  • Summary

  • “The peace treaty made it possible for people to unite and get together.” - Black Panther, Joseph Mpa. The historic Hoe Ave Peace Treaty of 1971 is realized - allowing for the blending of influences and creativity, and clearly connecting the death of “Black Benjie” - and the peace-mission of The Ghetto Brothers - to the birth of a culture: no murder, no treaty; no treaty, no peace; no peace, no Kool Herc party…ya dig?

Street Cred

Sometime a hard life can be a great gift. Sounds like for some these lost and unsupported young men they turned pain into progress. Rap into a movement and words into justice. Powerful.

Shout out to the real people that made this podcast, so much heart. A Grammy will look great on the mantle.

Love this story of Peace

I can dig it, This inspirational story was wonderful to learn. It all started somewhere and I feel this was a great way to explain how it went down.

I really enjoy hearing this story

What I never knew and really loved is that hip hop was born out of peace. Being a teenager in the 90’s listening to hip hop that made it to our top 40, that would have never ever occurred to me. And the Ghetto Brothers sound good! I could hear the influences to hip hop listening to their sounds. The style of the story-telling kept me hooked. Learning there were strong women figures as the backbone wasn’t a surprise - that typically is when you hear the real story. I guess I was surprised that that was part of hip hop origins though.
