This month’s playlist has been curated by 20-year-old poet, emcee, and activist Yeshahyah Yisrael. He was raised in Sacramento, and works to coordinate self care efforts in the Sacramento community through workshops and community events with the Sol Life Media team, out of the Sol Collective Arts and Cultural Center. Yeshahyah combines golden era and contemporary hip hop sounds, with traditional Indian rhythms to tell his story of a South Sacramento kid working to create change in his community.
