(this mixtape isn't perfect or complete, and yeah it is mostly from the pov of amerikkka (lookout for v 2.0), but it is some stuff i had that I always kind of wanted to put together. for the most part it is designed to educate and uplift the kids, but really it is for everyone.)

official stance of Lolaka ya Afrika on 'Black history month': The history of African people is the history of the world and civilization since its inception. Thus the idea of giving black history a month is degrading to say the least, and indicative of much larger problems and contradictions within our society. But we believe in the importance of African/Black history with all of our heart and soul, as well as the need to position history to shed light on present situations and conditions.
