LIGHT-YEARS is the new album by Nas and DJ Premier that is a true gift to fans of 1990s New York City boom-bap. Premier’s signature scratches and production paired with the legendary lyricism of Nas functions like a living archive rooted in the values that built the culture. “Writers” is a tribute to the graffiti artists who risked arrest to make the movement visible across trains, walls, and city blocks, and “Bouquet” honors the women who shaped hip-hop. Light-Years is proof that boom-bap is still alive, still principled, and still capable of giving overdue flowers to those who built it. Listen on Spotify.

SHOOT THE PEOPLE is a searing documentary portrait of Nigerian-British photographer and activist Misan Harriman.  From a life shaped by migration and travel to becoming one of the most influential visual witnesses of contemporary global protest movements, the film follows Harriman across cities and borders as he documents mass mobilizations—from Black Lives Matter to Palestine solidarity. It shows the moral urgency that has driven his work and examines how travel can deepen political consciousness rather than dilute it, sharpening an understanding of power, colonial legacies, and whose lives are rendered visible or disposable. Watch the Trailer.
