This is a flashback episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk for the week of April 5, 2017 (originally broadcast for the weeks of of February 25 & March 4, 2015) with some new and classic music from the international Black Diaspora, news and commentary.

This week's radio show breakdown (by minutes/hours):
0:00 - 1:32:27 Introduction & Extended Commentary
1:32:27 - 2:15:05 DJ Fusion Mix
2:15:05 - 3:13:37 Ausar Ra Black Hawk Mix



Our extended commentary during that week after being back from some illness from the past 2 weeks touched base on the crazy winter weather in the U.S., net neutrality finally passing via the FCC in the United States (for now), the FOX soap opera "Empire" becoming a huge thing in current popular culture and our feelings on how the TV series has developed & Black broadcast TV at large, the passing of actor Leonard Nimoy & basketball player Anthony Mason, actress Monique talking about being blackballed in Hollywood & issues with director Lee Daniels, various Grammys & Oscar Award controversies from this year (with Kanye West's "Artist of the Year" complaint, Beyonce singing the lead song from the movie "Selma" instead of the original artist Ledisi, Patricia Arquette's terribly misguided backstage statements, etc.) and some other things here and there.

There is no new new Black Agenda Report segment on this week's show due to our extended commentary.

Introduction Song: A Tribe Called Quest - Youthful Expression (Jive Records)

This week, we have a special episode of the FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk where DJ Fusion interviewed Monica Moorehead, the presidential candidate for the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election for the Workers World Party.

Presently, with the current “interesting” presidential election cycle (to say the least) here in the United States at the moment, one is more aware than ever of the imbalance in how 3rd parties are looked at in our current political system in terms of exposure by mainstream media outlets, if they even get any attention at all.

The FuseBox Radio’s 2016 Presidential Candidate Interview Sessions were avialble to assist with educating voters a bit of information about various political parties & their viewpoints beyond the Democrat/Republican binary with what they stand for straight from the source.

We talked about what exactly IS a socialist from Ms. Moorehead's viewpoint and how she decided to become deeply & personally involved with politics & the Workers World Party during college at Norfolk State in the 1970s, the WWP's platform (in regards to education, health care, the legal system & more), how change needs to happen from local levels on up (in the ballot box and on the streets), the current 2 party political landscape presidential candidacy shenanigans, how folks have been responding to their campaign (especially since socialism has been slandered with misinformation via various places), the difference between Democratic Socialism and Socialism, why there is such an imbalance with 3rd party political candidates getting on the ballot in various states on multiple levels and lots more!

This is a 3 hour mix of love songs by DJ Fusion based off of the FuseBox Radio Broadcast's Medium blog series folks did last year called #29DaysOfBlackLoveSongs (an extra song in the month, since leap year and whatnot), which is/was an audio celebration she did during the Black History Month 2016 that selected various tunes that express all sorts of Black Love — self-love, platonic love, romantic love, love for community, etc. - from all sorts of genres repping the Black Diaspora.

Enjoy this - not just for Valentine's Day Week, but anytime! :)

** NOTE: This week is an explicit/not radio friendly episode on the music and commentary ends... **

This is the latest, BRAND NEW episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk for the week of January 25, 2017 with some new and classic music from the international Black Diaspora, news and commentary on everything from politics to pop culture.

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

Introduction + Commentary: 0:00 - 1:09:22
DJ Fusion Music Mix: 1:09:22 - 2:05:33
Ausar Ra Black Hawk Music Mix: 2:05:33 - 3:08:56



Our commentary this week touched base on our viewpoints and personal experiences on & at the various protests that have happened since the inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the U.S. in D.C. & beyond, how folks can miss the point trying to find the "perfect" way to be a part of positive change & activism, the crippling mess that is White Feminism, singer Chrisette Michele's choice to sing for an inauguration event & her steadily poor excuses as to why, the Oscar nominations and some other stuff here and there.

There is no brand new Black Agenda Report news mini-segment on this week's episode due to our extended commentary.
