Hip-Hop, the Psalms, and Black Liberation - With Lenny Duncan

Rethinking Faith

This week Lenny Duncan joins the show to talk about their new book "Psalms of My People: A Story of Black Liberation as Told through Hip-Hop". Lenny contends that if you want to understand the Black experience in the US, you must understand hip-hop. In this new book, Lenny treats Hip-Hop songs like sacred scripture and writes reflections and meditations based on important hip-hop tracks. We trace the history and story of Black Liberation reflecting on Lenny's new sacred Psalms for today. Enjoy!
