Something that landed in the inbox today - kind of fitting: "From the cracker fat cats who profit off the poverty, to the hippie 'revolutionaries' who bitch about the system over bong rips, No Humans Allowed has no sympathy, no mercy and no patience for anyone on Independence Day. This song is about living in the aftermath of an empire that's been gutted before the peasants even realized what happened. Happy 4th of July!".
I try to annually do a mix for the Fourth of July and/or 9/11, helping people put shit into perspective. While I would probably never leave the US on some permanent living shit, it's hard to sit by and celebrate the nation when shit's so fucked up. That's where Reggie Revolution comes in; he is tired of it, too, and this is his mix for your cookouts. It weaves a pretty solid journey, bringing up issues of inner city crime, racism and other topics, all to help motivate those who might want to revolt to do so. We've got jams from Gerald Walker, Skream, Donae'o, Elucid and many others. Grab a styrofoam plate, load it up, grab a brew (or a dutch) and cool out to this. Shouts to @EnigmatikBGDB for the help, as per usual.
If you're not up on who Mic Geronimo is, do your fucking homework. Veteran right here. And he dropped a dope EP for the Independence Day festivities.

As an annual staple on rock the dub, here is my mix for July 4th. With what's gone on in Black America this year, I figured I had to cover two subjects: Obama for President and Sean Bell. I didn't think I could do this in a CD-length (i.e. under 80 minute) timeframe, so here's a 90-minute mixtape (split up into 45 minute mixes) for your cassette decks. Yes we took it back.Side A
