about

Home is a musical conversation on the global struggle for housing. Original verses and tracks on the subject from artists all over the world are expertly mixed together with first-person testimonies from the United States and South Africa. Seamlessly mixed together by Dj Boo, this audio documentary aims to highlight a series of issues in the struggle for homes: inadequate access to employment and healthcare, war, displacement, gentrification, immigration, eviction, lack of services, homelessness and the foreclosure crisis, to name a few. Pieces of conversation weave in and out between songs, verses, and the production of political hip hop heavyweights the Cornel West theory, grounding the music in lived experience, offering an intimate glimpse into the perspective of everyday people fighting for their homes.
