join me, won't you?

MISTA VEE x Blue In Green Radio present: CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND

THE SQUEEZE (Main Single)

This is the first in a new monthly series I'm hoping to do for 2022: "Knowledge Breaks." Each episode will be a short mix of breakbeats and samples from my collection, overlaid with excerpts from some of my favorite inspirational, radical people. 

When I was thinking of who to feature first, my partner Bina made the great suggestion of starting with the incredible bell hooks, who sadly passed last month. bell hooks wrote about love, Black liberation, feminism, and so much more. Her book "All About Love" was and is very important to me. I highly recommend everyone seek out her work, especially those involved in the educational or academic fields.  Many of the interviews that I excerpted on this tape were from a series hosted by the New School, and I hope everyone checks out the full episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/c/thenewschool/search?query=bell%20hooks

There is no way to do justice to legendary people like bell hooks in such a short little mix. These are just a few excerpts I found compelling. The goal of this mixtape series is after a year, have a nice little compilation of voices, beats, breaks and knowledge. I hope everyone digs it, and searches out more from all of those featured. Please share!
