the gym, songs that remind them of love, sadness, youth and more. 

This week, stand-up comedian Chris Riggins drops by the studio and gives us everything we need to know about I Got 5 On It. Chris gives us his take on why he believes Stevie Wonder can see, we break down a few icons in Bobby Brown and Lenny Kravitz and Chris explains why Drake is a guilty pleasure.

Chris Riggins: Chris Riggins’ comedy comes from a very sincere place. A native of Berkeley, California, his comedy comes second to his intellect and his ability to comment on the world around him. To see Chris perform is to see a window into the reality of American culture, both comic and tragic. While Chris has many credits to his name, including opening for legends like Dave Chappelle, his true appeal is in his brutally honest comedy, which will force you to think while laughing.
