The Musubi Boyz are together — by way of Zoom. Adam recaps everything East Los Musubi with Doreen related, serving the community. Jordan discusses all things Productive Culture and working from home life. Mike Rawk breaks down Essential Saturdays and his efforts to raise funds for small businesses and in turn, feed Essential workers and Front-liners. The gang talks about what they've been cooking at home while under shelter in place and quarantine.

In this episode, The Musubi Boyz sit down with Joelskee. Long time DJ and community builder with a lot of love for the small businesses and establishments that serve delicious food. So much love for the food, he was coordinating several events and festivals so everyone can come out and support.  We dive into his origin story with his dancing days, the love for music, family, community, and monthly residencies with the almighty DP Sound Crew. We bad-mouth Yelp, weak Yelp reviews along with the continued appropriation of indigenous cultures.

The Musubi Boyz get together and remember the late great Kobe Bryant, his legacy, and the other families involved in the tragic accident. A major subject the fellas touch on is MSG! Get schooled in some of the research we've dug up and come to your own conclusion. We also drop a few music, food, and show gems of content for you to check out!

Post recording our 24th (Ironic, because it's one of Kobe's retired jersey numbers) on Sunday, Jan. 26th, we learned of a helicopter accident that took place in Calabasas, CA that involved the passing of Los Angeles Laker Legend, Kobe Bryant; his daughter, Gigi Bryant; Payton Chester, Sarah Chester, Alyssa Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, John Altobelli, Christina Mauser, and Ara Zobayan. We want to take the time and acknowledge these individuals that were on their way to a basketball tournament at the Mamba Academy in Newbury Park, CA.

On behalf of the Productive Culture and Street Eats & Dope Beats family, we want to extend our heartfelt condolences and our sympathy to all the families affected by this recent tragedy.

In this episode, The Musubi Boyz sit down with ARod. Former host of The Hip-Hop Show that aired on public access television in the early 2000s that focused on the Underground Hip-Hop culture and movement in Los Angeles and across the nation.
