The Unseen Legion is Hip-Hop. And so it is a little bit of the streets. Every street. Everywhere. It is the underdog in the fight, the underground in the struggle. It is hands-on, do-it-yourself, something-out-of-nothing. It is the music and language of survival, all around the world.
The Unseen Legion is people everywhere. In the true Hip-Hop tradition, we pay homage to our roots while taking care of the present, and building for tomorrow.
The Unseen Legion is NOW. It is cultural revolution and spiritual evolution. It is introspection and self-expression. It speaks truth to power... and the music never lies.
Episode 33: L.A. Unified Skill District Memorial Dedication to Mr Pupa Don
Unseen Legion Radio is a family. Hip-Hop is a family. And when we lose family, we come together as family. We support each other and make sure to celebrate life and love. And that is what we did this week on Unseen Legion Radio.
L.A. Unified Skill District veteran Mr. Pupa Don passed away last week. And so DJ Earl-E, MC Prose, Yeski and Bin Grim opened the studio to our L.A. Unified Skill District family and made sure to send him home the right way. Akil the MC, Agent 006, Lalo Calrezien, Thai Strong, Dalion Jahson, Trevor Williams and DJ 3Sum were all on hand to tell stories about Mr. Pupa Don and reminisce about a humble, big-hearted, talented and multifaceted man and a life well lived. Bin Grim led us in a prayer before it was all said and done and We took calls from Agent Malik, Pupa Don's neighbor Ray, His brother Big D and Jack Spade who shared their experiences and respects as well. Tommy Blak (Phase Two Thursdays 7-10pm on Kill Radio) also stopped thru to raise the vibes while 3Sum took over the turntables at about 10:00 and played song after song after song with Mr. Pupa Don chanting, rapping and generally showing why he was so well respected among his musical peers. Special thanks to Yolanda Mims-Barrow for sending us so much of Mr. Pupa Don's rare and unreleased music. 3Sum was playing songs that he (and we) had never heard before. Heads were nodding, the love was flowing and the spirit was in the air. DJ Earl-E closed it out for us with some jams to take us into the Extended Mix and we went a little longer than usual so be sure to get Part II for another 20 minutes or so of ULR. This one's for the ages. Rest In Power, Mr. Pupa Don!
