Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed.
And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is.
Getting a new one put up in its place.
I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.
As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a
majority black city in which there were more
homages to enslavers than there were to
enslave people. Listen to Rebel Spirit

I found that about things with there.
They're rather up.
So, yeah.
That's what.
Yeah, brother.
And honestly, with his sound,
the music is like the music we are go up on.
That's why I think it's so dope about his stuff.
Like you said, he mentioned some of the people.
We first got outside.
That was the sound, bro.
So they hear that now.
Super fired.

I was like he could
He would have confirmation
You make it
Yeah, that's all right
I don't know these out of air
but we won't leave that long
We'll work on that for Chuck
But what was the concept
for bringing up
Because that's like one of the most far
Like, especially from the merch
ad-point marketing standpoint
Like collaboration
What was the first behind that?
Really I just want like my merch
I ain't really want to drop
No merch on my name
And I won't drop so I might really
Spoke career
You know what I'm saying
Like I think that was why
jeans and we drop in merch.
It was like clothes he actually wear.
Yeah, I kind of dropped clothes he actually wear.
So you got, I love white T.
Like, he got to hit all you folks, it's a White T.
But you know, like, it's me though.
I don't know what I'm standing on, packed it up.
Like my, you know what I'm saying?
Back to my field of words, so as for folks.
Yes, sir.

Man, heard of a white time well.
Oh, yeah.
White time well.
Now that dude ain't gonna be crooked off.
That's the thing, though, you know what I'm saying?
I'm like, right, two, three white teas a day, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, for real?
I don't wear the same white tea, white be the slobily, all the thing.
I'm a remix that meter.
But that tea, it's on the order.
She ain't going to lie.
Washington, a beater.
And more going to come about
a different side that went in.
I probably got on a beater now
from COVID.
It was like, yeah, while we hear,
is that in our pocket
if you got a color beaters?
It's said, the white beefs school.
But if you got on a bite,
we don't know what I'm saying,
that he didn't investigate.
It's worth great.
And then once I realized
who he really was,
he was in a face.
The gravely.
That big,
that's a little funny.
Oh, Greg.
Oh, I like you.
Yeah, he was a day one.
All the white, white is only, you know what I mean, especially if you got on the belly
tees, you can't put on a cold beer undergrat.
That's Cargody.
You know, you out of black, don't know what you're doing.
Oh, no, bro.
I don't even know what you're in buying like that.

What's up?
How do you want to drill?
It's cool, but I here.
It's a high here.
She's what a lot?
She had to talk me that shit.
You know, I was back right.
I never see the three guys online.
Before I...
I want to ask, bro, what got you to make your music?
That was their inspiration?
Really, like, when I was a little, like, kid that I wanted to be a rapper,
like, you know, like, little power, you know?
So, but then I started ball a lot, I would just, like, oh,
that wasn't in the auction, you know what I was on?
Really, man, just knowing I could do it for real.
Like, you want to say, my Paul Estreya, he died.
The day that we took off, he died that day, the man, you know,
so, but he, he had just told one that, like,
he wanted to be coming to the studio brained girls
and kicking it and all that, and like,
you got a rap to him, like, they're right words,
they rhyme in the world, quick sings do you then, for all that.
Then I died, I made my first rap.
They'd be gone on every since for real.
What makes you do like the releases and shit?
That's a classic like scooter and see the...
I mean, you know, they're really how I first started turning up, like getting a buzz for real,
like rapping on beats that's already out.
I want to really drop the songs that doing freestyles on nationality.
And then like when I did the T-I-B-E's, when I put the money on with Expressway, that
when I really took out.
So now I'm always keeping, like, where I sparred with, like, on beat kids.
So, you know, I just things like...
things are, though.
I'm not every time, but what's that?
And I was like, damn, anybody else
make trip, but I'm gonna go crazy.
He's ever.
That's like, bro, that nostalgic beat.
When I listen to your shit, bro, it's like live in these tapes,
spin, real, a little, like,
he's to get that shit back in the day, but.
So, he makes the music to make him a little
get that old school, puts a 12-year-truck, bro.
Get outside with that, be there, like he said,
the rear the moist, but like, that was fired.
That's like nostalgia.
That's like nostalgia we grew up on, too.
Yeah.
And well, I'm favorite about my old-school.
So, shit, what's that?
What's your guy?
What you're trying to get?
I want sitting in you.
I like sitting to Sineauville.
Yeah, dream park.
I ain't gonna lie, I like I'm sitting to Mancolo too hard talk.
Yeah, yeah, but you really can't.
Due to what, that's that shit, though.
So, that's that one right there.
I like, Erdy Kirk.
That's a real pin my road.
What's how the nigga exists?
I'm gonna cause you're up because they hired them down up?
Definitely, I mean, yeah, because up here you got snow and shit,
so you might get the little rustic till like, yeah,
but the Midwest is always super.
random you can always find some bar with some heat back there especially old
shabby like that you can find some shit in sitting unsure I'm I'm a little cry
yeah oh I don't know I do got old for now though I forget it's like you got one of the best
old bar shit out yeah probably the oldest is got to come ready I got a new year than that

