afropunk mixtape #045 goes hard for summer’s end

It’s been one hell of a summer; record-breaking heat waves, the death of a Queen, But it’s also been a summer full of boundary-pushing music and radical movements. Oh and the epic AFROPUNK Festival in Brooklyn. This month’s mixtape is a celebration of liberation, featuring new music from Black Pantera, Roses Gabor, Bobby Sessions, and more.
