Well, you will have to listen right to the end of this show to know what I am talking about! First off, thank you for the positive feedback on My Lens. Hope you enjoy this months show as much as you enjoyed the last one (if not more). On this months show, we look at the ways that Hip Hop has enacted political change, and present a report from the National Hip Hop 'Political Convention, featuring voices from The Pioneers and Powerbrokers of Hip Hop Culture'. Voices featured include: DJ Paradise, formerly of the X Clan (remember the African pendants that everyone wore back in the day? He is one of the people responsible for making us think they were smart and cool - which they were...), King Kamonzi of the Universal Zulu Nation, David Nelson, one of the founding members of The Last Poets - the group that many cite as a bedrock of modern conscious Hip Hop Culture - and the first group to freestyle and Davey D, Hip Hop journalist. In the second part of the show, we touch base with WANLOV, the Romanian-born, Ghanaian-bred rapper about the influence US Hip Hop had on his career, his politics and much more. Check it out, its a good 'un - but please note, that ONE of the songs uses language that might cause offense. Hey - its better that we let you know, right??!
