Divine Forces Radio at 90.7 KPFK FM explodes with revolutionary hip-hop every Friday night (think X-Clan, Black Star, Wu-Tang, Public Enemy, Brand Nubian, Shadow, etc). This juggernaut derived from Fidel Rodriguez' popular Seditious Beats show. With an emphasis on cultural awareness and rap that busts a message in its rhymes, DFR is banging and mind-expanding. They give away books while stretching our vocabularies, mixing hip-hop wax with spoken word, motivation, and spiritual interludes of power.
Its theme nights have hosted such stars and speakers as Maxine Waters, Amiri Baraka, Lyrics Born, Cypress Hill, Killah Priest, Chuck D, Ozomatli, Tony Touch, Immortal Technique, Howard Zinn, Luis Rodriguez, and Afeni Shakur. Giving the youth a window into better choices and keeping our heads banging, take DFR's red pill and "escape the Matrix" to a killer soundtrack.
