This is the latest episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of June 24, 2009 with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary.
Our commentary this week focused on the U.S. Supreme Court Ruling on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (and Justice Clarence Thomas' lone opposing vote), the Perez Hilton/Will.I.Am beatdown incident (and it's double standards of PC-dom), the Chris Brown/Rhianna court case ending, the passing of Ed McMahon and some other things here and there.
This week, we had a great interview with one of the lastest up and coming Hip-Hop artist on the rise Roccett of CTE West & Get Your Green Up Entertainment (http://www.myspace.com/roccett).
Some of the topics we covered with this talented and hard working MC included his background in life and music in the West Coast (California), how he ended up building and eventually doing business with Young Jeezy and the CTE Movement, the subject of what an artist has to do to truly promote themselves properly and make a living - as an independent or major label signed artist, staying humble in the midst of a lot of work and some other things!
