Being black in America is traumatic to say the least and with therapy flat out inaccessible to most of us self-medication is more than a coping mechanism, it’s damn near an institution. Why else would every hood have a liquor store and church on every corner? The same reason that jail has replaced college in those same communities, because trauma is in our DNA.
In this Jermiside directed clip Elucid, Che Grand and Donwill address this stress and do their best to explain just how hard surviving it can be. The Lessondary’s Ahead of Schedule is available now at all digital retailers and on compact disc and limited edition cassette.
