We had the legendary Myka 9 on The Truth Hurts, sharing stories about Eazy-E, 2Pac, trying to battle Run D.M.C. at Wendy's and the formation of Freestyle Fellowship. Plus, his thoughts on spirituality, jazz, creativity, and his latest opus with Blu.

Hahahaaha. Feeling this for real. Luckily, I’ve recently closed my business and am now free of many of the looming things…

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

The Plymouth County Correctional Facility is the only ICE detention center in Massachusetts and the linchpin to ICE's infrastructure in New England. It seems like the easiest way to weaken this infrastructure is for the Mass. legislature to pass a law terminating any county-level contracts with ICE.

"This is the land of the 'sonideros,' DJs who collect cumbia and tropical music records and appeared on the scene in the 1960s. To this day, they bring their equipment to clubs and street parties."

Jose Catarino Vazquez Villegas and his grandson, Jesus Alejandro, pose for a portrait at their home in the Independencia neighborhood on Aug. 9, 2023. Vazquez is a renowned sonidero, or cumbia DJ, in La Independencia.
