FuseBox Radio Broadcast

Due to some out of state creative work travels during the 2 past weekends with the crew, here's a FLASHBACK episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast for the weeks of June 13 & 20, 2018 [originally broadcast on the week of February 24, 2010] with some new and classic music from the international Black Diaspora, news and commentary. That week's show commentary focused on a whole range of things, from how folks feel about the need and relevancy of a "Black Agenda" in U.S. politics (especially in the eyes of some, with a man of Black descent in office), the latest situation in Australia with the treatment of the Aborigines, how quality R&B represented in the recent Billboard charts with Sade & Jaheim's sales numbers and some other things here and there. Also during that week's episode, we had a great interview with one of Hip-Hop's dope long lasting MCs, Philadelphia's own Freeway (https://twitter.com/PhillyFreezer). Some of the topics we've touched base during the interview included Freeway's musical & environmental influences, the influence of Islam in his spiritual & physical life, what creatively sparks Freeway in making music & those to work with, how he built with producer Jake One and come up with "The Stimulus Package" LP (in all stores now), advice about the music industry and lots more!

Here is the latest & BRAND NEW special mini-episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk for the week of May 23, 2018. This week's show was recorded live at Moogfest 2018 in Durham, NC where we interviewed producer, singer, MC & businesswoman SassyBlack about her rising career as an independent musican overall, her latest music releases, the creative process (on technical and other levels), breaking boundaries & stereotypes (including those imposed by others as being a queer identified Black Woman creative), the dope evolution of popular culture, the Pacific Northwest's music scene and more!

This is the latest & BRAND NEW special episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk for the weeks of May 2 & 9, 2018 where due to a pretty hectic news week we decided to drop a quick commentary show before the official full-length episode of music and tunes. Some of the things we touched base on included: * recent updates on the insanity related to the Universal FanCon cancellation * Kanye West's latest PR antics (from the entire TMZ "slavery is a choice" debacle, Twitter political foolery, his lazy contrarianism with "free thought", etc.), his playing a VERY dangerous game with these latest moves and the various kinds of blowback * Bill Cosby finally being found guilty in a court of law for indecent assault * the aspect that various celebrities on multiple levels play on one's empathy with a community - based on race, cultural commonalities, etc. - to keep doing f*ckery with various ways of behavior on small and large levels so that they can hold onto fame, get sales, etc. * the sexism involved with how some celebrities can get away with certain behaviors and others cannot * how lack of historical context - distant past to recent - with how to view the world & minimal desire to learn on one's own is VERY dangerous * the disturbing amount of folks can't admit that their favorite famous folks are human and f*ck up, no matter how great their art, philosophies, etc. are to the point of defending EVERYTHING they do to the point of idolatry (ex. Black folks literally debating slavery and how folks could've gotten out of it due to what Kanye West said) * how folks felt about the Childish Gambino "This Is America" music video and song * various TV folks have watched lately (including CW's "Black Lightening") * various news stories of note (including the young Black ladies who entered a NASA contest and got racists mad online; the Native American students who were discriminated against at Colorado State University during a college tour and then some) * our mini-reviews of Marvel's "Avengers: Infinity War" (full of spoilers) * And more!
