The impact that Assata Shakur has on me as a man is immeasurable. She is one of the most important Black revolutionaries to have ever lived. My daughter Diani recited one of her speeches as an intro for my latest album with Madlib, Liberation 2. Rest in power sister Assata. youtu.be/joD3kNzRphE?...

Ramadan is a time for disciplining the ego (nafs) and the appetites.

The spiritual teachings of West African Sufi masters provide centuries of practical wisdom that we can use to strengthen our collective resistance.

This is NOT self-centered contemporary individualist ‘spirituality.’

I used to laugh at the "I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread" Bilbo line, but boy do I get it now
Yo, Alchemist is not playing right now. Hearing Yasiin over Keep It Thoro? Mathematics Remix is crazy.
Lmao Yasiin is hilarious. Don't make it weird, nerd.

We need resistance art more than ever now. It uplifts and shines a light on marginalized communities. It helps to combat injustice, it disarms evil and it pushes us closer to the right side of history.
Yasiin Bey and Alchemist never disappoint. I can't wait to listen to this project on repeat. #yasiinbey #alchemist #forensics
Damn, they saying Irv Gotti passed. RIP if true.
I'm glad you liked it! There's two more in the series and the second book might be my favorite. The Strangers breaks down the whole family dynamic of one of the main characters in The Break.
This has been the craziest blizzard I've ever seen in my 32 years of life. Went to open a door and almost crushed my hand between the door and a rail, the wind was coming so fast.
RIP David Lynch. Always loved his movies.
God is sufficient and the best disposer of affairs 🤲🏽

Praying a ceasefire actually happens and is actually honored.

Somber condolences to all who needlessly and tragically lost loved ones.

Sincere congratulations to the resistance who humiliated IOF cowards.

Ceasefire is not the goal. The goal is the total liberation of Palestine & the end of Empire

The war will end
The leaders will shake hands
That old woman will wait for her martyred son
That girl will wait for her beloved husband
And those children will wait for their heroic father
I do not know who sold our homeland
But I saw who paid the price

Shout out to my homie Max for gifting me this for my birthday a few years back. The only cup a Trini Gladiator should be drinking coffee from.
Kneecap was one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Hilarious and inspiring. Makes me want to learn Irish Gaelic for my ancestors 🇮🇪

@lornavbennett.bsky.social thank you for the follow! Protoje and the Indiggnation have been major influences on me musically for the past decade 🙌🏽

I try to be hopeful; maybe seeing LA transformed into a blazing hellscape and reduced to smoldering rubble by corporate greed and political corruption will stir sleeping liberals.

but 15 months of deranged slaughter in one of the holiest places on earth for the two largest world religions hasn’t.
Damn! It's like that sometimes. I'm happy there's people in my corner who remind me why I started writing in the first place. Sometimes it's easy to forget or feel like it's never good enough.
