The political landscape can be confusing, but it doesn't have to be. If you've survived junior high, lived in an urban city or understand gang life, you can understand geopolitics. Join rapper and author Propaganda and his friends as they use their hood-knowledge to break down the political scene.

The G Code with Triune

We're at the halfway point of the year, so I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how Black people are feeling so far in 2024. From Katt Williams to Jasmine Crockett, it turns out, we all decided that we had time this year.
