April 26, 2018 Ric Wilson Announces New EP, BANBA, out May 18Th On

April 26, 2018 For Immediate Release Ric Wilson Announces New EP, BANBA, Out May 18th on Innova<ve Leisure Listen To “Split” (feat. Sen Morimoto) hps://soundcloud.com/ricwilsonisme/split-feat-sen-morimoto-prod-hirsh-2/s-FcagV (BANBA EP cover art) "...his work is grounded in poliEcal awareness and confident poeEcs. Yet more than anything, he seems interested in conveying his own personality through his music—both as a recording arEst and as an entertainer.” — Noisey "If you’ve yet to experience the jubilance of Ric Wilson, jump back and get familiar with one of our favorite young guns in the game. — Okayplayer "He may be just old enough to drink, but it feels like he’s been making music for decades.” — Mass Appeal "With his wiRy wordplay laid over soulful instrumentals, Wilson produces some of the most exciEng new music to come out of Chicago." — Chicago Tribune’s Red Eye Chicago's own nouveau disco-rap superstar, Ric Wilson, is pleased to announce his new EP, BANBA, out May 18th on Innova<ve Leisure. A 22 year-old community acEvist and arEst based on the Southside of Chicago, Ric got his start with the legendary YCA (Young Chicago Authors), the Chicago-based storytelling and poetry organizaEon which helped launch the likes of Saba, Jamila Woods, Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, Mick Jenkins, Noname, and many others. The EP’s first single, “Split,” premiered earlier this morning via Noisey. “I wrote ‘Split’ in the middle of a relaEonship that was going south,” says Ric. “The song is about how someEmes the best decisions you'll make in life are the ugliest and hardest, but the healthiest for you.” BANBA is Wilson’s first release since 2017’s acclaimed Negrow Disco EP (stream here). “When I dropped out of college to do music, I caught myself trying to explain the music I do in a different light than what it really was because I was scared of other people's percepEon of my ‘rap music,’ Ric says. “I feel like people don’t appreciate rap as an actual art form, which is insane because there’s an art to rhyming, every beat is a colorful canvas and every lyric and rhyme is a stroke of mine.” As for the EP’s cover, it’s “an ode to Basiqaut and Hebru Brantley who are my favorite visual arEsts,” says Ric. I want people to feel like they’re in a Basiqaut and Brantley-inspired painEng when they’re listening to this EP.” Listen to Ric Wilson’s “Split” (feat.

Chai Release New Single/Video, “Maybe
February 24, 2021 For Immediate Release CHAI RELEASE NEW SINGLE/VIDEO, “MAYBE CHOCOLATE CHIPS” (FEAT. RIC WILSON) NEW ALBUM, WINK, OUT MAY 21ST ON SUB POP CHAI by Yoshio Nakaiso, Ric Wilson by Jackie Lee Young Japanese quartet CHAI present a new single/video, “Maybe Chocolate Chips” (Feat. Ric Wilson), from their forthcoming album, WINK, due May 21st on Sub Pop. CHAI’s past albums have been filled with playful references, in the lyrics, to food, and WINK’s intimate single “Maybe Chocolate Chips” offers an evolution of this motif. Bassist/lyricist YUUKI wanted to write a self-love song about her moles: “Things that we want to hold on to, things that we wished went away. A lot of things happen as we age and with that for me, is new moles! But I love them! My moles are like the chocolate chips on a cookie, the more you have, the happier you become! and before you know it, you're an original♡” Chicago rapper Ric Wilson, who they initially connected with at the 2019 Pitchfork Music Festival, brings smooth vocals over a laidback beat and whirring, dreamy synth. A community activist and artist based on the Southside of Chicago, he got his start with the legendary Young Chicago Authors, the Chicago-based storytelling and poetry organization which helped launch the likes of Noname, Saba, Jamila Woods, Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, Mick Jenkins, and many others. He’s also featured in the accompanying video, directed by Callum Scott-Dyson, which is made of fun collages and video clips in classic CHAI style.

SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University
Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE August 2017 SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University Tessa Rose Brown Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Arts and Humanities Commons Recommended Citation Brown, Tessa Rose, "SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University" (2017). Dissertations - ALL. 764. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/764 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT This dissertation asks what hiphop is doing in predominantly white higher-educational contexts, specifically in composition classrooms. Using ethnographic, autoethnographic, and historical methods, it finds that hiphop’s work in composition classrooms at PWIs is contradictory. This mixed-methods investigation suggests that the contradictory relation of white fans, students, and institutions to hiphop is shaped on the one hand by white listeners’ increasing identification with the historical struggles of African Americans under capitalism, and on the other hand, by disidentification or abjectification of African Americans in an effort to “win” the zero-sum game of capitalism. This contradiction results in a paradoxical situation where white fans—and white institutions—love hiphop and yet harbor antiblack views about the Black communities and Black students who make hiphop possible. However, the findings also suggest that identifying this tension offers writing instructors an opportunity to be more explicit about working towards anti-racist goals in the hiphop composition classroom. The dissertation’s historical study, ethnographic and autoethnographic studies, and review of contemporary hiphop and composition scholarship suggest that teaching and practicing reflexivity are core solutions to the paradoxical rhetorical action of hiphop in predominantly white spaces.

Blacklivesmatter: Music in a Movement
#BlackLivesMatter: Music in a Movement OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How have musicians responded to the Black Lives Matter movement? OVERVIEW (Note: this lesson contains some profanity. Teacher discretion advised.) Photo: Daniel Leal-Olivas On July 13, 2013, George Zimmerman was acquitted for killing Black teenager Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman, who was part of the neighborhood watch program in a Sanford, Florida community, shot Martin after a physical altercation. Martin was unarmed. When Zimmerman was found not guilty of murder, protests erupted across the country, both on foot and online. In response to the verdict, activist Alicia Garza wrote a note on Facebook affirming her love for Black people and that their lives matter. The post went viral, leading friend Patrisse Cullors to repost Garza’s statement to Twitter with the hashtag, #BlackLivesMatter. The hashtag soon became a slogan, then, with the help of activist Opal Tometi, an online campaign. After the 2014 killing of unarmed Black teen Mike Brown by a Ferguson police officer, Black Lives Matter gained further momentum and became an organization with chapters nationwide. Black Lives Matter is a new movement, reminiscent of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, but one of the digital age where activism occurs as much in virtual spaces as it does real spaces. The movement calls for not only justice for Black Americans affected by police brutality, but for social, political, and economic power in Black communities. Black Lives Matter advocates for the eradication of poverty, addressing the mass incarceration problem, and ensuring that Black queer, trans, and disabled lives matter too. As it has grown in notoriety, politicians, actors, athletes, musicians, and other public figures have also joined in the movement.

00:00:00 Clip Clip Jesse Thorn: [Somber] Hi. It's Jesse, the founder of MaxFun, coming to you from the microphone at my home office, where I am socially segregating. So, we promised you a MaxFunDrive this week, but things... [suppressing a grim chuckle] haven't exactly gone how we expected. So given the pandemic, we're gonna postpone this year's Drive. Events are still fluid, so we're hesitant to give you specifics about new dates. Right now we have late April penciled into our calendars. We'll keep you posted about that. As it stands, a lot of our Drive machinery was already cranked up. So, for one thing you might hear a reference or two to the Drive in our shows, which might have been recorded before we made this decision. And here is some good news: there's a bunch of great bonus content available for all of our MaxFun members. If you're a member and you missed the email with instructions on how to listen, check your spam folder or log in at MaximumFun.org/manage. Also at MaximumFun.org/manage, you can change your membership if your circumstances have changed. We know this is a tough time for a lot of people, and we understand. You can also go to MaximumFun.org/join at any time if you'd like to become a member. During the next couple weeks, what would have been the Drive, we are going to do our best to be extra available to you. We've got some streaming events planned, some social media stuff.
