This is the latest episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of July 31, 2013 (originally aired on December 1, 2009) with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary.

Our commentary this week focused on what seems to be the week of knocking down the "Magic Negro" mystique (yet not wanting to really deal with competant and human tendencies in Black People) in mainstream media with the coverage of Tiger Woods' infidelity and U.S. President Barack Obama's Speech on escalating the war front in Afghanistan. We also touched on World AIDS Day along with some other things here and there.









We also had another great interview with author, political strategist, econonomist, journalist and business consultant Cedric Muhammad (http://www.CedricMuhammad.com).

We talked about his latest book series, "The Entrepreneurial Secret: Starting A Business Without A Bank Loan, Collateral or Revenue" (http://www.theEsecret.com) with questions on everything from who is the audience he's reaching out for with this work, how the book's information ties into the current national and international economy today, the Hip-Hop Generation and business, some of the stereotypes about how to start a successful business, having a good team behind you for success, some of his other past & current ventures (including writing the weekly Hip-HopPreneur article series for AllHipHop.com) and other things!

There are new episodes of Black Agenda Report and Direct EFX segments this week.

John Conyers (Democrat - Michagan) is trying to pass through the U.S. Congress called HR848, that if it passes, will have various NEW music costs are passed on to all sorts of FM radio station owners, with the high possibility that great deal of Black-owned Radio Stations (and just regular radio station period) to shut down due to various economic issues. We talked about the potential impact this could have culturally in the U.S. for not just the Black Community, but for the music community at large from music artists, to listeners and others.



We also had a great interview with independent Hip-Hop MC, producer, graphic artist & activist Ravage the MeccaGodzilla (http://www.ravagenrumble.com).

We covered everything from Ravage's influences, being one of the founders of G.A.ME (the Grassroots Artists MovEment) in NYC, his history with the music industry from being a member of the supercollective Monsta Island Czars (MF Doom, MF Grimm, etc.) and beyond, Ravage's vision of the growth of Hip-Hop & where it needs to go, his latest album project (the "Erroars" production LP) & upcoming music situation, the international scene and more!

PLUS Some Extra Special Hidden Tracks in the Jon Judah Master Mix w/ Old School Black Music Classics and Independent Music Finds

This is a flashback episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah [due to us currently being in Toronto to perform at this year's North by Northeast (NXNE) festivities] for the weeks of June 5 & 12, 2013 (originally broadcast on Feb. 2, 2011) featuring some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary from that time.

Our commentary that week focused on updates with the internet- & street-based political protests/revolutions occurring in Egypt, the possible return on of ex-president Jean-Bertrand Aristede to Haiti, DJ Kool Herc's recent illness & the need for Health Care in more ways than one with musicians, the National Black Theater in Harlem & it's current debt issues and some more diverse topics here and there.



During that week's episode we had a great interview with Hip-Hop Legend Kool G Rap (http://www.KoolGRap4Ever.com).

Some of the topics we covered in this in depth interview with the long established & classic Hip-Hop MC include his various creative influences, the drastic need for balance in Hip-Hop music and the media outlets in general, some of Kool G Rap's peraonal favorite MCs, DJs & producers, memories of Mr. Magic (R.I.P.) & the Juice Crew, how he feels about fans criticizing Hip-Hop artists for not being "street" enough for cred, Kool G Rap's upcoming "Offer You Can't Refuse" EP & the "Riches, Royalty & Respect" album projects dropping this eyar along with lots more!

We will have brand new Black Agenda Report, Free Press "Media Minutes" and Black University Radio Network (B.U.R.N.) Direct EFX mini-segments in next week's syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast episode.

PLUS Some Extra Special Hidden Tracks in the Jon Judah Master Mix w/ Old School Black Music Classics

This is a flashback episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah [due to us getting ready for our trip to perform at this year's North by Northeast (NXNE) festivities] for the week of May 29, 2013 (originally broadcast on June 3, 2009) featuring some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary from that time.

The commentary from that week's episode focused on the recent so-called "reverse racist" controversy of the Sotomayor nomination for the U.S. Supreme Court, the passing of academic Dr. Ivan Van Sertima (R.I.P.) and some other things here and there.



We had a great interview with author Thembisa Mshaka about her latest book about the ins and outs of the entertainment industry for women (and just people in general) called "Put Your Dreams First: Handle Your [entertainment] Business".

Some of the topics we went over with Ms. Mshaka included how a lot of women are in the entertainment business behind the scenes, the importance of having a solid mentor for assistance in getting into the industry, the mentality of the "microwave" (a.k.a.) way to stardom and how that is false, balancing your personal and professional life and a lot of other interesting things!

Due to the length of the interview, we did not have new Black Agenda Report or Direct EFX segments that week.
