FuseBox Radio Broadcast

This is a flashback episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast for the weeks of October 3 & 10, 2018 (originally broadcast on the Week of January 4, 2012) with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary.

This week our commentary during that episode briefly touched base on the New Year of 2012, some interesting music industry developments (the latest legal developments on SOPA & Protect IP acts, what SoundScan said about 2011 album sales & it's various formats including downloads & vinyl, singer Etta James getting out of the hospital, etc.) and some other diverse topics here and there.

This is a flashback episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast for the weeks of September 19 & 26, 2018 (originally broadcast on the week of March 23, 2018) with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary.

This week's radio show breakdown (by minutes/hours):

Introduction/Commentary 0:00 - 1:12:23
DJ Fusion Music Mix 1:12:23 - 2:16:51
Ausar Ra Black Hawk Music Mix: 2:16:51 - 3:11:33

Our extended commentary during that week was a bit on the scattershot side with us getting back in the mix after a bunch of work around the local and national ways at large, including:

* talking about some recent travels to Seattle for Emerald City Comic Con

* the deaths of rapper Craig Mack, Delicious Vinyl founder Mike Dike & scientist Stephen Hawking & how these folks affected our lives

* the really half-assed (and kind of weird as hell) racial & "cultural appropriation" critiques that have come since Marvel's "Black Panther" movie success and towards singer Bruno Mars

* the FuseBox Radio being right around the corner from it's 20th anniversary in April

* a U.S. political news update (which is still a steadily burning dumpster fire at large, much less with the recent tragedy of the Parkland High School shooting in Florida & gun control talks being rehashed in the public sphere yet again along with nationwide protests)

* Plus some other things here and there!

This is a flashback episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the weeks of July 25 & August 1, 2018 (originally broadcast on the Week of March 30, 2011) with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary.

Our commentary during that week touched base on updates with the after effects of the earthquake + tsunami in Japan, the recent U.N. intervention in Libya news, the possible upcoming U.S. government shutdown due to budget issues and why it's just ridiculous how politicians are dragging this along, the re-birth of the "Birther" fake controversy with President Barack Obama and some other diverse topics here and there.

We also had a great interview with Forbes magazine staff writer Zack O'Malley Greenburg about the creative inspiration, work & drama behind his latest book, "Empire State of Mind: How Jay-Z Went From Street Corner to Corner Office".

Book Summary:

Empire State of Mind tells the story behind Jay-Z’s rise to the top as told by the people who lived it with him–from classmates at Brooklyn’s George Westinghouse High School; to the childhood friend who got him into the drug trade; to the DJ who convinced him to stop dealing and focus on music. This book explains just how Jay-Z propelled himself from the bleak streets of Brooklyn to the heights of the business world.

Zack O’Malley Greenburg draws on his one-on-one interviews with hip-hop luminaries such as DJ Clark Kent, Questlove of The Roots, Damon Dash, Fred “Fab 5 Freddy” Brathwaite, MC Serch; NBA stars Jamal Crawford and Sebastian Telfair; and recording industry executives including Craig Kallman, CEO of Atlantic Records, to paint a tantalizing portrait of a very private mogul. Greenburg also reveals new information on Jay-Z’s various business dealings, such as:

* The feature movie about Jay-Z and his first basketball team that was filmed by Fab 5 Freddy in 2003 but never released.
* The Jay-Z branded Jeep that was scrapped just before going into production.
* The real story behind his association with Armand de Brignac champagne.
* The financial ramifications of his marriage to Beyonce.

Our commentary during that week's show focused on the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, it's meaning and the man's legacy in the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S., NJ Governor Chris Christie's many new political problems via Bridgegate and more, how Kim Dotcom's new music distribution & sales service BaBoom could REALLY change the game for indie music artists, Seattle Seahawks' player Richard Sherman's celebration during the NFL Playoffs and race raising it's ugly head, a stupid Florida policeman who had his mistress use 911 for hookups and some other things here & there.

Due to some out of state creative work travels during the 2 past weekends with the crew, here's a FLASHBACK episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast for the weeks of June 13 & 20, 2018 [originally broadcast on the week of February 24, 2010] with some new and classic music from the international Black Diaspora, news and commentary.

That week's show commentary focused on a whole range of things, from how folks feel about the need and relevancy of a "Black Agenda" in U.S. politics (especially in the eyes of some, with a man of Black descent in office), the latest situation in Australia with the treatment of the Aborigines, how quality R&B represented in the recent Billboard charts with Sade & Jaheim's sales numbers and some other things here and there.

Also during that week's episode, we had a great interview with one of Hip-Hop's dope long lasting MCs, Philadelphia's own Freeway (https://twitter.com/PhillyFreezer).

Some of the topics we've touched base during the interview included Freeway's musical & environmental influences, the influence of Islam in his spiritual & physical life, what creatively sparks Freeway in making music & those to work with, how he built with producer Jake One and come up with "The Stimulus Package" LP (in all stores now), advice about the music industry and lots more!
