Rebellious Knowledge Archives

This is a record that was produced to promote Nina Simone's album "Black Gold." It is mostly an "open ended" interview with Nina Simone, where a radio DJ could read questions from a script on their show, and then Simone would "answer" them via playing the record. Because of this, when you listen you'll only hear Simone's answers. There are also musical snippets throughout the record from the album.

Nina Simone Interview And Music

This record contains statements and interviews with Angela Davis, as well as interviews with her lawyer Margaret Burnham, journalist Gil Noble and Charlene Mitchell, a member of the New York Committee to free Angela Davis.

Folkways Records, 1971.

Angela Davis Speaks

Hard to find interview by journalist and radio host Art Seigner of Lester Jackson, the father of Black political prisoner, prison organizer and author George Jackson, who was murdered by prison guards in 1971. As written, in part, in the liner notes: "The over-all concern and emphasis is on the point of current prison conditions, where the climate seems unfavorable for the lives of Black controversial prisoners. Every American should hear this discussion, and face the unhappy fact - that this happened in an enlightened, democratic America."

Thoughts and Theories on Soledad Brother George Jackson (Archival Interview)

Latest addition to the Rebellious Knowledge Archives. A rare interview with John Coltrane, included in a 1970s era box set of his work released in Japan. He's asked various questions by the Japanese interviewer, including his thoughts on the Vietnam war and how he views the music he plays. Coltrane rarely gave interviews so it's a real treat to hear him speak, even if it's brief.

RIP the legendary Nikki Giovanni. Here is a great album of her poetry from the 1970s. An excerpt from her liner notes on the back of the cover:

"The reason I like chocolate is when I was in 5th grade 5 cents would buy a Sugar Daddy which would last all day long. It always seemed to me that happy occasions brought forth a chunk of chocolate. I have a fondness also for peppermint but for a different reason.

Some of these poems aren't strictly children's poems but that's because I don't believe children can be strictly categorized. I once gave a birthday party for my son, Tommy, where I served caviar, black bread, salad, and assorted cold meats with a ginger ale punch. 'You know, Nikki,' (all Tommy's friends call me Nikki) a little girl said, 'the reason I like to come to your house is we get grown up food." Maybe. Or maybe she was just saying that the reason she likes chocolate is that it's good."

Changing Currents - 23 September 2025

Brooklyn-based producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist Bad Colours returns with his fourth album on Bastard Jazz, the follow-up to 2024’s collaborative ‘Been Here Before’ with Cor.Ece. This new project marks another evolution for London-born, Maryland-raised, Brooklyn-based artist Ibe Soliman and features a host of talent like Life on Planets, Cor.Ece, Brandon Markell Holmes, Ninjasonik and Jarv Dee and more. 
The album drops in November but right now we have the second single ‘Speed’.  This single features rapper and longtime collaborator KAS, whose slick, confident bars glide over an up-tempo, filtered house groove. It’s rap with polish, presence, and undeniable momentum.
