In this episode 35 of Streets and Scholars with Frank "FG" Thornton and Alex Alonso they discuss:

1. Rapper D3, who was featured on YG's latest single, "How to Rob a Rapper" with Mozzy, calls into Streets and Scholars and explains that this song was in the works, way before Philadelphia rapper PnB Rock was robbed and killed in Los Angeles. 

2. Bishop Lamor Whitehead who was wearing over $1 million in jewelry when he was broadcasting his sermon live on Facebook was robbed from his church in Brooklyn, New York in July. The robbery was captured on video and looked unusual, but two men were recently arrested by the NYPD and ATF. 

3. The murder convictions of two Black men in northern California were vacated after a judge ruled that the introduction of rap lyrics and racialized rhetoric violated the new Racial Justice Act a law designed to limit racism within the criminal justice system.

Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed the new law that limits the use of rap lyrics in criminal court cases and amateur rappers Gary Bryant Jr. and Diallo Jackson were the first to benefit from the new law, but prosecutors still have the option to retry the two. 

4. Mexican American Los Angeles City Council members, Nury Martinez, Gil Cedillio and Kevin DeLeon were all heard on a secretly leaked audio making disparaging remarks about Mike Bonin another council member. They also made several anti-black comments and community members have called for all three LA council member to resign.
