My guest today is Mic Crenshaw. Mic is a hip hop activist, organizer, and MC, who is based in Portland, Oregon. He used to be the front man of Hungry Mob and has since published various CDs, including “Thinking Out Loud” and “Under the Sun”. Before that, Mic was part of an anti-racist skinhead crew in Minneapolis, which was the topic of a recent PBS program, called “The Baldies”. We talk about being a skinhead, about hip hop in the US and Africa, and about Black man in overwhelmingly white cities.