We're about put a microwave drill now, yeah.
They tell me, we'll get my shit in here.
I said, well, I don't get my car better.
He's like, this got a year.
I said, yeah.
I said, what call you?
So you do bad next up?
Fuck it, I'll be better next up.
Now, how are you going about choosing your beast and shit, bro?
And I ain't gonna lie, bro.
When I'm flipping through the beaks, like, yeah.
It takes like point three of a second.
Like, I don't know.
I just know.
I get one second.
Keep scrolling and rock.
But if I, if I land like five, six seconds on one beat,
like, this and the tour,
I don't be able to all or rap on.
Sure.
Yeah, y'all don't know.
It's just a feeling, like, you know what I'm saying?
It might, I feel like it sounds insane,
but it don't, like, friend was a drill beat.
That would like, you go back and listen to that,
they really like some gangster shit.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
I just said what I said on the head.
Like, I ain't never really rap on the beach like that.
So.
Oh, long was it before?
Like, you put that out on the take, or the take-off?
Well, you were ready to start throwing the buzz, you know?
Well, I put it on the album, J-Meet, and it was the only girl someone.
So, like, like, why Kate went on again.
Yeah.
But, like, they were going crazy to it, like, in strip clothes in Atlanta,
but I ain't really put no gab behind it.
I ain't make no content too.
I ain't, I just put her on the app.
But then on the looks, I was just like, I want a girl.
The girl, oh, my deluxe, white cable going crazy.
Like, you don't friend do.
She's from A?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think, but if I was saying inside, what's the other?
I bet she pulled.
She's on, and she, she's, she's a good dog.
She's my heart, too.
And that's what's far about your music.
You got people outside and have music,
then you got every girl tick stop, like, play your shit.
What's that feels like?
Do you dominate the women's side, too?
And that's a real moneymaker.
That's you crazy.
You're crazy.
If you're on the boat, my head,
and Fred, too.
We need passing boat.
Like when we do get on the boat,
we be passing boat,
they'll be turning up to my shit.
You shit, crazy.
See, that's why I'm all meant to be a rap.
Why not?
Why not?
The dink's no flop.
I mean, I don't need a little shit.
Yeah.
What is it?
For it?
Shit, I did look at a lot of 15 year.
Mm.
It's bald.
Yeah.
Oh, sight.
Like, mm.
Is he blood together?
You got somebody playing your music and they dance to it.
I got to turn my game on.
They don't know who the fuck.
Drives Janelle club for you.
Well, she'll play that game.
Man, what?
I ain't gonna say that, bro.
Did you just see Barbie walk through that?
Like your friend, dude.
We know how Barbara used there.
I'm just saying that.
Barrio, do you know, about basketball.
You told me I play for the Rockets.
I need it, funny.
It's like that.
So you figure out you gotta keep making up type of rigors,
or it's like, yeah, no, I did it with me.
Oh, yeah.
Home.
Like, after that, I came with the bird, like, Popeye,
ranked you, like, she's a three-oldering.
Totally different type of song, you know what I'm saying?
Like, when Disney York, I had just did, on...
I just went to fiddle, like, driving on my own,
so I was just jumping on other people's shit
that I had did.
The Hudson Mall for a little bit of some street shit
but me on Disney York sent that song through
I just felt like the one other girl's song at the time.
And right after that, I went white back street
when I told him to say, I'm hungry,
So, yeah, what I'm saying?
When that's just feeling, for real, just the pain.
It really just got a high feeling studio in the day.
What I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, but the girl songs on the way, though, for sure.
They all got outside of that show.
They did you.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, yeah.
I just, I just, I feel like a lot of artists be trying to,
I think, get more.
They be trying to chase back in the other than, yeah.
Yeah, and all the type of that, like, I got so many different types of supporters, like,
oh, you know, you know, about it.
Yeah.
A girl gonna shake their air in regard.
That's what I did.
That's a fact.
You have more fun making the music or performing it.
Performing.
It used to be making but not perform about.
Yeah, like going in one of the railers now.
30,000 folks screaming that shit.
Like, top, like, we were cutting music out.
Like, I know, yeah, it's fine.
So, you ain't one of your best cities.
Or surprises in cities outside of it along them.
Yeah.
What I'm most surprised the city of the night?
What that was prime?
Yeah.
I started to say Syracuse, yeah.
Who was out?
Yeah, they prefer to take off, like,
they knew ice cook word for a living.
Damn, I went on tour, New Wayne.
Yeah, so like, I was in front of people that didn't know me.
We are on this cereal, like, oh, for one, crazy.
Damn.
I was just about to burn that, duh.
Like, what was that like, obviously, cause for trial.
You went on tour, we wanted to go to go to tour.
Way, what was that experience?
Like, man, they really really.
Man, it really taught me a lot, bro.
Like, I'm controlling the wound.
At the time, I probably wouldn't want to be an injury to speak.
2,900 people, wounds like, going to a way in the next day literally, like, I'm
from 20,000 folk every night.
So now, like, when I came back out to it, like, he showed me against my peers.
Like, I control the big state easier.
Like, I do that every night without knowing them.
But nobody topping their name.
Like, ah, yeah, love the bob, man.
And now, that shit was cool, man.
How don't let you be bad, man?
It's a heat without old fate.
The Louisian team wants to go on tour,
they're like, yeah, right, like,
I wouldn't even, I didn't think I was that hot,
like, you know what I'm saying?
But once I started realizing,
why I had to work shit by then,
like, man, okay, cool,

