If you are having a hard time with the state of the world these days, me too. My guest on today’s episode is someone who gives me hope, and I hope they can do the same for you. K!MMORTAL is an incredible emcee / vocalist / producer / visual artist / actor from Unceded Coast Salish Territories who released a song I felt deep in my soul just a few months ago titled “Stop Business As Usual”. Days after releasing the song, they went on a month-long homeland journey to the Philippines where they got to perform with youth organizers who are fighting for a Free Palestine over on that side, and we talked about the whole journey as well as Kimmortal’s roots in the Vancouver music scene, their albums Shoebox and X Marks The Swirl, and a few deep cuts too.
I want to thank everyone who supports this work, and let you I’ve got another music episode on the way (it’s been a time) for all the people that have been asking about more mixes. ALSO… for my people in the Northwest: I’ll be performing with the great Nikkita Oliver and Kimya Dawson this Sunday, February 25th at the Capitol Theater in Olympia, WA. Tickets are still available here: https://olympiafilmsociety.org/kimya-dawson/ and all proceeds are going to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
See y’all soon.
