Side A x9 = Gypsy HopFi Fusion BURLESQUE Edition
Side B x10 = Psychedelic Americana BLUES Edition

I was listening to my "S.S. is for Sacred Sp3rm" EP when I saw yet another one of those daily terrifying #breakingnews social media posts, listing #books recently #banned from the (remaining) U.S. Public Schools and Libraries #circa2025 
1. The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
2. Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley
3. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
4. 1984 by George Orwell
5. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
6. The perks of being a wallflower, by Stephen Chbovsky
7. The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison 
8. Sold by Patricia McCormick
9. Maus by Art Spiegelman
10. An African and Latinx History of the United States by Paul Ortiz

So then, I had to write a "B.B. is for BANNED BOOKS" song, to honor my favorite authors on this list, because WOW... HOW freaking SCARY of an #americanhorror #truestory IS THAT?!

@bananasutra lyrics:

[Intro]
They banned the truth for being rude…
But baby, rude is how we bloom.
So light me up, librarian lover…
and read me harder.
B.B. is for Banned Books,
and Badass Brains.

[Verse 1 – Harper Lee & Art Spiegelman]
Harper told me, “Mock me, kill me,” still I sing,
Truth’s a mockingbird with wings.
Art drew the pain, a mouse in flame,
He said, “Remember, never tame.”
You can ban my ink, but not my roar,
I’ll scratch your walls, and write some more.

[Chorus]
They banned the books but not the beat,
Banned the thought but not the heat,
Banned the love but not the street.
So read me, baby, read me sweet!
If thinking’s sin, I’ll take the blame,
Desire and truth are one and same.

[Verse 2 – Aldous Huxley & Margaret Atwood]
Aldous whispered, “Take your soma, stay asleep,”
But sugar, freedom don’t come cheap.
Atwood smirked, “Blessed be the fruit,”
Then laced her boots and staged a coup.
Pop your soma, hush your fear,
But holy lust still lights us clear.

[Bridge – George Orwell & Ray Bradbury]
Big Brother’s watching, Ray lit the spark,
Said, “Burn the dark, not those who mark.”
Orwell winked through smoke and steam,
“Truth’s a thoughtcrime, love’s the dream.”
You can’t delete what won’t forget,
We’re the match they can’t reset.

[Final Chorus]
They banned the books but not the beat,
Banned the thought but not the heat,
Banned the love but not the street.
So read me, baby, read me sweet!
Truth’s taboo, but damn, it’s neat,
Come turn the page with me.

[Outro]
For Harper Lee, Art Spiegelman, Aldous Huxley, Margaret Atwood,
George Orwell, and Ray Bradbury,
for every mind they tried to muzzle.
We see you.
We feel you.
And we’ll keep reading you harder.

Bluntskull - Straight Raggamuffin Hip Hop Mixtape Vol. 1

My guest this week is Mark Iration. I drove up to the High Rise Studio in Leeds where we sat down to talk about how he started out in music, the birth of Iration Steppas and how Mark and the crew evolved into one of the most successful & highly influential sound systems out there. I’ve known Mark a long time so, it was great to sit down and talk through his life in dub and hear about buying records in long since closed record shops and being king of the ghetto blaster in Leeds.
