Conscious Music Party, RBG muisc, & Movement Music.
Today, as always, we pay homage to Soul Brotha #1/The Godfather of Soul/Mr. Dynamite otherwise known as James Brown! He rose from the deepest of hard times to achieve historic stardom.

He leads with his heart […]
Black August Resistance 2021!! The Concept of Black August grew out of the Black Liberation Prison Resistance Movement. Black August is NOT a celebration, but a COMMEMORATION and honoring of the Warriors, Freedom Fighters and Black Liberators who have fought behind the walls against this New Slavery with the Prison Industrial Complex, and within the Afrikan Liberation movements worldwide. The work of George Jackson has been a source of inspiration, […]
