First, Dr. Victor Del Hierro talks about his recent article "DJs, Playlists, and Community: Imagining Communication Design through Hip Hop." Then, Alabama-bred rapper Black Native (https://blacknative.bandcamp.com/) talks about his message as a southern artist. The episode also features clips from three Black Native songs: Black Confederate, DSA PSA feat. Shaz & Frank Yeiger, and Undivided Attention.
