Listen "Aloe Blacc Sees No Reason to be Afraid in Music, Culture or Politics"
Episode Synopsis
(Airdate 6/3/25) Raised on salsa, merengue, and cumbia, Blacc fell in love with hip-hop as a kid and started writing rap songs when he was nine. With his lyrics drawing influence from socially conscious artists like KRS-One, he put out his first hip-hop mixtape at age 17. After inking a deal with indie label Stones Throw, Blacc released his solo debut Shine Through in 2006 and sophomore album Good Things in 2010. Boosted by the breakout success of “I Need a Dollar" Blacc has consistently used his voice for social change, making music meant to inspire a positive shift in mindset. His new album "Stand Together" dropped in January 2025.https://www.aloeblacc.com/ https://www.dominiquediprima.com/ https://www.instagram.com/aloeblacc/ https://www.instagram.com/diprimaradio/
