Yesterday marked another successful run of Somebody Scream! (The Radio Show) as part of the WBAI's bi-annual Hip Hop Takeover marathon. Following a summer of preparation, I'm proud to say it was another great program. Guest included journalists Akiba Solomon and Ta-Nehisi Coates. The discussion centered on the political climate leading into the presidential election as well as the history being made during this election. In between the talk, DJ RPGEEZ provided the mix, doing turntable tributes to Public Enemy and the late Isaac Hayes. Thanks to the producer of the Hip Hop Takeover Ifé Dancey for, again, including Somebody Scream in the marathon's line-up. And this year, we added a give-a-way for listeners who received, what else, a copy of my book. Below are posted two MP3 files of the show because, as part of the marathon, the show preempted two regular WBAI shows in the middle. But check out the show and let me know what you think.
