On April 29, 1992 Los Angeles went up in flames. After 4 White Police Officers were found not guilty after brutality beating Black motorist Rodney King. The beating was, for once, caught on video.

At the time, LA hip hop was not only banging, it was also speaking about police abuse in the inner city.

This mix is a reflection of the music of the time, commentary by activists and artists now and then. Enjoy and please comment and share.

Uprising LA- 20 Years Later Mix brought to you by DJ Sloe Poke and Chicharron.
