As millions of Americans took to the streets for the No Kings demonstrations, One Jazz’s undercover agent in Los Angeles, Paul Bennun, made a special one-off mixtape portraying—best he could—how it felt being in LA over Saturday 18 October 2025 through bittersweet words and music, including poetry from Archie Shepp, Moor Mother, Lonnie Holley and Umar bin Hassan.
