Living Chicano legend Jose Valle - aka Raza Del Soul - blessed our humble podcast this week to chop it up about lowriders, woke culture, Chicanos vs Hipsters and why his mom didn’t like Cheech & Chong’s Up in Smoke. Jose is a community organizer, record label owner/producer, DJ, curator and all around man of the people who's been doing dope shit out of San Jose since the mid 2000s. He began organizing around this time for immigrants' rights as well as starting up Souleros Ball due to lack of spaces for young Chicanos in San Jose. Since then he's started his own record label - Raza Del Soul - and continues his organizing work in criminal justice, jail reform, and Chicano representation via Silicon Valley De-Bug.
