In the spirit of MLK and after playing a set at Into Action this weekend I found a few albums that shaped identity and questioned authority in sonic form. Gems from Bad Brains, J Cole, Fela and Louis Armstrong are featured.

Also, new found gems from 30/70 (Melbourne), Cautious Clay (Thanks Karli Hustle), Black Milk (KCRW supporter), Jonny Greenwood (This guy can do no wrong) and lots more. hope you enjoy! In honor of the late great Joe Frank, later in the 2 hour we hear selections from his work entitled Prayer. Also another inspiration was Michael Mixxin’ Moor who served as CNN to the streets during his early 90’s radio program on KCRW.

Also – new Stormzy, Evidence, Cut Chemist, Mr. Carmack, Rob Roy, Tyron & Ayomari, Khruangbin  + more.
Catch you next Monday night. Enjoy!
