one of the best groups in all of hip-hop!

Man I gotta say this was a pleasure to listen too. I could feel the comraderie of these guys. I had the pleasure of meeting them in my communications class at Bowie State University in the late 90s. They were cool then and still cool now.

Great interview.We still talk about their concert in London in '92. Classic.

Xmas Jollies 2022

As world leaders from the Global South convene in South Africa for the BRICS Summit this week, the West is watching closely. 23 countries have applied to join Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa in the grouping, which is focused on trade and development in their regions — typically dominated by colonizing powers in Europe and the United States. Where is BRICS headed and what unifies the grouping?

Brian Becker is joined by Mikaela Nhondo Erskog, member of secretariat of Pan Africanism Today, researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, member of No Cold War, and host of the podcast The Crane: An Africa-China podcast coming from the DongSheng News collective.
