Hip Politics

What are Black millennials saying about the 2020 race? Is Joe Biden to old and out of touch? Does mayor Pete know my struggle? Senator Amy who? Is Kamala Harris still the feds? We ask these questions and more as we dive deep with Maya J Boddie, the senior political reporter for the leading Black millennial media outlet, Blavity. And of course we got Maya on record with her top 5 dead or alive.

In episode 14, we dive into the historic congressional hearings on reparations. Will this mean anything or is this the start of a process that is going lead to Black folks getting a check. We also celebrate and explore hip hop legend, Scarface aka Brad Jordan, and his run for city council in Houston.

We sat down with the Maryland Democratic Party Communication Director Arinze Ifekauche to talk 2020 cycle and what candidates need to do to match the authentic energy of the electorate. We also get into a heated debate over which Outkast album was the best and most important.
