Digga' Crazy - Breaktober Mix Vol. 2

November is National Hip Hop History Month, honoring a movement born in the African-American and Latino communities of the Bronx in 1973. Hip hop has always been more than music — it’s a global cultural force blending DJing, beatboxing, sampling, and lyrical storytelling, while shaping art, language, fashion, and activism.

On this episode of ENGAGE Radio, we explore hip hop’s roots, reach, and relevance today with reflections from some extraordinary guests and members of the WESU Hip Hop Community:
•	Akua Naru – internationally acclaimed hip hop artist and Assistant Professor of Music at UC Santa Cruz - https://www.akua-naru.com/ 
•	Bobito Garcia – hip hop cultural pioneer, producer, writer, filmmaker, and distinguished Wesleyan alumnus. https://koolboblove.com/ 
• Open i - Based in Middletown, Connecticut, open i crafts beat-based hip-hop and instrumental tapes that embrace a raw, hands-on aesthetic. https://openi.bandcamp.com/ 
His recent August 2025 LP elephant.314 is billed simply as a “labor of love music.”
• DJ Sabotage - A WESU community volunteer DJ who has been spinning “boom bap” hip hop for over 25 years.  
** This episode features excerpts from the Open i mixtape "Mean Streets" interwoven throughout he program. Many thanks to Open i for his support. 

Together, our guests offer an array of unique perspectives on how hip hop continues to inspire creativity, connection, and change, from Middletown to the world.
