Well…
This is a waking nightmare.
Apparently, Sacha Jenkins passed away. The same Sacha Jenkins who was behind the influential magazine Ego Trip that became books then TV specials before pivoting into documentaries, docuseries’ & films. I was but one of many writers inspired by his work…

Man…
. @hiphophenry.bsky.social and I often lament Richmond not being as weird as it used to be
🧵 up and down. Especially relevant for #RVA as gentrification forces us into commercializating our weird shit yet ruins the very culture that made it a desirable place.

Around 2012…when I realized he was gonna sing full time
