Organized Konfusion, hailed by @lmizelljr as "futuristic forerunners of style and flow," were an underground force in the 90s and, though they never broke into the mainstream, are revered as cult favorites amongst the backpack-era elite. Our first feature celebrating 50 Years of Hip-Hop takes us back to Organized Konfusion in 1994. Afternoon Show host and Director of Editorial Larry Mizell, Jr. looks back on the title track from the duo's sophomore Stress: the Extinction Agenda and explores the lineage of stress in African Americans through a personal reflection. "The title track to their 1994 opus Stress: the Extinction Agenda trains their focus on a killer of Black folks that isn’t gun violence or the police—rather, the one felt in the heart and veins, manifested in Black people as shortened lifespans and hypertension, at levels significantly higher than in any other group. Stress. The legacy of previous generations—something like 15 of them—impossibly traumatized at the hands of white supremacy, socio-economic terrorism and the trans-Atlantic slave trade."
