Ungovernable Resistance Interviews AWKWORD — with 7-Song AWKWORD Mix & World Premiere World View Song
In August, I appeared on Ungovernable Resistance Radio, with DJ Resistance and co-host Vega X of Guerrilla Alliance.
Before the on-air interview, DJ Resistance spun a mix of my tracks, including some off my first LP, See the Light, and my forthcoming World View project, the first-ever 100% for-charity global Hip Hop album.
For the track list or to stream/download the 7-song mix, see below.
Ungovernable Resistance Radio AWKWORD Mix ft. DJ Resistance by AWKWORD
After the AWKWORD mix, DJ Resistance and Vega X interviewed me about World View, politics, the state of Hip Hop, the ins and outs of the music industry and the hybridization of musical genres, among other topics.
Then, I introduced the newest song off World View, “Doctor Doctor”, featuring my homie GuessWho? and produced by MajorR RE of Malaysia — and they world premiered the song live.
To hear the interview and/or “Doctor Doctor”, see below.

NEW, Expanded AWKWORD bio
Click on AWKWORD to view the bio!
Hip Hop was created out of disfranchisement, alienation and persecution (the blues), fueled by creativity, infused with rhythm and soul, and enhanced by innovation. It is at once (a) a protest song, a call for freedom through revolution (e.g., AWKWORD – “The People’s Champ“); and (b) a party song, a call for ‘freedom’ through the reclaiming of our own lives (e.g., AWKWORD ft. Whatzisface – “Cheers“). The history of the black American, product of slavery, descendant of Africa, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, is much like the history of the American Jew, product of the Holocaust, pogroms and the Inquisition, descendant of Palestine, Russia, Poland. Although the commercial success of rap music can be attributed to an increase in popularity amongst white, Christian suburbanites, the culture of Hip Hop’s home is in the ghetto. The first ghetto was inhabited by Jews in Europe — this is the source of the term. The ignorant — white and black — ask how AWKWORD got into Hip Hop. Get Your Mind Right: AWKWORD IS Hip Hop!…
