Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to the latest edition of the woke bros, of course.

I'm your co-host, Big Wasa, K.A. Wazney Lambray.

Nando Vila is not here today, but we have a very, very, very special guest in the building, man.

I've very recently become a big fan of a lot of his work in the digital media space.

Professor Jared Ball is a professor of communications in Africana Studies at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, and author of the myth and propaganda of black buying power.

Ball is also a host of the podcast. I mix what I like.

Co-founder of Black Power Media, which can be found at blackpowermedia.org, and his decades of

journalism, media writing, and political work can be found at iMix What I Like.org. Welcome to the show,

Dr. Ball. No, thank you for having me. It's an honor. I appreciate you. Of course, man. Just so folks understand, I'm a big, big fan of the folks that

This is Revolution. I count those guys as my buddies, Jason Miles, Pascal Robert. Those are my people.

And I remember you were up there one day.

And I was like, man, this guy is really astute and just on it.

And so I started watching a lot of your stuff on Black Power Media.

And so, you know, pretty much anytime your stuff pops up on my YouTube, I'm, I'm watching this stuff.

By the way, incredible, incredible Malcolm X's assassination interview with Baba Zach.

That was so informative and entertaining, quite frankly, man.

It's funny when, you know, in the media space with academics,

a lot of people know what they're talking about but are not compelling speakers.

That brother Baba Zach, he is a compelling speaker.

And so are you.

And so thank you for coming on the show today. And what I wanted to

get with you first is about this PBS documentary on hip hop. You know, it's Black History Month.
