From Solecast (listen here)
In today’s episode of the Solecast I speak with Sima Lee. Sima Lee is a truly revolutionary artist who was raised on Black Panther-eque / Black Nationalist communities of self defense and mutual aid. Her entire life has been spent making rap music and doing revolutionary organizing. I discovered her music through submedia’s Trouble documentary on Hip-Hop, check it out here to learn more about her and other radical rap artists. In this interview we discuss:
-
Her upbringing and how she came to anarchism
-
The ideas of the maroon communities and how it informs her work
-
Her work at the maroon House in DC and the mutual aid practices they employ in the community
-
The importance of self defense and building lasting power beyond mobilizations
-
How to create stronger ties between (mostly) white anarchists and communities of color
-
Her new album “Trap Liberation Army”
