Our Brooklyn studios are shut down but were not letting that keep us from coming together! This is a special edition to hold us down until next week, when Ill start streaming live again from the home studio. Much appreciate everyone who keeps tuning in and joining us. Were gonna ride this out, together!

Here at long last is our Ill Doctrine Radio from 2-8-20, with the finest in old and new hip-hop as always, and a special conversation with the hip-hop veteran, author/filmmaker/journalist/award winning campaign writer Thembisa S. Mshaka, who shared her thoughts on all the complex conversations around Kobe Bryant and his legacy.

On this episode of Ill Doctrine Radio we celebrate making it through the longest month of whats shaping up the longest year, with music from Sly the Family Stone, Wilma Archer ft/ MF Doom, Open Mike Eagle, Foreign Beggars, Otis Redding, Phantogram, Tiye Phoenix, and more (and then even more more)

This is our mix from the day after Neil Peart of Rush passed, and we started it out with a special blend/mashup in his honor.

Our first show for 2020 comes on the heels of dark and troubling news, and weve got a full plate of musical nourishment to get ready for a looonng year with lots of work to do. A serving of anti-war funk from Jay Smooth, and a guest mix from Bondfires own Macedonia.

A classic yuletide set from our own DJ 3D, along with a little balance for the more humbug-oriented among us.
