Join the Ibejis in a powerful, humorous and profound discussion with one of the Bay's best in written and podcast journalism, JR Valrey of The Block Report Radio (TBR), whose guests have included Cynthia McKinney, Erykah Badu, Mumia, Emory Douglas, and a host of other greats.
The Block Report is a source for some of the most exclusive conversations in politics, hip hop, history and culture.
The Ibejis will play some of their favorite jams from the radio show while going down memory lane with JR to discover how he's been able to capture the story of so many great artists, humanitarians and political firgures. We will highlight one of his last discussions with Bay Area music legend, Pam the Funktress.
