Black August and Asata Shakur

Black August was a project that many hip hop artists in Cuba look back to with a lot of nostalgia. The projects, Black August, it was all under the umbrella of being in solidarity with Asata Shakur who was granted asylum in Cuba. Cuban rappers still today, you can see, pull some aesthetics from this era of cultural exchange and it's totally tied to the fact that these are the rappers that were coming.
