3 years since October 7th. But, the Palestinian people have been resisting a brutal occupation since the Nakba in 1948, and really since the Balfour Declaration in 1917.

But something definitely shifted that day, and the world hasn’t been the same since. That morning, I remember thinking that this must have been how my ancestors felt on Nov 1st 1954. Glory to all martyrs & all power to the Palestinian people 🤲🏼

So much history, so much context, and so many stories still needing to be heard and amplified!

Lifting up Palestinian 🇵🇸 voices from episodes I recorded with: @sourclementina in May 2023 and @didiyalla in the fall of 2021. As well as a short clip “Voices from the Streets” from October 2025 - all recorded in Huchiun, on unceded Lisjan Ohlone lands.

🎧 Available to listen on all streaming platforms. The podcast beats blessing your eardrums were produced by Frisco’s own @monk_hts & @evaclear_music ✨

CURYJ is celebrating 15 years of defending our communities, building youth leaders, and pouring power into a decolonial and abolitionist future! (Link in bio)

Join us for a night of dining, dancing, and entertainment as we celebrate 15 years of defending our communities, building youth leaders, and pouring power into a decolonial and abolitionist future.

We hope that you can be a part of this rites of passage celebration. CURYJ is extremely proud of every community member that has already been part of where we have been and where we are going.

🎧✨ The Amazing Oakman ✨🎧
A 3-week journey of beats, growth, and creativity with the youth of East Oakland! 🌱 In collaboration with @curyj510, we taught music theory, beat-making, vocal recording, and the history of Hip-Hop to young creators with no prior experience—and the results are incredible.
Made possible by a grant from @calartscouncil, this project is a testament to the power of music as a tool for healing and expression.
Shoutout to the teaching artists and staff who made it happen: @phillipdrummond, @darapnerd, and @monk_hts! 🙌

TRACK 3
“ Mixed Up “ feat. @monk_hts
Produced by @monk_hts

“HAVE SELF” album on all dsps

rest in power my mentor @justice_for_zumbi
..we still fuckin wit it bra

LYRICS:
Steppin’ to this bitch, I’m lookin’ dope, boy, fresh
I know you see us on the screen, you know the convoy next
I’m old school, like a beamer with the alloy set
Side shows in the hood, keep the elroys vexed
It’s like one into the two and Two into like multiples
We doin’ what we pose’ to do See me and rich is overdue
Crack the heem smoke a few
Get a little sociable
She with a bunch of friends
But she said, I’d rather roll with you
I’m like, shit, the more the merrier I’m all up in your area
Tryin’ to break all the barriers
Grinding till we vary up And jumpin’ out of cherry cuts
And all the pretty fly women wanna marry us
It’s Monk Mack the monsta
I’m like leather or silk
I’m from that same cut of cloth of how the veterans built
And I be walkin’ over suckas like I’m steppin on stilts
And when they on the next trend I be reppin’ the still

CHORUS

In San Francisco, kill yo’ brother
That’s yo’ choice now
Sold so much lean could put a Porsche down
Payment
One brick could put a horse down
Cutty drank so much, wok
His voice hoarse now
This yo’ bruh? oh, coo fasho Some brothers prep the role
Make me think of the movie The Crow
No phones backstage, like sue me I’m dope
Saw the green room it’s mo crooks than you usually know
The kids told me y’all was broke youth usually know Floops, flooglies, and thumb-thumbs
Who Runnin’ the show?
You did a lot, but you don’t go dumb in the sco Fruits, smoothies, and mob shit
Drove dro in the snow
Granddaddy had beef with the Klan Miguel rolled a whole leaf in Japan Runnin from the beast, peace with the plan Teach that man before bullets could reach that man

we got a album comin on @solidarityrecords

Ras x Ras #BlackAugustResistance 🟥⬛️🟩30 years ago, I recorded my 1st song & Ras Kass dropped his seminal album Soul on Ice.

Fast forward to 2026 & I got to share the stage with my namesake & West Coast GOAT lyricist @ras_kass at The Lama Shack here in The Town for a powerful Black August Organizing Committee event commemorating the assassination of BPP Field Marshall, George L. Jackson on August 21st organized by our Artivist Cadre comrade @official_ministerkingxpyeface ✊🏾🐉

Then we slid thru @fabbydavisjr1 downTown spot Dezi’s Lounge & chopped it up bout Scrollz of Lion Rock and our song “Ancestorz” off that album — recorded, produced & mixed by Monk HTS, featuring Ka’Ra Kersey & originally released by @solidarityrecords 🫡🫡🫡

Look out for the “Ancestorz” music video coming soon. Album streaming now + physicals available @1332_records

Full circle. Ancestorz 📜🦁🪨

Public Enemy came to Stern Grove & we were ready.!!! As a team, we can make anything happen.!! It was Freaky Fred Day too, so we did what we could to muster some folks together & had an incredible time.!!! Got to see my heroes perform that I haven’t seen since 88 at the Oakland Coliseum.. I cried like 3 times just in awe reminiscing.. Just a reminder of how important a group like Public Enemy is.. Lyrically, production, content, message, delivery, etc.. One of the greatest to ever do it.!!! I’m grateful..!! #PEcrazycrazyPE
