    The Original OGs episode #22 - One of the most powerful stories you will witness. LaTanya Jenifor-Sublett, was tortured, falsely accused and sentenced to 42 years in prison.

    Remove the Black Fathers and the family will fail. Turn the Black woman against the Black man, he will fail. Remove the Black woman from the home. The Community fails. “Willie Lynch Letter.” This is one of the most powerful stories you will hear on any podcast platform. Meet LaTanya Jenifor-Sublett. At just 19 years old, she was tortured, falsely accused of a crime she did not commit, and sentenced to 42 years in prison. She endured 21 years of incarceration before finally being released. A survivor of torture by members of the Chicago Police Department, LaTanya does not call herself a community activist—but she refuses to remain silent. Today, she fights for justice and stands against the mistreatment of those who are too often overlooked. LaTanya Jenifor-Sublett Story:After I refused to sign it, I was slapped, choked, beaten, slammed into the concrete wall, handcuffed, and called names that I had never been called before. I was in that interrogation room for hours without water, nothing to eat. I urinated on myself. They threatened to incarcerate my mother if I did not sign it. And still I said, “I’m not gonna sign this.” One detective walked out of the interrogation room. When he came back, he opened the door, and my mother was standing there in handcuffs. They said, “We’re taking your mom to jail for this. F*****g sign it, or your mom’s going to jail.” My mom was just crying. And I’m like, “How are you [taking her to jail]? I’m telling you what happened.” And they took my mom away. And I thought that she was in jail. So, I’m like, “Okay, okay, okay. [I will sign it.]” Then they literally grabbed my hand. One of them held me by the neck as I signed this statement. In several places. They don’t make you just sign it at the bottom—you sign it in all the spots where it incriminates you. That young, nineteen-year-old woman thought she could go to the police station and say, “I’m mad about this crime. Don’t be mad at me; be mad with me.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    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.
