DJ Rahdu Honors The Life & Legacy of MLK w/ 'Mental Evolution Three' Mix

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

DJ Rahdu commemorates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with the Mental Evolution Three mix featuring tracks from Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment, Kendrick Lamar, Farnell Newton, Tall Black Guy, DJ Jazzy Jeff, D'Angelo & The Vanguard, Jose James, Oddisee and more. The latest installment in the Mental Evolution series, this mix is a carefully selected compilation of tracks that speak to the continued struggle for civil rights and equality for all people. DJ Rahdu delivers this mix with a bit of backstory on how it all came to be:

I like to put a lot of thought into each entry in The Mental Evolution series because they're really personal and extend beyond just the mere expression of my usual, musical preferences. I've procrastinated creating a new one for the past few years but have been filing selections away in my mental file cabinet for the day I actually attempt the endeavor. Enter Raheem Karim of Music Life Social who hit me Tuesday evening and asked me to have a mix to him by Friday [laughs]. As we discussed his expectations, he asked for something to commemorate the celebration of Dr. King's birthday and I immediately thought this would be the perfect opportunity to download and unleash these ME3 tracks from my brain. I completed this in much less time than usual, so please excuse any execution errors but I hope the message is received, in the words of Brother Farnell Newton, in Peace + Love. Thank you for listening!
