    The Original OGs Episode #21 -Og Mr. Rick sits down with Khil El Zabar for Part 2 - Jazz - Hip Hop - Rap & Drill - Tune In for this exciting episode Part 2!!

    Part 2 Jazz loves the phrase “elder statesman,” and few artists embody it as fully as Kahil El’Zabar. The “elder” part is easy: He has spent decades making music. But “statesman” suggests something larger—an artist who serves as both figurehead and ambassador, carrying the music forward and inviting new listeners into what may be America’s greatest cultural achievement. El’Zabar has done exactly that, helping define jazz not merely as a genre, but as a nation of its own within the nation.A percussionist at heart, El’Zabar moves fluidly among drums, hand percussion, thumb piano, and voice. He is also a magnetic bandleader and a collaborator with modern masters including David Murray, Lester Bowie, and Billy Bang. At the center of his work is the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, a shape-shifting group that has endured for 50 years. More than one of the great jazz ensembles of the past half-century, it is a powerful social and political project—music with memory, purpose, and movement.The ensemble is inseparable from Chicago, where El’Zabar was born and raised and where Black American life forged a singular history. In the long shadow of post-Reconstruction segregation—and especially during the Great Migration, when Black families moved from the South to cities across the East, Midwest, and West—a largely self-sustaining Black society took root in Chicago. The community built its own economy and institutions, from banks to a Black musicians union. The system was far from ideal, but the culture that flourished within it was vibrant, resilient, and transformative. Kahil El’Zabar emerged from that world—and has spent his career carrying its pulse forward. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    The Original OGs Episode 17 - The Most Exciting Episode Yet! - Straight from the concrete where legends are made, OG Mr. Rick sits down with OG Skin Fire — a former enforcer from Brooklyn, Illinois.

    Straight from the concrete where legends are made, OG Mr. Rick sits down with OG Skin Fire — a former enforcer from Brooklyn, Illinois, the oldest Black township in America. Tune in as OG Mr. Rick discuss the code of being a chosen enforcer on the mean streets of Brooklyn Illinois, a township that exist within shouting distance of East St. Louis. Brooklyn’s roots run deep: AME and Baptist churches formed in the 1830s, later tied to Underground Railroad work that helped freedom seekers move north. Built as an early interracial community, Brooklyn was boxed in by discrimination, bypassed by transport routes, and starved of investment. Oral history says “Mother” Priscilla Baltimore led Black families across the Mississippi from St. Louis to Illinois, founding a freedom village in the American Bottom. Records place Baltimore between St. Louis and Brooklyn in the 1830s, with her first documented Brooklyn connection appearing in 1839. Baltimore became a Methodist preacher, while William Paul Quinn helped found Brooklyn AME Church in 1836 — now Quinn’s Chapel AME, believed to be the first AME church west of the Appalachians. In 1837, abolitionists platted the land into a mostly Black town; by the mid-1800s, Brooklyn had grown into a community of about 200 African Americans. Quinn Chapel AME and Antioch Baptist served as Underground Railroad stations, sheltering freedom seekers before sending them toward Canada. Brooklyn incorporated in 1873. By 1886, its Black majority organized politically and elected John Evans as the village’s first Black mayor. But investment flowed around Brooklyn and into East St. Louis, leaving the village isolated from railroads, industry, and growth. In 1891, Evans named the post office Lovejoy after abolitionist Elijah P. Lovejoy; the town’s later high school carried the same name and reputation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
