“La Familia Ties: The Black Educator Who Built Chicano Rap”

from The Gangster Chronicles · host The Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts

This week on The Gangster Chronicles, Steele and special guest co/host Tony A sit down with Murry Brumfield — the visionary behind La Familia Records, the first Chicano rap label founded by a Black man. A former teacher turned music mogul, Murry shares how he saw major potential in a genre others overlooked. He opens up about working with legends like the late Mr. Knightowl, Lil Blacky, Mr. Shadow, and discovering none other than Lil Rob. We dive into the culture clashes, the discrimination he faced from both sides, and how he stayed true to the vision that changed the game forever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
