I grew up on hip hop. It was only later that I really got into politics (or rather, anti-politics). This mix is a fusion of two things that I am truly passionate about: hip hop music, and fuckin' anarchy. Now let me be clear. Not every song is a hip hop song ABOUT anarchism. These are songs to bump while manifesting dreams. Think of it as a State of the Union address given by hip hop's finest...
