On this episode of Hard Knock Radio, host Davey D sits down with activist and artist Jasiri X to explore the political landscape in key battleground states ahead of the upcoming election. They discuss the inflammatory and racially charged remarks made at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, examining their impact on Black and Brown communities. Jasiri X also delves into the recent “Summit on Black and Brown Men and the Vote,” held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania—a historic event that gathered influential voices to address political empowerment for marginalized communities. This three-part series, produced in partnership with Breakbeat Media, the Hip-Hop Political Education Summit, and 1Hood Media, features powerful discussions with iconic figures, including EGOT winner Viola Davis and Hip-Hop legend Fat Joe.
