R&B, Love, and Community Power with JP Brice of CMP Radio in Chester, PA

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Jay Ray: Not only do we have a legend in the building, he is also going to be our first guest from where I'm from. I have been the only Chester person on this show since we started.

Sir Daniel: You gotta put Chester on the map. Put it, you, you already have it. Keep it on your back. So you might as well put the people on the map as well. And Jay Ray, I'm excited about speaking to our guests because he and I come from the same world. You know, before we started, um, before we started recording, we, um, I was talking to you about a shift that I, an upcoming shift that I have at the radio [00:01:00] station and just how, um.

Jay Ray: you do a lot of stuff. You just gotta do

Sir Daniel: hour you, you, you, you end up doing, you wear a lot of hats. Yes, yes indeed. And sometimes the hours can be like, oh God, I'm covering for somebody on my only day off. But when radio is in your veins and it is something that you love to do, there is absolutely.

You know nothing that

will dismay you from, well, I'll take that back.

There's a couple things that, there's a couple zeroes that will, um, dismay you from doing the work, but anyway, I digress. It's just something that's in your blood and when it's in your blood and you have a passion for the music or the talk. Um, of the talk situation of the, um, station, then you're, uh, you're obliged and you're happy to do it.

So I'm ready to hear this brother's story and just see what kind of experience that he's had in the radio game.

Jay Ray: Ooh,

man. Oh man. So folks, we are gonna welcome

our [00:02:00] guest to the show.

Jay Ray: Absolutely.

Sir Daniel: we are super, super proud to have you on

and so, okay, I gotta ask real quick 'cause

I, I hear you were born in Brooklyn.

JP Brice: Right.

Sir Daniel: um, also I grew up in Brooklyn as well, so we

got a whole lot, we got a lot

of things in common and, and we definitely have the radio game in

common.

I know that, um, radio is one of those

industries where people are always

finding a home.

Jay Ray: Mm.

Sir Daniel: I would love to know? [00:04:00] what, have you

had any experience in terrestrial radio and what that was like if you had

any, and then after you matriculated through that, what made

you say, okay, um, CMP radio has been living in my brain

for a long time

now I need to see it come to fruition.

Talk us through that.

The Birth of CMP Radio

JP Brice: Yeah, so terrestrial radio, I've never, I've never ever been in a live radio station like, you know, here in Chester, right? We have power 99 WDAS 1 0 7 0.9. I've never been to any of those radio stations, but, um, me and my, my love for radio comes from my mother, right? Um, my father passed away when I was 12, uh, and me and my mom before he passed away, we listened to, um, WDAS, Tony, Tony Brown, uh, uh, the Quiet Storm.

Right. We will make tapes. Right. And I would listen to it the next day and she always would tell me, you know, music R&B music calms the savage beasts, right? You know, when you, when [00:05:00] you listen to it, it, it invokes feelings of love, empathy, listening, um, instructions. It's a lot of instructions in the music from back in the day, not so much today, right?

Um, and, and how to love on a woman correctly. How to love on a man correctly, the things that we want. Not really crying, you know? Um, but

Jay Ray: can cry too.

JP Brice: I know, I know. I know.

Sir Daniel: We cry together.

JP Brice: right. We cried together. Absolutely. Absolutely. Um, but from there, I, I fell in love with radio. Um, then my father passed away.

He asked me to take care of, um, his wife and his daughter. And, and that put a lot of pressure on a 12-year-old kid. Right. So, you know, I was confused at what, what he meant. Right. I thought he wanted me to financially take care of them. Right. So I went out there to the streets, right? Um, I had a job. I worked different jobs, but radio fell to the wayside.

Transition

[00:06:00]

What Made JP and the team Start CMP When They Did?

Jay Ray: to that point, like getting to build your own home,

JP Brice: Mm-hmm.

Jay Ray: it at home, right. Um, growing up here, there, historically, I remember always saying there's not a lot here.

JP Brice: Hmm.

