Tag: Run the Jewels 2

Good news in dark times, Run The Jewels (El-P and Killer Mike) have released their fourth Run The Jewels album early as a download. It's free, but I strongly suggest you click 'Add to Cart' and then donate to the Mass Defence Program given all the mass arrests and horrifying police brutality in the US over the Black Lives Matter/George Floyd protests, as all proceeds from the download sales go to them. EDIT: Listened to RTJ4 twice in a row, three songs give you 'a Vonnegut punch to your Atlas shrugs' with their power and timeliness. Walking in the snow where Killer Mike talks about #icantbreathe, pulling the pin (Mavis Staples!) and a few words for the firing squad (radiation). https://www.youtube.com/watch?vGG8LcqR1kqw I didn't 'black out' this site yesterday on #blackouttuesday in protest to the murder of George Floyd and protest police brutality (quite hard to do that without hacking a lot of code) but I did over at my Instagram and Facebook and posted art I created relating to Black Lives Matter. And the Radio Clash Twitter is amplifying all the information, black voices, events and notices re: the protests. This site and allied social media has always called out police brutality, especially in the UK, and not going to stop now. As well as trying to showcase a diverse range of music from all minority communities. But yes Clara Amfo I hear you, I see you - I would be a hypocrite if I just took the rhythm without the blues, if I took the music and didn't stand up to oppose the brutalising of black bodies, the amazing people who make the music and art I love so much. We want ALL of you, not just your culture or work. We want everyone to be welcome, all in and start the party. Or protest. Or both, which is the best kind! But that's not all, I am working on the next podcast to focus on black and queer protest and resistance, radical responses to oppression that inspired the Civil Rights movement and then us LGBTQ, Northern Ireland and second wave feminists to protest for our rights. It's also Pride month and we owe so much to our black BAME queer family for standing up for queer and black rights and showing us the way. It's a small thing I could do, to add my voice and try and educate. For I know as a queer man: we will also be next if they succeed in this - but also it's wrong, I hate bullies and abuse of power from the core of my soul, and know if we stand together united they cannot destroy us,
