From: Davey D
Date: Apr 30, 2008 4:46 PM




We caught up with dead prez two days after the horrific Sean Bell verdict which acquitted the police officers who shot him 5o times. The group had just given a rousing performance in Amhearst, Mass and took time out to break down how we should be viewing things in the aftermath. Both M-1 and Stic said they weren't surprised by the verdict because America has a history of never administering justice to those they oppress.


We also caught up long time activist Rosa Clemente, Hip Hop Pioneer Popmaster Fabel and former Presidential candidate Jared Ball.
All of them offered up keen insight and overstanding to the Sean Bell situation and police terrorism..

We also premiered a new song from rapper Jasiri X about Sean Bell
