The commentary during that week (solo by DJ Fusion) during the show after being back from a LOT of things touched base mainly on the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Maryland (yet another suspicious death via law enforcement on an African-American men in the U.S.) and it's after effects in the area (the #BaltimoreUprising, riots and why they occur, political and mainstream media responses & actions to the present, it's part in the history of American protest at large, the hypocrisy about whose lives are most important to preserve depending on race & class (and position), the weirdness of the Internet with this latest situation and respectability politics, what is it going to take to make folks acknowledge that this pattern of negative behaviors needs to be resolved on an institutional level and more).
There is no brand new Black Agenda Report news mini-segment on this week's episode due to the special commentary.

Our commentary this week touched base on:
* what we've been up to since our last full length show (our various vacations in the NYC Metro, North Carolina and Bermuda; projects we're working on, etc. with a detour in talking about our random drinking habits)
* The passing of boxer, celebrity and civil rights activist Muhammad Ali and his impact on sports, using celebrity to push all sorts of issues of import, the blatant hypocrisy of America suddenly loving him for "transcending race" and his impact on us on personal and macro levels
* a rundown of DJ Fusion's trip to Moogfest in Durham, NC with music acts, Afrofuturism panels, the area at large, etc.
* the latest updates on the sad, steady spectacle that is the U.S. Presidential Election nomination race as of broadcast time and the need for an educated vote
* the utter travesty of the Stanford rapist Brock Turner's sentencing and how society handles sexual assault issues at large
* mini-movie reviews of "X-Men: Apocalypse", "Captain America: Civil War" & "Nina" and other things here and there!
There is no brand new Black Agenda Report news mini-segment on this week's episode due to our extended commentary.

** Introduction Song: GZA - Shadowboxing **
This week, we have a special episode of the FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk where DJ Fusion interviewed Wes Elliott, Wearable Technology Innovator, Entrepreneur and founder of EFD Sports about the company's latest sports technology product, StrikeTec.
Some of the things we talked about included Mr. Elliott's history in business and sports technology, the basically brand new niche that StrikeTec has with athletes on all levels - from casual regular folks to professionals in boxing, mixed martial arts, etc., the multi-faceted process of creating, manufacturing, testing and processing sports technology at large (from connected apps to how a product would even fit on a person comfortably), how to measure statistics that athletes to regular people actually CARE about that will assist them with fitness, getting skilled in their particular craft and/or just as fans of a sport, successfully funding your business ideas (crowdfunding, VCs, putting in your own money, etc.) and more!
