Hope for hip hop: @J_Live3TP aka J-Live
I did something different here and made it an all hip hop night. I’ve said before that, as people who support progressive black music, it’s important not to forget that we must also support those progressive voices in hip hop. I know I’ve got to be better at this. But it’s ridiculous to believe that this music will ever change if we don’t support those who are trying to create substantive work. It’s that simple.
Also, I had a great conversation with Keith Josef Adkins of the New Black Fest. He comes in about halfway through.
Anyway, here’s the playlist for the night (song/artist/album):
- The Carpenter Homeboy Sandman The Good Sun
- Dying to Live feat. John Forté Blitz the Ambassador StereoLive
- HBE SPOTTIE Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
- Thieves In The Night Black Star Black Star
- Think Of One Robert Glasper Double Booked
- The 4th 3rd J-Live All Of The Above
- Let It Rattle P.O.S. Never Better
- The Pocket Tabi Bonney A Fly Guy’s Theme
