Summary
This week, the hosts chop it up with Colorado-based hip hop duo The Reminders, made up of Brussels-born emcee Big Samir and Queens-native emcee/vocalist Aja Black. They discuss their musico-political roots, the influences of their diasporic experiences on their ideology and aesthetics, and unpack the impacts of colonization, sexism, and other systemic forces on their lyrical stylings.