Jay Ray: But there was, right, there was always things and there was always pockets. Right. And you chose to build this foundation here. Um, what made you start It when you started it

Challenges and Inspirations

JP Brice: Um, realizing that our community was losing because we didn't communicate

right. We didn't talk to each other.

So CP was founded in, uh,

2017. Right? Um, I started with two other people, um, DJ, Chuck B and Joelle Dodson. Right. Um, [00:07:00] and these were people that I respected, right? And said, okay, if you do your job, I'm gonna do

mine, right? And, and my job was to go out into

cultivate, mature positivity in our community, go out and get people to want to do what I

was doing, um, and and, and bring

money into the radio station. Um, the radio station when it was founded, there wasn't a lot of, uh,

let's say love right? Being poured

out the way it's being poured out currently.

Um, and, and, people were doubting themselves and doubting

what they could do. I, I, I'd say that Barack Obama

being elected shifted my

life, right? It, it allowed me to see

what I could be and that I could be more than what I was currently at that

time, right? So. If everybody say Barack

didn't do anything with black people, he gave me hope.

He gave, he, he, he changed a lot of things for

me, man, like personally. I changed

from that day, from that day forth. Right. It took a while before the radio

station, 'cause it was always in my head, right?

It was always there, but [00:08:00] it took a while for the radio station to actually come out. Actually went to therapy.

Right, because, because I was out there running the streets, still playing

in the streets, and, and I was a,

um, I was a, how do you say it? I don't wanna, I was sharing a little too

much

Jay Ray: Mm.

JP Brice: myself, right.

And, and, and, it, and, and it became dangerous. Uh, this is why, this is why I love Johnny, right? When he, when he came to me

and he brought the, the HIV to me, I said, yo, I was there. I

was in that right. I'm, I'm, it only takes one time.

Right. And I'm so happy it never happened like that, but I, that's how dangerous I was playing in the streets, right?

So, um, I went to therapy, talked to my therapist, and he asked me, he said, what'd you wanna be when you was 16 years old?

Sir Daniel: Hmm.

JP Brice: I said, I wanted to be on radio. He

said, so why don't you find a radio? I said, don't nobody wanna hire nobody. I don't have any radio experience. I don't know how to do this stuff. He was like, oh, no experience.

Why don't you start your own? [00:09:00]

And from

Jay Ray: Wow.

JP Brice: It was like a

rocket right?

Elevation.

Building a Community Platform

JP Brice: So, um, yeah, I went, uh, to PQRadio1 Purple Queen, I know Q Tommy. I hit them up. I told them what I was trying to do. They work, welcomed me into their radio station. I was at their radio station for at least two years

before I, before they moved to Philly.

And it was just too much of a commute for me to get up there. The

guests had to come up there and I said, nah we need one in Chester. So I hit DJ Chuck B up. Joelle Dodson was already with me. Helping me organize my radio show. And we just said, all right man, we gonna do it. We're gonna do it in Chester. We going, we are gonna cultivate mature positivity by constantly making

progress and understanding that we are Chester made products, man, all CMP.

Jay Ray: Oh, all CMP.

Sir Daniel: I see. You

JP Brice: All

day.

Sir Daniel: see? See, Jay Ray, when I was trying to guess what CNP stood for, I did say

Jay Ray: You did say che. See, I didn't know that part. See,

Sir Daniel: that and I was,

and I pulled that out the air and I said, well, I was like, Chester Ma. [00:10:00]

you

know, and here we are and it's the real thing. You know what, that what you just said though, JP

resonates

with, with me so, so

tough because I went through a moment, um,

in time where I was trying to figure out, I.

What did, what, what was it?

What was my calling? And I had to do the same thing. And it's legit. I

think it's, it's true. When they ask kids, what do you want to do? Who do you want to be when you grow

up? And nine times out of 10, the first thing that comes to their minds

is

what is going to be. And I reflected on,

I'll note, I reflected to a moment when I was about.

12, 13 years old.

