Godfather of Chinese Hip Hop: Detroit Rapper Speaks Out Against US Propaganda

Dana “Showtyme” Burton from Detroit is considered the “godfather of Chinese hip hop.” This week, Burton joins KJ Noh to discuss what took him to China 25 years ago, what he saw there, and the experience of being Black and Muslim in China. They also discuss how hip hop culture developed in China, what it looks like now, and why Burton fights anti-China propaganda. Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, we will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-truth--6487495/support.
