On April 29, 1992 Los Angeles, Ca burned for almost a week in protest of the not guilty verdict of four White police officers caught on video brutally beating motorist Rodney King.

Anyone around at the time can tell you that if you listened to LA hip hop you knew it was coming. While the media has almost exclusively reported the events that followed as shameless petty theft the people and the music tell a different story.

Take a sneak peak into the mix to come.

There are audio contributions from Dream Hampton, Favianna Rodriguez, Elizabeth Mendez Berry, Jasiri X, Invincible, Psalm One and local activists and organizers from LA, Arizona and Alabama. We also have incredible audio from Grace Lee Boggs, Angela Davis, Dolores Huerta, Lydia Cacho, The Zapatista Woman’s Revolutionary Declaration and others. 

Gotta listen to this incredible musical tribute for International Woman’s Day from @thesoundstrike Mix from @djsloepoke and audio drops from some powerful and incredible women. http://tinyurl.com/