I remember specifically saying, I want to be a radio announcer, and went

and that. I spoke to the universe at a very young age, and that came back

to

me and it finds you you know it found you [00:11:00] right? It came back and found you and,

and tell us about that. like, what does it

take to put together

a station?

Because there's a difference between terrestrial radio

and internet radio. So what, just, you know,

give us a little peek inside about what it took to put together the station?

JP Brice: Patience,

Sir Daniel: Well, yeah.

JP Brice: a lot of patience. A lot of understanding. Right. Um, consistency. Right. Being consistent, making sure you're showing up every day, making sure you know who you are. Right. I I also hold a, uh, we have a cohort that's, that started last Saturday. It's an intergenerational storytelling cohort, and one of the first things I wanted people to understand is that you have to know who you are before you get next to this microphone.

You have to know what you like, what you don't like, what you dislike, what you what, everything that you want. You have to know that. And if you don't know that, that's when things go left. 'cause someone else can tell you what you like. Someone else can tell you what you want [00:12:00] and get you to work for them that way.

Right. And I know on terrestrial radio you can't really, if the boss likes this, you gotta really push that. Right. And it gets, it gets a little left. Right. But you still have to know what you like personally, right. And what your personality wants to in.

Sir Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Jay Ray: yeah.

man. Um, you to, to knowing what you like, right? You made a deliberate choice. Because you could have gone in a lot of directions in terms of foundationally how to look at the station. You know what I'm saying? Probably even more lucrative

JP Brice: Mm-hmm.

Jay Ray: versions of that when we look at how hip hop is used right.

To in, in, in, uh, a lot of different ways. Right? You chose R&B as like the foundation, of course, recognizing that. That Tony Brown inspiration, that making tapes, that, that [00:13:00] connection to love, that connection to those messages.

The Importance of R&B and Personal Growth

Jay Ray: But what does that sound mean to you? Like W why do you think R&B is important for us to make sure that we don't, that it doesn't get lost?

Because we hear that a lot that it's getting lost. We don't believe that here. Why do you think It's important that it doesn't get lost?

JP Brice: important that it doesn't get lost because it teaches. It teaches us

everything. How to love, how to be listeners, how to communicate, how to cry, how to be upset, how To As as men,

Right? Just as men we're, we run from

vulnerability, right? If we're vulnerable, we're weak, right? Automatic

all. You're vulnerable, You're weak.

I I'm not vulnerable,

but you have to

be vulnerable to love someone, right? You have to open up yourself. You have to open up

yourself to attacks, You feel me? And then stay stoic in that attack and

understand. No, she's saying this because she's mad, she's doing this because [00:14:00] she's upset. It's not, it's not me that got her

upset.

It's the

situation. Right. So, you know, you gotta be stoic and stand still and say, okay, I understand that. Right. So RB for me, helped

me deal with, um. Some trauma, right? Some traumas that

I was dealing with, right? Whenever I feel bad, man, I turned my

my microphone, I turned my speaker on and I listen to RB and I can listen to RB all day, all night and it'll bring me outta that funk

because I'm understanding

how to communicate, how I feel. Um, I got jumped at the RS

Club, almost lost my eye. and um.

Sir Daniel: Yeah.

JP Brice: In that time that I wasn't on

the street and I wasn't

playing around, I had my headphones while I was listening to

RB, my kids went to

school during the day. I put my RB on and just sit there and

write about the radio station. Just sit there and write about the

radio station and it it, I believe that if you get a journal and you write down what you want, it'll

come true.

I had

no other

choice but this start the radio station, 'cause I had wrote so much about it. Right. It was like, if I don't start it, then I'm not really

[00:15:00] living right. And I wanna live. Right. I don't wanna, I don't wanna just exist. I wanna

live. Right. So I started the radio station. Has it been it?

I know it's eight years.

The radio station has

been here every year there's a new lesson.

Jay Ray: eight years. of doing this, we going to just celebrate that.

JP Brice: Right, right. And

thank you.

Jay Ray: Just sit in there for a second.

Sir Daniel: That.

