Day 26. I've been casually following this band for ~15 years and today I bought tickets to see them live for the first time! Seattle afro-funk band, this record helped me thru the pandemic.

#MusicChallenge 15 years of "Free Leonard Peltier: Hip Hop's Contribution To The Freedom Campaign." 1st listen. This is dope, and it's wild that Peltier is now finally free. Strong mix of spoken word, hip-hop and Native American music. A bevy of great rappers and musicians involved. One of my faves:
Buggin Malone - Peltier's Beat Goes On
