I love doing what I do as well as knowing more about music than I realize. Lemme explain. I was DJ’ing a fashion show and a desiginer comes in at the literal last minute and asks me to play something African. What do I do? I play some @ChicagoAfrobeat and jam out.

The Tlaib / Omar story is only incidentally about Israel. It's about a flagrant abuse of presidential power to control travel by elected members of Congress. It's a made-in-America scandal, by Americans, for Americans.
