I received an email from a reader asking me to showcase this video from Jasiri X regarding the current events in America, including the campaign. I’ve heard his music before and for those who listen to the Michael Baisden Show he gets a lot of love and support from them also.

While some may want to focus on the negative side of hip-hop, I like to showcase those who have a message. Whether that message is one of hope or one detailing life from a point-of-view we tend to ignore, you can’t deny the impact its had on our society. It’s an outlet and when used in the right way can really be used to make a difference.
