FuseBox Radio Broadcast

This is the latest, BRAND NEW episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk for the week of Oct. 28, 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 - 1:26:34 Introduction and Extended Commentary
1:26:34 - 2.01:30 DJ Fusion Mix
2:01:30 - 2:43:02 DJ Fusion Interview with PS The Rebels (http://www.PSTheRebels.com)
2:43:02 - 3:46:17 Ausar Ra Black Hawk Mix



Our commentary this week after being out for a while touched base on why we've been out of the studio for a little while (lots of press event travels including rolling out to New York Comic Con, DJ gigs, weird 9 to 5 schedules, tech issues and more), the ridiculousness of the issues with people being able to access their own money via the RushCard for almost 2 weeks, racist nerds pitching a fit about a Black Jedi being the protagonist of the upcoming "Star Wars" movie (and just them tripping over People of Color in comic books + science fiction at large), the #AttackAtSpringValley just being the latest unnecessary attack on Black bodies via authoritative figures + the "Black Friends for Hire" who cosigned it in the mainstream media, current U.S. road to the presidential election shenanigans, a Black U.S. citizen applying for refugee status in Canada, Lauryn Hill supposedly being almost, kinda, sorta ready for drop a new album and some other things here and there.



We also interviewed the Texas-based Hip-Hop duo Pihon & SamUiLL (aka PS The Rebels) during this week's show about their album ("The Great Migration" out via W.A.R. Media), comparing the U.S. Hip-Hop scene with Kenya's, how they balance activism with creativity while not being TOO preachy, the independent music hustle in the modern age and more!

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

Our commentary this week after being out for a while touched base on why we've been out of the mix for a little while (lots of press event travels), our time at AfroPunk, the utter bulls**t that is the accusations of Black Americans doing "cultural appropriation" of Africans, the passing of musicians Kool DJ AJ & Rico Rodriguez of The Specials, the $6.4 million dollar settlement given to Freddie Grays's family and updates on that course case, the latest rounds U.S. presidential candidate foolishness & pandering (from Hilary Clinton, Donald Trump & other folks), our VERY different viewpoints on Macklemore's "Downtown" & Melle Mel's comments about how younger/more famous Hip-Hop heads should put old school heads on and some other things here and there.

Our commentary during that week's show focused on the passing & musical importance of DJs/producers DJ Rashad & DJ E-Z Rock, the FCC trying to screw around with Net Neutrality once again, a ton of "post-racial America is a lie (and for a lot of folks, cowardice is the truth)" news (including the latest Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action in Michigan, recent race shenanigans with NBA team owner Donald Sterling of the L.A. Clippers, the Ku Klux Klan trying to rebrand itself and more) along with some other things here & there.
