EL.i.BE. Stays Fearless In The Wake Of The Tragic Shooting Of Philando Castile
More horrific evidence/ footage surfaced yesterday in the tragic shooting of Philando Castile. When video after video surfaces of the mistreatment of African Americans, I often have an out of body experience; flabbergasted as cops act like animals with no remorse.

Mpulse Keeps It Coming With Track 41 in His 52 Week Campaign
