Chicago has a long history of Black and brown communities coming together to advance equal education, immigrant rights, and affordable housing. But last year, as looting and unrest rocked the city, tensions rose between the communities on the South and West sides, with reports that gang members were trying to protect businesses. Activists Tanya Lozano and Bella BAHHS organized a rally to remind people that Black and brown Chicagoans have similar goals. The event didn't go as planned, which is why they're trying again this year with an all-day concert instead. The event hopes to bring Black and brown communities together by offering free resources like COVID and HIV testing, vaccinations, exercise classes, and of course, live music.  Guests: Tanya Lozano, Co-founder, Healthy Hood Chicago (@_tanyalozano) Heavy Crownz, artist and rapper, @heavycrownz Follow us on Twitter: @CityCastChicago Sign up for our newsletter: chicago.citycast.fm

OVERVIEWBrownTown on BrownTown. The fellas take an introspective look at their own lives, analyzing the strategies (for better or worse) for managing time, money, and relationships while running SoapBox, building power with activists, and working in creative fields and other industries under capitalism.BrownTown goes maco before micro, discussing how the Bourbon 'n BrownTown podcast functions within SoapBox's larger multimedia framework as well as the outside perspectives of SoapBox's work itself. Caullen quickly explains the importance of language in how we talk about and value work (what is "work?" Is it a "weekend" if you're still working?), noting 9-5p salaried job normalization versus creative fields and freelance work. Both David and Caullen talk about their life outside of SoapBox as David brings up the struggle between financial security and following creative passions. BrownTown goes on to cover filmmaking/movement-buildling as collaborative work; being new to the non-profit funding world; and their personal strategies on how they (attempt to) balance their lives between work (in every sense), time with loved ones, hobbies, and even (and especially) sleep. The gang lands on a notion which should be at the forefront of our lives: happiness is a priority. But under capitalism, which prioritizes profit over people, profit over the planet, and constantly commodifies and brainwashes our desires, how do independent creatives get paid without their work being co-opted by elites/corporate powers? How do activists avoid burnout while working towards a liberatory future? How do we simultaneously fight the power while operating within the power to dismantle the power? Here's BrownTown's take.--Mentioned in episode: Ben Bernstein for inspiring the topic, Chicago actor Isis Mollinedo, Chi DNA alum Rio Mutasim, audio engineer Genta Tamashiro and his work with Masego, and Andrew Merz for taking photos during the session.CREDITS: Intro/outro song Success by Heavy Crownz ft.

GUEST Heavy Crownz is an MC and high school educator hailing from Chicago's Englewood community. With a degree in History from Tuskegee University, Crownz aims to create personal music from the soul in a style of flow he calls AfroTrap. His strongest motivations to go on have been the need for people to have good music with substance and purpose. OVERVIEW Near the end of episode 25, the podcast’s first live recording at DePaul University, Heavy and Caullen began discussing the nuances of code switching. In this episode, BrownTown welcomes Heavy back to continue that conversation. The gang breaks down their personal experiences with code switching and how it interplays with respectability politics, social mobility, and survival. Code switching is a linguistic phenomenon often described as switching between dialects, or changing the way in which one speaks, in order to more easily acquiesce to a particular environment or be understood/validated by a particular person(s). These alterations can include changes to rhetoric, language itself (slang/vocabulary), tone, syntax, diction, body language, overall demeanor and can be both conscious and unconscious. Though everyone plays this game to some degree, in America it’s often discussed and practiced amongst Black folks and other people of color (see Insider’s take). BrownTown begins by inquiring about Heavy’s experience traversing the worlds of hip-hop and educational institutions. All three dive into personal experiences at places of work and growing up fluctuating between their “native” speech and code switching to better assimilate into situations. David brings in a bilingual perspective, adding more depth to the discussion. In relation to friends and family as well as society at-large, BrownTown and Heavy make parallels to broader issues, recognizing their and others’ privilege regarding language, access, and discourse. They analyze how the need to and refusal to code switch can create unconscious value judgements and indications of one’s relationship to the dominant social and cultural order. The group spends much of the episode broadening the linguistic definition of code switching to social situations in white spaces and the internal monologue of Black and Brown folks to resist playing up stereotypes for sake of onlookers (see SoapBox editorial piece). This is intermixed with discussions of Boots’ Riley’s film Sorry to Bother You and the Saturday Night Live Prison Job skit. In short, the gang subverts the idea of “appropriate” and “proper” language and demeanor, sending up these notions as inherently problematic, othering, and ultimately harmful. However, they recognize the real consequences this brings: Heavy articulates how, while in college, Martin Luther King Jr. felt immense pressure to code switch and dismantle every stereotype about Black men in order to avoid any additional discrimination and hindrance to his education. Caullen references Fred Hampton’s powerful oratory and ability to capture attention to organize all kinds of people with his rhetoric. All three push back against the idea that one need code switch to be ”respectable” yet understand its real life implications. -- Find Heavy’s music on Spotify, Soundcloud and YouTube.