JP Brice: Thank you. Yeah, eight years. Um, and like I said, I don't always make the right decisions, right?

I make, I make some messed up decisions 'cause I was still a messed up person.

But understanding from that place of being messed up, I'm growing, I'm making myself better every day. And I want to continue to improve the relationship in the city, in the community, in the county, everywhere, worldwide. If it can get out right

that we deserve an opportunity to love on each other.

Building Unity and Family Lessons

JP Brice: We deserve an opportunity to build with each other.

Right. I've been pushing Unity since I first started, right? Because my [00:16:00] father, he was

Haitian. Um, he came here very young. He was a taxi cab driver, right? Whenever I drive up to

New York, my mom used to say, you drive just like your father.

You it outta traffic Real quick, because my, my father talked. Yes. My father taught me how to drive at a very young age. At a

very young age. I think it was like 10,

Jay Ray: Right?

JP Brice: he taught me how to drive, get, get behind the wheel. Understand this, right? You, you make the moves, you direct the car, but be, be aware of the people around you,

right? So I learned that throughout my life, right?

I ran the

streets, being aware of the people that were around me. I know what you into, so I'm not

gonna stay around you too long 'cause something gonna happen to me.

Jay Ray: Mm.

JP Brice: out. Right? So, and I tell that to my son all the

time. Be aware of the people that are around you, right? Ask questions, right? Because that's how you get answers.

You don't get answers by waiting for it to happen.

That's the result. That's not the answer, right? So I tell him all the time. So understanding that, right?

R&B and Party Vibes

JP Brice: And, and that's why R&B just. It grooves with [00:17:00] me, right? Everywhere

I go, right? Listening to Elder Barge and I, I put on a song the other day. He said, yo, I remember that.

Chew Real like, yeah. Right now we're about to, um, we're about to throw a party. It's all love, DJ Deuxrelle. He does a R&B party.

gonna do this at Harris for the first time ever on March

21st, right? It's going to be a huge party. I just want people to come out and vibe with us, man. Come out and vibe with the

DJs, come out and vibe with the event, and, and hopefully we can grow that

as well.

Jay Ray: man.

Sir Daniel: You know, it's so funny that you said that because I was going to ask, I, I figured that there was some type of, um, signature event.

Jay Ray: Mm-hmm.

Sir Daniel: For this, for the station, and you just said it and I was gonna be like, well, what kind, what? There's gotta be a signature event that you're working on and that you do have it.

Because what I ga what I glean from you already is that legacy is important to you.

Transition

 Father-Son Conversations

Sir Daniel: Just outta [00:18:00] curiosity, what, what has your son picked up? Like what's your son's favorite, uh, R&B jam that you kind of in, that you introduced him to?

Jay Ray: Hm.

JP Brice: H tail knocking the boots. Now listen.

Jay Ray: That's a great song. It's a great song. It's okay.

JP Brice: so, so, so so, hold on. Let me, let me, let me put that let me, so we were lit. We were in the car one day and him and his homies were in the car one day and we were talking, I was like, listen, you know, I was

telling him from my experience, right? My father

wasn't here to teach me how to put a condom on.

Right. So when I said that to him, he was like, oh, what you mean you not go? I said no. I said, sir, we went to Acme. I bought a banana. went to

uh, we then went

to, um, Walgreens or CVS. I bought the condoms. I took all the kids in there. I said, pick out which

condom you think fits you. You feel me? Because it's you. This is the first time I'm paying

for it, right? So it's on me,

but I want y'all to protect yourselves. I want y'all to understand that I didn't

know how important it was to [00:19:00] protect yourself. Right. Sat in there with 'em, they bought the condoms.

We out in the car and I said, when you with

a

girl, Ben, you wanna, you wanna lighten the mood, you wanna make it so so this is what I

used to listen to when the song Oh,

yeah, yeah.

yeah, yeah. That's, that's the mood setter right there.

Right. That's the

Sir Daniel: was the,

what, was their initial reaction to that song? I'm so curious.

