  • Mic Drop Moments & Truth Bombs
    Please keep our brother Yusuf Hassan and his family in your prayers as they are going through very troubled times.
    In his absence I'll be joined by multi published, multi recorded, Spoken Word legend, Tribal Raine. AKA Mrs Parthas. :)
    In this episode we're dropping mics and exploding truth bombs while amplifying voices that break the issues down so succinctly it should be considered an art form.
    Of course we've got powerful music and poetry lined up as well as bringing the voices of our abolitionist ancestors back to life for a new generation of slavery abolitionists.

  • S4-E22 The myth of good Enslavers and Happy Slaves
    We address the myths being perpetrated that in any way, shape, or form, that slavery was beneficial to black people, that there was such a creature as a good enslaver, or that slaves were happy and content with their oppressive conditions.
    It's a shame we even need to explain this in 2023 but who better than us right?
    As always, we'll share amazing music, poetry, and bring the voices of the abolitionist ancestors back to life for a new generation in our Bridging The gap Segment.

  • S4-E21 The Blackout
    In this episode we're all black everything. We're play music about being black. We'll talk about black issues. Highlight systemic racism against black lives. We'll Discuss black history, and do it all unapologetically.
    In the past few months we've gotten some complaints that we focus too much on black people. On Social media I've been accused of conspiring to hide black criminality.
    Well, this episode is for you. If it pisses you off so be it. Blame Max. I chose to do this episode.
    In a nation where you can't even say the words Black People (choosing POC instead) or talk about issues exclusive to descendants of the Diaspora without showing an often nonexistent intersectionality in some kind of oppression Olympics, we're about to black out on your ass.
    Of course, we're going to bring the voice of a BLACK abolitionist back to life for a new generation in our bridging The Gap segment.
    I see you seething and it makes me smile.

  • The Blind Men and the Elephant (Rebroadcast)
    The parable of the blind men and an elephant is a story of a group of blind men who have never come across an elephant before and who learn and imagine what the elephant is like by touching it. Each blind man feels a different part of the elephant's body, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. They then make a determination of what creature they are touching based on the limited knowledge.
    This week we explain the 4 competing groups attempting to dominate the US justice system narrative. What groups? What narratives? What's the difference? What do they have in common? Is it a problem? How? Using music, poetry, and dialogue, we'll discuss all that and more.
    As always, we'll also bring the words of our abolitionists ancestors back to life for a new generation in our Bridging The Gap segment.

    The most dangerous thing in the world
    "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
    -Martin Luther King Jr.
    Tonight we directly address the pro-slavery anti-black arguments. The complete denial, the logical fallacies, the stereotypes and tropes. The arguments of the past and the present because they are one and the same.