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers.
And guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast called,
Hey, Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
A pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.
But this one's extra special.
So how do we actually come up with a name
Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it
one of the early names of our band
before Jonas Brothers.
This is how you guys remember it going down?
Yes.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,
where people could call in and say, hey Jonas.
And then I wrote down on my little notepad,
Hey Jonas, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential.
title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcast.
Just listen.
We don't care where you hear it.
Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is.
Getting a racist statue removed.
And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is.
Getting a new one put up in its place.
As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering
the civil war.
To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee.
Boulevard. Get to the grocery store. I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway.
If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job.
I'm Akila Hughes. In Rebel Spirit, season two goes deep on both of those things. The fights,
the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky Statehouse
that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies. We contain essence. We contain
spirit. How do you represent that? They are just fueling a
fire that is really catching.
You'll see what I mean.
Listen to Rebel Spirit season two on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I love the sounds, the buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers
calling the place soccer, football, at home.
Why do I watch the World Cup?
That's like asking me, why do I breed?
I inherited that fandom from my mom.
I like watching it with my dad.
It's a connecting force.
From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernando Chavari, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots.
We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great.
A soccer game is a festival.
It's not just a game.
It's your culture.
I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull.
It is an American game.
The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though.
Are they the only ones that don't like that?
Nobody likes that.
As we get ready for the men's World Cup this summer,
listen to American Football as part of the My Coutura Podcast Network,
available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's your favorite of the city?
I don't know.
Atlanta home here at Yusk.
It was in Dallas.
They weren't seated for me, bro.
That's right.
I said, they don't like.
That might sit for me.
I too.
The very least from Rock.
One of the same.
Oh.
I put with you in September.
Yeah.
Houston is a beautiful place, bro.
The Allison is just slip on.
Devella was asked Houston is so lit.
But Houston during COVID, now they say,
Houston didn't start meaning for Dallas.
This on's the way up, so, sure.
Yeah, that's cool.
That's shit right up the street, though.
Or our airwax, you know.
Tastes like it's on a world, bro.
It is.
Yeah.
It didn't even like it's on a world out there.
So, true.
I'm gonna keys out with hands, bro.