JP Brice: it was like, like they talk like this. like this.

is what you knocking the boots who, who boots you touching? I said, hold on.

I had to explain everything to him.

Right.

Sir Daniel: uh.

JP Brice: is, you know, like, come on, think about

Jay Ray: We didn't just, we didn't just say it then.

JP Brice: Right, right. Now

y'all say it. Now, now, now, now. You know. Right, right, right. We tried to hide it. Right, now.

Now it's just, it is out. It's just out

there now. But explaining to him what it means to be in a

relationship, what it means to tell the truth, what it means to be honest about yourself again.

My father wasn't here. I learned

all that stuff on

the fly and I was out on the streets, so you know, you don't really learn

[00:20:00] the

truth. Until you examine what they're saying. Right.

I didn't know that. So I'm just Oh, yeah. Mess with another girl. Oh yeah. You supposed to have two or three. Okay. Alright, alright. Alright. Then I'm like, who, why would I do that

Like, that doesn't make sense.

But for me, um, because also the event

Community Engagement and Unity

JP Brice: that we're throwing March, March 21st, that's not our only event.

Right. So we do Fusion Fridays where we go out into our community, where we take resources into our community, where we bring. A good feeling of R&B, a good feeling of love, a good feeling of community, a good feeling of unity into our community. We do that during the summer months when the kids are out. Um, so it's, it's not just, that's the first time we we're ever

doing that. Right. And, and I hope it blows up. I hope it grows because that's my brother's brand. It's

all love. Right. But I had to get behind him to get him to move into doing it in the Harris.

Right. Because that's a big, that's a casino, right?

So you you need, you need, you need people to buy tickets

for that. Right. But, um, yeah, for me it is, it is [00:21:00] all about, you know, communication. I, I have a saying that communication and unity builds a

community, right?

We have to communicate and we have to be on the same level, if not on the same level, understanding things on the same level.

Right. You

know? Um, our community is so divided right now, and this is just not the, this is just not Chester.

This is all

black people, right? We're divided, right? What side do you stand on? What do you represent? What

do you like? All that stuff. That's, that's not stuff you were born with.

Jay Ray: Yeah.

JP Brice: It was born with this,

right?

This, this skin right here. So,

you know, we should stand together. We should support each other. So, you know,

um, I'm, I'm all for it, man. Power to all people.

Jay Ray: Man. Um, Okay.

So I do have a quick question. This is, it's kind of a, uh, it's a, i i, I can't let you leave now 'cause I'm curious. One of the things that I appreciate about you, um, JP and you talked about the fact that you've been to therapy, you are able to communicate how you feel [00:22:00] very clearly. Right. Um, I'm curious to know.

The Power of Music and Memories

Jay Ray: Song wise, if you could Go back in time and think of, and like pinpoint a song that that song is like, nah, that was like the one that I felt like opened me up. You know what I mean? You may not have known it at the time, but when you reflect it was like, nah, I was That joint right there.

JP Brice: That girl by Stevie Wonder.

Jay Ray: Yo, great choice.

Sir Daniel: Say more about that. What? What was it about this song?

JP Brice: That song for me is, just memories. It's attached to

memories. Um, my, father, my

my uncle, um.

Just dancing and dancing

with my aunt and my mother and laughing and joking.

Right. Um, It's not so much the song and the words inside the

the Song

it's, it's, it's more about what I

remember seeing when that

song played.

Right. Um, and my dad loved George

[00:23:00] Benson. Right. You know, and he would always play George Benson. So that, that's

another thing that, that, that, that brings back memories. Like a lot of the old

RB just brings back memories of my father and, and partying and having fun. And when I'm in that zone.

I could think about doing more for my community, right?

I, I hold myself more accountable. cause

when I'm listening to rap, I'm, I'm

thinking about, you know, DMX is, yeah,

Jay Ray: Yeah.

JP Brice: let's go. you feel me? I get into that and it's, it's over

for you. Seriously. if I get into that, I get the growling.
