RIP Afrika Bambaataa: The Legacy—and Complicated History—of a Hip-Hop Icon Afrika Bambaataa didn’t just make a hit—he helped create a movement. My tribute to one of the culture’s most complex pioneers.

A legacy can be both groundbreaking and complicated. Afrika Bambaataa’s death forces us to wrestle with both. Here’s my tribute—a nod to “Planet Rock” and its hip-hop impact!

I got to feature on the song "Summon Some Pride" by @moisturizedkev.bsky.social. If I may be frank, I'm pretty proud of this verse pun not intended! All the intended puns are in the song. 😇
