The Electrifyin’ Filthy Rockwell speaks with Riverwise’s managing editor, Megan Douglass, about his passion for music, art, and community. Nominated for a grammy for his production role in Kanye West’s “Mercy,” and mentored by greats such as George Clinton, J.Dilla, and Juan Atkins, Filthy’s goal is to both mentor younger musicians who come behind him as well as provide them a space where they can learn, create, and be supported. Listen and learn about his beautiful cultural preservation space in downtown Detroit, his activism around the city of Detroit, and a little about Death.

The Riverwise Podcast is bringing together Detroit citizens to consider new and forms of resistance to continuing economic and political marginalization in communities of color. For over three years now, the Riverwise collective has created media that depicts local activism and the profound new work being done in Detroit neighborhoods. Through the quarterly Riverwise magazine, Riverwise community conversations, and the Riverwise Writing Workshop, we're developing our collective voice.