Her price and I'm like.
I'm falling out somewhere in the
Skins and clubs like
there's usually with that line in Miami
like every day. You know like New York
and L.A. like, don't turn to see
like they did but like for our culture.
Yeah. He's still got no folk for
upright and I ain't even my liar.
You always try to get it to go to Houston.
Yeah, some of the...
And I'm not going to be trying to show
I'm not to deal on a bulletin just to speak the environment.
Yeah. Even if you go there on Monday.
What? They got some corporate
agency, though.
Even going to Monday, we're doing,
we're doing good, you want to listen to music.
Oh, yeah.
And we could be out all night if we're going to them.
You're going to see the baddest women out of the tour.
My boy said a Monday work trip, boy, we locked in, every minute.
We didn't we, they're doing it.
They're all this.
Yeah, they haven't been there.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's, we work fast.

Awesome.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm a third search.
I don't know.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Crazy, I think.
We had a live show out there.
This is our tour out.
Yeah, what's the,
I don't know.
We're on.
Yeah.
What's me right?
Really?
Yeah, me did son, I got.
You're stepping, though.
That's different.
I thought, Jay.
What's that feeling like, man?
You first saw your song on a radio.
First, like, people with your city,
your neighborhood who recognize the all, like,
he really all right now.
What's that feeling like?
Gee.
My first time he and myself when the radio was kind of crazy.
It was kind of crazy.
It really, like, starting to see people ride past.
That one I really were like, damn, on the turf, like,
I don't even know.
It's really bit of sweet, though, come down.
Like, you know, could you close people in your family life,
then it's actually being able to.
Yeah, so it's like, it's like, just sweet audacity.
We develop place for it.
So, yeah, people happen for it.
Then people around, they're like, oh, yeah.
So, man, you know him cool now.
You get a little bit more texting you used to.
You went in the magic?
I know you've had bound before,
but when your first song,
first-to-drubing, did you go into magic?
Like, did, I appreciate it.
Yeah, I did.
And now, I walked in to imagine,
they got sick.
Six-seven little kids on, that's all.
I'll run out of my 10-20,000 that's all.
Come on a bill out there.
When we go back for the A, man,
the live-stop, the lady on me, where I got to go.
Still clear with Chris.
I wanted to ask you, bro.
How the hell did you get your dad to agree to do that damn string?
I ain't answer.
You be?
Hell, nah, just pull up.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Damn, why come you at asspot and funny?
He called the two, like, what did he, NIL, shake ass?
Once he ripped, like, people started telling him, like, in public, like, no, you're going viral.
Like, he don't know about that shit.
Other people would tell him, like, for those out.
The way bill was fucked with the only hell.
That was something of the most organic.
I don't see all that.
I've seen.
I want to quit my dad about.
every on the onion, but like he light don't change.
Because it's like, why he looked iris,
so it's like, damn, like, you don't boost a spot-up.
Yeah, I'm gonna bring him back out.

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed.
And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place.
I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both.
Both of those things.
As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority of black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
