Music #79

On May 9, 2022, Atlanta police raided the mansion of Jeffery Lamar Williams, known across the globe as Young Thug. An 88-page indictment alleges that the rapper and 27 co-defendants participated in organized gang activity, committing crimes ranging from assault and armed robbery to murder. Music journalist Christina Lee and crime and politics reporter George Chidi team up to tell the full story of the craziest trial in Atlanta and hip hop’s history.

    If you don’t understand white supremacy, which is racism, what it is and how it works. Everything else you think you understand will only confuse you. ~Neely Fuller Jr.~ & ~Dr. Francis Cress Welsing~

    Fabulous, well- produced podcast
    Hope they will be allowed to catch up to current trial events. Ex: Former Judge has been removed, thankfully, and the replacement judge seems much better able to manage this trial. A lot happened to cause Judge Granville’s removal following Granville’s effort to throw defense atty Brian Steel on a contempt charge.

    The BEST
    I am so so sad that this podcast isn’t continuing. It has been one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. I love the unbiased observations and updates that were provided in an efficient manner. Please don’t go! 😩

    Too many ads
    Interesting show, hosts are great at explaining what’s going on. Sometimes guests are a bit long winded - which would be fine if it weren’t for half the show being filled with ads
  • Shawn504504

    New Episodes! - Great show
    This show is awesome. I’m so glad they are releasing more episodes covering the trial as it happens. Best reporting on this topic happening right now!

    Nuanced and Thoroughly Investigated
    George and Christina really dig deep into the underlying context in the city that frames this trial, and all of its shocking and sad details, so well. They are doing the story justice, whatever the outcome of the trial ends up being. If you’re a fan of Atlanta music, or interested in the politics of crime around music generally, it’s a must-listen.

    Free thug
    But for real, this is on the ground journalism and it means soooo much for this country. It means so much more than anyone thinks it does. Just wait. God bless these articulate, well-researched and intelligent journalists 🙏🏽 it will stand the test of time, just wait

    This podcast speaks to the greatness of good journalism. The interview, breakdowns, the timelines given gives the listener a (what I believe) honest perspective of the reality of what is YSL, Atlanta street gangs, and the efforts to stop this culture in the great city of Atlanta. When is the next episode!?
  • DoctorJai

    I stumbled across this podcast by hearing about it through an advertisement on another podcast. I didn’t know anything about this story, but was instantly fascinated by the storytelling of it all. I can’t wait to hear additional episodes.

    Waiting for Ep 2!
    Just had a baby and wanted to listen to something that was the opposite of breast milk while I made dinner. Great listen, the male host reminded me of the narrator guy from The Real Slim Shady, which I got a kick out of. Looking forward to episode 2!
