Our objectives:

In Dossier #1, we embark w/ a brief convo about SLANK’s musical upbringing, genesis as an MC, & rev potentialities of music... From there, we properly contextualize the Diddler op within the COINTELPRO & F B I War on Black Leaders continuum; SLANK shares about the Hoover black heritage rumors & the counterfeiting dep't in the Bureau that astroturfed & deliberately stirred up shit & feuds within various civil rights & black liberation mvmts from the Harlem Renaissance to the letter sent to MLK Jr purportedly written by a fellow "clergyman" (read: white F B I staff member snake) pressuring him to commit suicide; the Hoover proclivity for kompromat collection & his fabled files; we talk the Clinton Crimeboss’s Telecomm Act, music industry corporatization, & its relationship to this tale; we unpack the Ayanna Jackson incident, the NY Studio shooting of Tupac, & the coincidental surveilling presence of feds & informants at both the Tupac & Biggie crime scenes...

Kicking off our hard-hitting bio of Sean “Puffy” Combs, we examine his Air Force serviceman Dad's biz ties to Frank Lucas; his likely gang warfare murder when Combs was 3 yrs old; Diddy’s internship w/ Andre Harrell at Uptown, his abortive Howard U career & sex assault allegations that date back to his collegiate party promoting days in DC; his possibly incentivized, rumored gay relationship w/ Zio music exec Clive Davis; & we conclude Dossier #1 w/ what may well be an exclusive PPM revelation re Diddy, namely our contention that the Diddler may have been caught up in a major child sex abuse scandal at the Catholic academy he attended as a teen, the implications of which are immense... That before Diddy became the Diddler, he may have been Diddled himself... And if not, there's a strong chance that he landed on the feds' radar or even established contact w/ them at that early age—possibly the beginning of his suspected confidential informant relationship.

And much, much more in b/w.

I’m privileged to be joined by a scholar w/ a breadth of knowledge re these topics that far exceeds my own. Helping to lead this investigation is someone who can speak to the vitality of hip hop & its revolutionary potential from a place of personal, lived experience. I’m psyched to welcome SLANK to the show—SLANK is a fearsome MC & one part of SLANK & Sunny Ture (recent release: "Nation Time Vol. 2"). SLANK is also a deep historian & a law school grad. The ep opens w/ SLANK’s track “Battle Kings”, so if you dig, make sure to check out his projects & give him a follow on Twitter @DabSquad_Slank.

Also, a huge shout out to Robert Voyvodic, who took SLANK's & my scribbled chicken scratch Diddler power map & rendered it in glorious, mechanic network graph detail. Def give Robert a follow on Twitter at @rvoy__ & bring him your digital artwork & design needs.
