Ep 122: Black Lives Matter Jun 05, 2020

Show notes

Black Lives Matter. Punto. The fact that the police as an institution are a gang of racial terror isn’t new - but the uprisings, from Minneapolis to Lousville to cities across the globe have forced the world to reckon with this reality once again. We know we owe you new music, but from the legacy of the African diaspora on all our favorite genres to our communities’ deeply entrenched anti-Blackness, we can’t stay silent. Featuring music by ChocQuibTown, Los Rakas and Canelita Medina.
