Join Nairoby for a laid-back convo with Zen Studios, a Massachusetts based hip-hop music group about their music, their sound, and the creative world behind it. Grab your headphones and tune into the laughs with a few blunts & some weed laws.

We’re looking at two policy shifts that hit the same communities in very different ways: the Supreme Court’s latest voting-rights ruling, and the federal government’s move on cannabis rescheduling. For Black and brown communities, these are not separate stories. Voting power decides who gets to write the laws. Cannabis policy decides who gets punished, who gets paid, and who gets left behind. So when the Court weakens voting protections and rescheduling moves forward without real repair, the bigger picture becomes clear: the same communities that were overpoliced and underrepresented are still being asked to wait for justice.
