This was another great edition of iMiXWHATiLiKE! We had M1 of Dead Prez, Head-Roc, Dr. Hate, Claude Marks of the Freedom Archives and Dhoruba bin-Wahad all discussing radical politics, culture and political prisoners! We paid tribute to the Cuban 5, Yuri Kochiyama, Mabel Williams, Fred Ho and others while updating bin-Wahad’s police brutality case and the ignoble involvement in that case of the NAACP and Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. All this plus a dope show-closing freestyle cipher session!
