The rally wrapped up about 10 minutes later than planned. As some protesters went to the nearby Apple store to get warm, I heard Olga quietly repeating one of the chants. “Russia will be free, Russia will be free, Russia will be free,” she said again and again, like an affirmation, like a mantra. Then she looked up and smiled. “This will be ringing in my head all day.”

Mozzy Shares Tracklist for Children Of The Slums, Out This Friday, April 19th

Mozzy earned his reputation as one of the most authentic rappers in the game today by staying dedicated to his home neighborhood of Oak Park in Sacramento. Today, the veteran artist announces the tracklist of Children Of The Slums, his next album, which is dedicated to his home neighborhood's lost souls, and those who have lost loved ones to the streets via drugs or violence. The new album features a standout guest spot from Fridayy, who lends his otherworldly vocals to highlight track "LOST IT ALL," as well as spots from Mozzy's longtime collaborators Celly Ru and E Mozzy. Home to lead single "JADED" ft. Eric Bellinger, plus other previously-released fan favorites like "IF I DIE RIGHT NOW" (4 million views on YouTube), a heartfelt tribute to Mozzy's latest grandmother, "MISS BIG BRUH," and "FREE JUJU,"  Children Of The Slums drops on all platforms on Friday April 19th via CMG/Interscope.

Pre-save Children Of The Slums HERE

Children of the Slums arrives after a busy 2023 for the respected rapper. In the Fall, Mozzy released a series of high quality visuals for songs like the heartfelt "If I Die Right Now" and the retributive "Free Juju." Before Mozzy finished up a one-year bid in May, he released KOLLECT KALL, a 6-track EP featuring appearances from YFN Lucci, Baby Money, and his Sacramento associates E Mozzy and Celly Ru, and home to the acclaimed single "FREE ALL THE LIFERS." KOLLECT KALL earned coverage in Pitchfork, Rap Radar, HotNewHipHop,& Okayplayer, and more. The neighborhood hero linked up with a like-minded veteran when he appeared on Killer Mike's GRAMMY Award-winning album MICHAEL, and he kept the streets hot with singles like the flex-heavy "10 Percent" (8.8 million views).

Mozzy's next album continues his run as one of the most acclaimed and popular street rappers of his generation. He has earned two GOLD certifications from the RIAA as a lead artist–"Excuse Me" and "Sleep Walkin–and three more on his collaborations with Skylar Grey, Likybo, and $tupid Young. Mozzy earned mainstream recognition in 2018, when his song "Sleep Walkin" was featured in a pivotal scene in Ryan Coogler's Black Panther, and he earned a shout out from Kendrick Lamar in his Grammy Award acceptance speech. More recently, his street classic "Bladadah" placed #68 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best West Coast Rap Songs of All Time.

Stay tuned for Children Of The Slums, one of Mozzy's most personal projects to date, coming this Friday.

Unity Temple

Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed 1905-1908, is the only remaining public building from Wright's Prairie Style period. It is both a National Register of Historic Places and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wright designed two separate high, skylit spaces—one for worship, Unity Temple, and one for the congregation’s social gatherings, Unity House—connected by a low, central entrance hall. The temple’s plan was a perfect square, creating a wonderful sense of unity and allowing up to 400 congregants to be within 40 feet of the pulpit. Surrounded on all four sides by depressed cloisters, the auditorium floor gives the visitor the sense that they are floating or on a mountaintop. This feeling imparts the space with a spiritual power that feels at once intimate and immense. Wright would later claim that building Unity Temple made him realize that the real heart of a building is its space, not its walls.  https://franklloydwright.org/site/unity-temple/

The original budget for the building was $45,000, although its final cost was about $80,000. Constructed of poured-in-place concrete, the cost could be kept than other building methods, with the same forms repeated throughout the structure. The temple appeared starkly different from traditional churches, both in its construction and its lack of traditional bell tower, cruciform plan, or front entrance. In addition, the interior is illuminated by clerestory windows and skylights, its thick walls insulating the interior from street noise and creating an indirect, soft natural lighting.

I toured the building on a Saturday morning, with an audio recording,, captivated by its interior spaces. As in many Wright buildings, the entrance and transitional spaces featured low ceilings, before opening into the two public spaces, the sanctuary and Unity House, a social gathering space.

As I sat in the silence of the sanctuary, I marveled at the compact yet complicated space, arranged on several levels, and lit by clerestory windows and stained-glass skylights. It seemed about as perfect a space as I had ever been in. Earth tones on the walls and simple oak trim enhanced the organic, "natural" feel of the place.

After touring the temple and eating lunch, I wandered up Forest Avenue past several Wright-designed houses, and reached Wright's home and studio, which I had previously toured.