This is the sixth Chicago Drill and Activism (AKA "Chi DNA") installment of Bourbon ’n BrownTown. Chi DNA is an ongoing documentary and multimedia project, which also features interviews, micro-documentaries, and editorial pieces on drill rap and the activist resurgence in Chicago. LIVE AT DEPAUL The DePaul University Honors Program hosted Bourbon ’n BrownTown in this live podcast event as part of their ongoing Speaker Series. In conjunction with the Chi DNA Speaker Series, this event tackled the Honors Program’s themes of the year, exile and refuge, as well as local/global displacement as a whole. After introducing SoapBox, the Chi DNA project, and the Bourbon ’n BrownTown format, BrownTown, their guests, and the university audience watched the Chi DNA Micro-Doc Episode 3 as a springboard for their discussion and following Q&A. Watch before you listen! GUESTS Jessica Puri is a Nigerian-born Public Health professional with 5+ years of experience in scientific writing, health research and public health communication on the Bachelor and Masters level. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in Integrated Health Sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine in Northwestern University. She sits on the alumni advisory board for the Center for Community Health Equity and the Board of Directors for SoapBox. Heavy Crownz is an MC and high school educator hailing from Chicago's Englewood community. With a degree in History from Tuskegee University, Crownz aims to create personal music from the soul in a style of flow he calls AfroTrap. His strongest motivations to go on have been the need for people to have good music with substance and purpose. OVERVIEW The group starts by defining displacement: a forced movement of people from their homes, neighborhoods, and/or occupational activities from natural or man-made causes. From there, they discuss the connections between international crises, intracommunal violence, and disenfranchisement in Chicago as well as the cultural representations they manifest. Recorded four days before Columbus Day, the discussion touches on intentional segregation and destabilization of Black and Brown geo-specific areas both in Chicago and the Middle East. BrownTown and company draw parallels between highly criticized and complex international crises, gang violence in Chicago, and the broader implications of white supremacy that help create and exacerbate them on a policy and narrative level. Jessica brings in her first-hand international experiences while breaking down the rhetoric around refugees in America. She subverts the often problematic language to explain the importance of refugees and providing a safe haven and resources for those experiencing trauma—home and abroad. As the team weaves drill rap and activism in and out of the conversation, Jessica analyzes Caullen and Heavy’s anecdotes using an ecological model to helps us better grasp the decision-making processes of folks’ suffering from intergenerational and contemporary trauma (mentioned: Rico Reckless interview). Heavy explains what his moniker, the “63rd Representer,” tells us about growing up in a hypersegregated Chicago and the current state of gentrification (enter: Obama Community-Benefits Agreement). The group later draws out the importance of art as a coping mechanism, in its many forms. Near the end of the conversation, the group touches on notions of Black masculinity in and outside of drill, code-switching (see episode 29), and what being “appropriate” really means. How do displaced people deal with trauma, particularly when resources to do so are scarce? How can we un-do known oppressive policy of yesteryear to better shape an equitable future? Where does drill rap and activism play into all of this and why is it important? Here’s BrownTown's take. CHI DNA The Chicago Drill and Activism project explores the creation, meaning, perspectives, and connections between drill rap and the resurgence of grassroots activism since the early 2010s through the eyes of the people involved. It focuses on contemporary Chicago as an intentional place for the resurgence of these two formations of cultural and political resistance during relatively the same time period. It examines how authenticity, community, and other important values to the subjects are impacted and promoted via technology, social media, and a rejection of traditional means of movement politics and corporate structures. As told by activists and drill rappers alike, the project situates the the subjects’ experiences and actions into a broader theoretical and empirical history of systemic inequality and resistance in Chicago.
