    FuseBox Radio #659: #FBR Classic Long Format Episode - Tunes + Shawn Carter's "Empire State of Mind" - Hov Business Talk with Forbes Magazine's Zack O'Malley Greenburg

    With the show coming back into dropping regular episodes this year, we're dropping a few flashback shows for everyone!Our commentary during this 2018 episode touched base on updates with the after effects of the earthquake + tsunami in Japan, the recent U.N. intervention in Libya news, the possible upcoming U.S. government shutdown due to budget issues and why it's just ridiculous how politicians are dragging this along, the re-birth of the "Birther" fake controversy with President Barack Obama and some other diverse topics here and there.We also had a great interview with Forbes magazine staff writer Zack O'Malley Greenburg about the creative inspiration, work & drama behind his latest book, "Empire State of Mind: How Jay-Z Went From Street Corner to Corner Office".Book Summary:Empire State of Mind tells the story behind Jay-Z’s rise to the top as told by the people who lived it with him–from classmates at Brooklyn’s George Westinghouse High School; to the childhood friend who got him into the drug trade; to the DJ who convinced him to stop dealing and focus on music. This book explains just how Jay-Z propelled himself from the bleak streets of Brooklyn to the heights of the business world.Zack O’Malley Greenburg draws on his one-on-one interviews with hip-hop luminaries such as DJ Clark Kent, Questlove of The Roots, Damon Dash, Fred “Fab 5 Freddy” Brathwaite, MC Serch; NBA stars Jamal Crawford and Sebastian Telfair; and recording industry executives including Craig Kallman, CEO of Atlantic Records, to paint a tantalizing portrait of a very private mogul._________FuseBox Radio Playlist for the Week of March 30, 2011Top Spins (Music Still Lasting in Rotation/Music Played Live on Air Each Week/As Well As Music Requested By The Listeners)1.

    MAY 7

    FuseBox Radio #657: #FBR Classic Long Format Episode - 2016 Presidential Candidate Interview Sessions: Socialist Party USA's Emidio "Mimi" Soltysik (R.I.P.) & Angela Nicole Walker

    With the show coming back into dropping regular episodes this year, we're dropping a few flashback shows for everyone!Introduction Song: A Tribe Called Quest - Youthful Expression (Jive Records)During this FuseBox Radio Broadcast episode, DJ Fusion interviewed Emidio "Mimi" Soltysik (R.I.P. to a great person at large, activist & longtime friend of the show who transitioned over the past week) & Angela Nicole Walker, the presidential and vice-presidential candidates for the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election for the Socialist Party USA.During 2016's “interesting” presidential election cycle (to say the least) in the United States, we were more aware than ever of the imbalance in how 3rd parties are looked at in our current political system in terms of balanced exposure by mainstream media outlets, if they even get any attention at all.The FuseBox Radio’s 2016 Presidential Candidate Interview Sessions were created to assist with educating voters a bit of information about various political parties & ideologies beyond the Democrat/Republican binary with what they stand for straight from the source.We talked about their viewpoint of what exactly IS a socialist, how Emidio & Angela decided to become deeply & personally involved with politics & the Socialist Party USA, their platform (in regards to education, health care, the legal system & more), how change needs to happen from local levels on up (in the ballot box and on the streets), the politics of division & the urgent need to change that ASAP, naturally being “intersectional as f**k”, how folks have been responding to their campaign (especially since socialism has been slandered with misinformation via various places) and lots more!For more information about the Soltysik/Walker campaign, go to:http://www.Rev16.ushttps://twitter.com/SocialistRev16https://www.facebook.com/Rev2016For more information about the Socialist Party USA, go to:http://socialistparty-usa.net/https://twitter.com/SPofUSAhttps://www.facebook.com/SPUSofAFor more information about Mimi Soltysik, check out this great breakdown by Common Dreams here: https://www.commondreams.org/views/2020/06/28/interview-mimi-soltysik-1974-2020___Official FuseBox Radio Broadcast Website: http://www.FuseBoxRadio.comOfficial FuseBox Radio Broadcast Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/FuseBoxRadioShow
