Each and every Tuesday of course you can catch Blackademics, the program hosted by Shani Jamila with beats by DJ 2 Tone Jones. Our show focuses on critically analyzing the intellectual and cultural work of hip hop generationers. We work to contextualize social justice issues within an intergenerational and international framework. Since our launch last year we have taken on topics like the State of the Hip Hop Union, the History of Radical Black Journalism, and Cultural Accountability in Artistic Production. Our guests have included artists like Dick Gregory, jessica Care moore-Poole, HeadRoc, and Thomas Sayers Ellis; authors like Dr. William Jelani Cobb, Dr. Clarence Lusane, Dave Zirin, and Bakari Kitwana; and activists from around the world including Kimmie Weeks (Liberia), Kadija Sesay (England), Malia Lazu, and James Early. We've also featured commentaries from Amiri Baraka, Elaine Brown, and Davey D among others. And the music- PE, Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Amel Larrieux, Saul Williams, Tribe, Paris, Lauryn, Mos, Kweli, Jean Grae, Little Brother, Orishas, Asheru and the Els, mad local artists, global hip hop, and quality cuts you've never ever heard.
